    Tapping a valve on a 55 gallon drum.

    Yohan, I looked at using a weld in bung on my barrel, but instead chose a 2" pipe section (saved 1 part). I cut a hole with my torch about 3- 5" up from the bottom of the barrel, and welded the pipe section in. I chose the 2" pipe, because it let me put in a heating element also (have not used...

    Looking at a trailer mounted MEP-003a at GL

    KSmailes, I have purchased several things from GL (2 ea Deuces, 2 ea generators, 3 ea MKT's). The deuces fired right up (one needed little work) and drove both home. I have not had time to look at the generators yet (MEP-003 & MEP-004). The MKT's came partially filled, but worth what I paid...

    SouthDave, I plan on putting a Cummins in it, when I get to that point. Started stripping the frame down today, did not get to far before dark. Probably going to take awhile, since I normally only get to the hanger one day a week. Laterrrrr Avn-Tech

    Welding on a 3053A?

    Scuffy, As an alternate, I would drill and tap holes in the case to mount to. That way, you and always put a bolt in to stop oil from leaking out. I have a welder (flame spray), that uses a nickle powder and a gas welder to weld cast iron. To start, I always prep, then preheat the item(350...

    Welding on a 3053A?

    Scuffy, I have not seen the transmission you are talking about, but all transmissions I have seen so far have a place to bold the transmission mount to. I would not recommend welding on the case (unless you break the case, like happened at our shop installing the trans in a race car this...

    Some Q's about the centrifuge...

    Area52, Currently I am not heating my oil. I did include a water heater element in my set up, so I would not have to redesign my set up to add one later. What I may do to thin my oil, is mix 20% fuel in with it before I start filtering it. I will post some photos next week, when I get a...

    Group, About two months ago, I purchased a Dieselcraft OC-50 centrifuge. This week I finally got some time and set it up. Took two days to assemble it all on a 55 Gal drum, the way I wanted it. Once I got it all assembled, I ran 10 gal of waste oil for approx 1 hr. (centrifuge flows 60 gal...
