Re: [pdx-biodiesel] wash tank pump failure

George,

I talked to Felix about the pump repair. He put together the wash  
system. He recommends that you use PVC unions to connect the pump  
rather than camlock connectors, because the camlocks will eventually  
leak. If you can pick some of those up instead, it would probably be  
better.
