I am just now getting caught up on where things are at. Message to the others on this Mixmaster list: can anyone else help George, Zan, Kevin out in getting some more washing and site tasks done?.. We really could use your help. Use the GoBioD website to see when people who are familar with what is needed to be done will be down on site. http://www.gobiodiesel.org/index.php?title=Mixmaster_calendar Or, feel free to contact me direct, note though, sometimes I am away from my e-mail account for several days at a time, so be patient.

Thanks for the suggestion. George Zan, This is my carma entry: re-piped wash pump/3 unions & 4 nipples purchased PVC(3.5) secured pump to wash tank & checked fitting tightness & ran another wash cycle (1.5) A long afternoon and now it looks good. Please check pump as it seems to run warm. See you next week, I hope.

I do not have time to do PVC re-piping on Monday on the wash tank as it is currently piped because the system must be running for planned activities Tue PM. If Felix can bring the supplies we need and help do the work, that could work. Otherwise, I will use plastic camlock.

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. On Jun 23, 2007, at 8:56 PM, George M. Peters wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: George M.
