--===============0812914962== Content-Type: text/html; format=flowed <html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE> <P>Felix, My posting as you read it, is just my theory of how things ought to be. I was asked by Brian to put it togather and write it down on paper, or at least that's what I thought I was doing. I think the bucket altitude thing is mostly for ease of cleaning totes and access to the valves fixed to the totes. </P> <P> I for one don't enjoy bending over and getting on my knees to turn stuck valves etc. As I remember, you had much more altitude than I, <IMG height=19 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/i.p.emsmile.gif" width=19> so am sure you will appreciate having the valves where you can get to them a little easier, when you take your turn washing and drying fuel .</P> <P>I agree that this is a group project and all plans should be OK'ed by all memberership concerned equally. I was not privey to the site plan in existance previously and Im not trying to design from scratch, however for those who are to be doing the washing and drying I have advised some Ideas that <U>might</U> make their lives a little simpler, easier and safer. </P> <P>The scientific process dictates that something stands until it is superseeded by new knowledge. I believe we have worked long enough with the plant as is, to see that their are things that need to be changed at the site to better streamline the process. Unless everyone is happy with the current output, I would suggests that some changes be made. I have tabled my suggestions. Perhaps this is a place to start a discussion on rethinking the plant?</P> <P> I try to leave my ego at home when I show up for work. Im not sure ego, is what works for a cooporative venture. I enjoy it when we all work togather for the good of the cooperative. I appreciate that some have done a lot more than I have, some less. I does what I can's, when I can's. Thank you all for your great efforts. I will continue to assist in washing and drying on Wednesdays and help wherever and whenever I can. We agree on much more than we disagree on. Thank you for your comment. </P> <P>That's my story an Im stickin to it, <IMG height=19 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/i.p.emsmile.gif" width=19> Bill Dodds</P> <P>PS: some of the process I stole from Zac<BR><BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #a0c6e5 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif"> <HR color=#a0c6e5 SIZE=1> <DIV></DIV>From: <I>mixmasters-request-qjLDD68F18PzqnJmKJVjZEEOCMrvLtNR@public.gmane.org</I><BR>Reply-To: <I>[email protected]</I><BR>To: <I>[email protected]</I><BR>Subject: <I>mixmasters Digest, Vol 41, Issue 16</I><BR>Date: <I>Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:27:36 -0700 (PDT)</I><BR>>Send mixmasters mailing list submissions to<BR>> [email protected]<BR>><BR>>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<BR>> http://lists.gobiodiesel.org/mailman/listinfo/mixmasters<BR>>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<BR>> mixmasters-request-qjLDD68F18PzqnJmKJVjZEEOCMrvLtNR@public.gmane.org<BR>><BR>>You can reach the person managing the list at<BR>> mixmasters-owner-qjLDD68F18PzqnJmKJVjZEEOCMrvLtNR@public.gmane.org<BR>><BR>>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<BR>>than "Re: Contents of mixmasters digest..."<BR>><BR>><BR>>Today's Topics:<BR>><BR>> 1.

The long view is that nothing has hoses and<BR>>is all hard piped - making it much safer and and simpler and spill<BR>>resistant.
