--===============0108957890== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-15-75033116 --Apple-Mail-15-75033116 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed We repaired the water heater by bypassing a broken thermostat. Yesterday, we had a pump burn out on the wash tote. Bill Dodds replaced it with the one slated for the second wash tote. We need to get the burned out pump replaced by taking it back to Harbor Freight. Anyone willing to take it back, let me know. In the future, use the valve on the inlet side of the pump to throttle flow, NOT the valve on the outlet side. It is possible that the pump was working too hard against the back valve and burned out that way. I'm not sure, though. It looks like we have another batch (Batch 11, 175 gallons) washed and ready to dry. Thanks to all the hard work of everyone this week who came down and washed (and dried). We are completing an updated mixmaster batch worksheet. You can use it as a reference while on site for what steps to follow. It will make washing and drying batches a lot easier. Reminder that there is a coop meeting next Tuesday: General meeting at 6:30 Operations meeting at 7:00 Board meeting at 7:45 Located at 3377 SE Division, on the north side of the street in Brian's offices. If you have concerns/questions/input for our current process, email them to me and I'll add them to my list, or better yet, come yourself. I will also, time permitting, be giving an update of my trip to the Collective Biodiesel Conference in Golden, CO last month. -------------------------------------------------------------- Zac Imboden [email protected] 6355 North Burrage Ave Portland, OR 97217 971-563-2477 --Apple-Mail-15-75033116 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII <HTML><BODY style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; = -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">We repaired the water heater by = bypassing a broken thermostat.<DIV>Yesterday, we had a pump burn out on = the wash tote.
