Pushbutton The control unit went bad on one of mine and I replaced it with two pushbuttons, one for water and one for the grinder/flush. Was able to vary at will for each use and it is more durable.

According to the UK supplier page, the inside diameter of the o-rings is 114 mm but I do not know the diameter. Would prefer to have the parts on hand prior to taking things apart so I can use the vessel.

I am having trouble locating a parts supplier in the USA for Bowman heat exchangers. I have Bowman FH 420 exchangers and want to undertake the annual service of removing the end caps and cleaning it out. For this, I need the o-rings. Lots of suppliers online from the UK but that will take time...

I checked engine numbers I am not limber enough to fit on the outboard side of the port engine, but the starboard engine block has the following cast in PB T4 703F 6015BA and the Ford logo the port head has a stamp83F 6090GAB and the block has a stainless tag that says REF 3190 Type...

Dumb question. How can I tell the difference between the 120 and 135? My two six-cylinder engines are painted blue and have chrome valve covers. There are no serial numbers on either engine. The serial number tags are gone. The expansion tank is a replacement aftermarket. One weird thing is that...

prefilling secondary filter One of the posters mentioned prefilling the secondary filters, presumably with diesel. If the diesel you use to prefill is not completely devoid of any particles that should be filtered, you risk damaging your injection system and/or engine. If you look at the...

Is this luxury tax affecting anyone? applies to sales where a broker is involved, not private party.

I thought I would start a new thread with respect to materials supplies for those of you who do your own canvas work or interior furnishings. I am talking about foam and I am talking about fabric, and also equipment, pretty much. Just want to share my own experience. I started out with the...

If you use one pump for more than one AC unit, you will need to have a relay box for each pump. Otherwise, when one unit inputs power to the pump, that current is fed back to the other AC units. It is not hard to build a sea chest or at minimum order a poly tank with the fittings you need built...

Aerogel off EBay. On the FRP, its not just sealing, you want it to be a strong joint. putting a few layers of tape on the outside corner will do that.

I made my own with a sheet of plywood to fit inside a 5-gallon bucket, a Holley diesel fuel pump from Autozone, a leftover small Racor filter I had laying around, and some clear PVC tubing. I mounted everything to the plywood and the bucket is to catch any spills. You don't need a high-flow...

I like the March pumps on Defender.com

Last one I made, I used aerogel for the insulation. Expensive but much higher R value and does not absorb water. I used sheet fiberglass from the local hardware store (Shell Lumber in Miami) to make the box. eplastics.com has them also. or, if you want to save money, buy a big sheet of window...

I love this head model with one caveat. When I was installing them, out of carelessness I fried the control board (with the membrane push buttons for fill, flush, etc.) on one of them. I installed in its place two marine quality momentary switches, one for water input one for the macerator...

If you eliminate the corrosion issues, then you can put a resistor of the proper value in line. First, with a mechanical gauge of known accuracy, note the pressure displayed for a number of points of RPM. Then wire in a variable resistor and adjust it until the pressure displayed lines up most...
