I think a lighter helmet used in a truck or MV wouldn't be too bad, you wouldn't have the weight or speed (like NASCAR) to cause the whiplash type injuries. The military has a plethora of stupid and pointless "safety" rules, that just don't work in reality. In Iraq, one of the bases I was on...

I resemble that remark!!!!

That doesn't look familiar to me, but I will say that military gen sets were always underated in their output to me. The 5KW diesels with the Onan engines were available as a 10KW gen set in the civilian world.

I'm pretty CERTAIN that Paramedics DID NOT amputate the leg of that soldier, that is NOT in their scope of practice. I don't see any armor, I can't imagine that it all just came off that easily either.

I don't know of any bottle or hydraulic type jack other than what you'd lift a railroad car that won't fit in the tool box on a deuce. Even a 50 ton jack should fit.

But you still need the proper type bowl, machined and balanced, to separate out the waste.

A clothes dryer motor isn't going to spin at 3000-6000 rpms....

There IS an Deuce forum here, you might want to search that, there may be an answer to your question there already. And check the TM section for free downloads, there may be a TM for your A3.

The bracket that holds the spare was a bad spot for rust on the frame of my deuce. I cleaned it up real good and repainted that spot, and when I remounted the bracket, I used a couple of grade 8 washers to create a space between the frame and bracket so moisture could evaporate.

Gimp, do you have any specs on the motor? That might be the limiting factor on how much bowl it could spin.

Maybe we could have minimum settling time, and a basic minimum filtering requirement. I run all my oil through a 100 micron screen and a magnet before I let it sit. Another "rule" that might be good is that the group is not liable for any Kaboom's that may occur.

Well I'm NOT an engineer, which is why I'm picking all youse smart guys' brain box.:) I might just buy a drum heater from Northern Tool as an option as well. And if there are less guys committed to it, yes we can pare it down. Gimpy's find might be helpful as well. Maybe one of you engineer...

OK, so here's what I've been looking at; http://utahbiodieselsupply.com/centrifugewvo.php If we would get the extreme package with the inline heater and power cone the cost would be around $2,000. You can get it in 120 or 240v, but I'm thinking we'd opt for 120v since not everyone would have...

That sounds like a good idea Gimp. When is Findlay BTW? I have a kid graduating so I have to plan things ahead this year. If anyone is interested in this, please PM me or reply. What I'd be aiming for is no more than $200 investment per person, a commercially made unit for reliability (not...

Westcott, you say time is the best method to filter, but yet you're still running your WMO through filters. I get your point, and I'd like to say I'd take the best of both worlds. I have about 150 gallons of WMO that's been sitting for around a year. I just don't have the truck road worthy so...

Fittings would probably fairly easy, as you can always make adapters to fit whatever set up you already have, and for not much money.

What's the smallest camlock fitting they make? I don't think the lines would have to be that big, probably no bigger that 1/2-3/4" or so, so there's probably a bunch of different ways to go. I haven't gotten that far yet.

I was thinking of something just mounted on a stand or a 3'x3' piece of plywood that could be clamped to a workbench. Most of the units I'm thinking of would be less than 100 lbs, and they could easily fit in the trunk of a car.

That just sounds inherently dangerous to me...:shock:

I'm thinking it would be just the centrifuge unit with maybe an inline heater, that way it would be very easy to transport. People would likely have their own clean and dirty storage containers, we'd just have to all have the same connectors to make connection easy. 120 would also make it...
