My welds around the niple are fucken hard as fuck its ugly but i hope it holds up yes i purged it.. Hope you guys like it sits in ice water and dry ice on the top long path for a roto vap its cold trap is a fosil it takes dry ice and it gets past the glass hopefully this works for the guy so he can up grade already some people just nickle and dime situations im notlike that ill spend everthing to find out... Well almost theirView attachment 4359894 View attachment 4359895paper towels are for cleaning steel with acetone ow dont clean you welding helmet with acetone i fucked up my lenses it melts the plastic lense fuck me!!!

In layman's terms?

USA, red pump = petrol (we call it gasoline)

Except for BP gas stations, at least around here. The gas nozzles are green, the diesel are black. I bitched at them a few times about how it doesn't follow industry standards and they just claim its corporate policy, so I don't give them my money anymore. At least once a month I see a car getting towed from there, and because it happens so often, I assume someone grabbed the wrong handle.

Why can't you drive your kids around in a cool modded car? My parents had a 1970 Vista Cruiser wagon with a built 455 that was lowered in the front with air shocks in the rear to jack it up, the style back then, and had rally wheels from a 442 on it. I was only 3 and I'll never forget when my father would open it up on a big straight, and as a kid I literally had my breath taken away for a moment as I was pushed into the seat from the torque. You're not gonna do that in a stock 2008 toyota corolla.

Mid size, 4 door toyota or Honda. Lower it no more then 2 inches, get some nice 17/18"rims, put a exhaust on it if you want a rumble, don't do an intake they almost never add power in modern cars, tint the windows. Enjoy your clean, custom, dependable car.

Here it's impossible to put diesel in a regular gas car. The diesel nozzle is a lot bigger than the regular gas tank opening That has saved me from putting the wrong gas in at least once.

 

[BarnBuster]

So it was less than 3 galons cus its 3.29 per gallon. I put 9.12 dollars in. So question is how much did I put in it and will it make my car sick?

do not start up or drive, period

Although I have worked for myself in many guises, I have today for the first time registered a company and applied for a business account.
I have to jump through hoops to get that import licence, but I don't care I have more time than they in my day. I hope to be in production any day now.

Actually doing things the formal ways will allow me to get needed gear like PAR meters etc and write them off against my tax. I intend getting this show on the road without making a cent's worth of debt.

A gasoline powered car won't run on diesel, it just won't burn. The gas and diesel will separate in the tank and once the pump starts sucking diesel the car will stall, then you will need to flush the whole fuel system. You need to drain the tank before you start it, the FILL it with gas a few times. The car might run crappy for a few tanks as it could still pull residual diesel. And don't let the diesel sit more than a couple days in the tank, it could start deteriorating seals that weren't meant for it.

Shame they stopped developing the turbines. THOSE woulda run on Diesel.

Fuck, no, I am off the clock now apart for some online consults that will inevitably start pinging my inbox through the evening.
I am really proud of myself for getting this far, I have been procrastinating for months.

When it's your business you're never off the clock That's what I hated about software consulting.

Well by breaking your streak and actually doing something, the Secretary regrets to inform you that you've been disqualified for membership in Procrastinators International.

Tig or mig?
Looks like mig to me .

Did you pressure test it ?

 

[raratt]

Happy 4th everyone. I plan on cutting down my strawberry cheesecake plant today to celebrate. Burgers on the Q for dinner. For those of you who can get "real" fireworks be careful, fingers are useful.

 

[cannabineer]

That depends on how many spa corners you have to replace (with rebar), kill me now.

I was wondering about the pressure test as well. I can arc and mig well enough, and I'd jump on a tig without issue, but I wouldn't weld that my first time, especially if it's running flammable solvents. And if it's Co2, the pressures could be in the thousands of PSI. One poor section of weld turns the whole system into a explosion hazard in both cases.
