I am setting up a 250 gallon super sucker. I met a guy that used the truck's vaccumm system thus not needing an external vac. I only use the truck to pickup...
A few points: 1. Never run you pump while sucking oil or driving around. Set up an isolation valve between the pump and the tank. You get oil in your pump and...

The vacuum of an engine is between the throttle plate and the intake valves. A diesel does not have a throttle plate, the engine control is by amount of fuel...
Good Day People, In my opinion, this person appears to have been spamming his "Free energy made easy" site here for the last month. Like the diesel secret guy...

Dave, Why did you need to weld the black pipe? I use an in-line, I used yellow tape on the threads, works fine, no leaks, I use the rubber gasket that came...
