Lister 6/1 Genset
Darren:
Now for the other piece to this fitting,
A 10mm SS bar being prepared for threading to 8mm. It's also had the center drilled out to 5.5mm
Two parts threaded together
On the banjo bolt
Piece of hose fitted
Now then a question for the wise ones, I was going to seal the two parts with an 0-ring, but I didn't have a shoulder to compress the o-ring.
So, could SS be soldered? I have a small blow lamp, flux and plumbing solder. Erm, well it's electronics solder to be truthful.
Will it do in this application.
There is no pressure, just gravity fed. That's also why I didn't put any barbs on the fitting to seal the flexible pipe.

Great Darren, but look where it has to be picked up from. It would cost 50 squid in fuel alone.
Also I wouldn't think it would be fair to send SWMBO that far, and have to do such heavy lifting when she got there.
:lol:

I found a snake in my engine :bugeye:
Thankfully not a real one though :lol: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:
While on the fuel system I thought it may be a good idea to open up the fuel filter housing and have a look inside. Give a it a clean out and empty any water that may have got inside during it's long sleep outside.
Amazingly there was no water inside and it was half full of fuel !!
And, it was quite clean too...umm
It's not rusty, just stained a little
The snake, aka fuel filter. All the muck would be on the outside and I couldn't see any....just a little staining....a good sign.
Interestingly the housing is bolted to the barrel casting. Being a hot place this will be great for running on WVO......it gets better all the time :D
The black and red bits inside are just paint...

Answered my own question, tried soldering the two parts tonight, it's a no go, the solder just rolls off the stainless steel.
Oh poo!! :(
