I'd say 20 s.w.g. - maybe 18 gauge with a struggle.

Sounds like a good idea, policedog4030, but I have no intention of selling plans for it, although you are welcome to if you like.

Very kind of you, I noticed the 267,000 views and thought even if just 10% bought your pdf plan download file it might be worth your while. The "Make once, Sell Many" principle; a win win for both buyer and seller even if you sold them for a dollar or three or thirty - still a deal for someone who wants to make the project.@@confabrication

Thanks for advice.

I have half a dozen plectrums here for you, Andrew !

Thanks Brian.😀@@confabrication

Thanks again, Andrew

Thanks again, Andrew - flattery as usual. I see you commented on the extension lead.

all your comments are praise. 😀

It's not a hydraulic cylinder, George, but a compressed air one and as it states at 0:10 at the start of the video , it was salvaged from an old carpet machine I broke up years ago, so I can't help you I'm afraid.

The tube would have to be pretty thin wall to pass through the hole in the wheel and over the stud. An alternative would be to build one of these:- ruclips.net/video/EVOp_kyq3Mk/видео.html&ab_channel=BrianDavison which I made some time ago for my Land Rover.

Thanks, John R

I love this old car and do indeed enjoy it - well spotted !

​@@confabrication Yeah, me too. I have a C5 A6 and a A4 B5. There is not much in new cars you get outside all the self driving tech and EVs of course. I want to put a Nissan Leaf drivetrain in one of them!

Yes, of course, transdimensionalist - that is a very viable alternative especially as the accuracy required in not great.

The water pump was not changed because it was in perfect condition and was still o.k. several years later so it would have just been money wasted.

@@confabrication it’s hard to tell really. It might look good now but I’m 3 years time ? If the pump starts leaking you’ve got to do the job again and pumps are cheap. I’m not knocking the idea it seems to make sense but I always change the pump. If that pump siezed up it will strip the belt and wreck the engine.

I'm fully aware of what you say about a wrecked engine, etc., but I gambled and won in this instance. Q.E.D.

@@confabrication good

Thanks for the reply, Zach.

Sorry, I just made it up as I went along. You could work most of it out from the video itself

Thanks for comment Franco. He was indeed very happy as we got on great together. Still sorely missed and totally irreplaceable.

Not from me, unfortunately, but there are suppliers of various designs on the market - In the USA in the U.K. anyway. For example :- ruclips.net/video/z6AF7WNPLdU/видео.html&ab_channel=RidgieProductions

I'm inclined to doubt it would do this, Ann Maria, not having had the need to try it. I just let my containers of waste engine oil sit for a day or two whereupon the water settles to the bottom and can be avoided.

@@confabrication hi, but considering the concept, because a centrifuge should be able to do this; if attempted it can be possible right? I'm currently developing my school project, and I want it to be simple, therefore I wanted to use your idea of making a centrifuge. So it should work right; to separate the water from the oil? correct? or is it not realistic?

I've never has the need to try to separate oil from water and thus I cannot say if something like this might work, although I'd be very interested to know if someone like your selves could achieve this. Sorry I can't be of help to you. (p.s:- I have copied and pasted this reply into your other similar request in case you miss it)

Thanks, but see ool jahool's and others below recommending funnels (as if I didn't consider that !)

That's for great comments, John. No further research undertaken - the oil is clean enough for my purposes.

@@confabrication I was going to start out by saying I am a chemical engineer but I do not think it matters because most people do not think out o the box.I have had good experiences when heating with sawdust and waste motor oil/transmission fluid. Just use a high cam fan to keep it burning very hot and the ash and clinkers that form seem to self digest. This in a total waste system. I used to make biodiesel and the centrifugal filtration system was excellent for stale or old and I mean very old diesel. I built a centrifuge and put the fuel through it until I had what I was going to use in few days in my truck. Then I would treat the fuel with stability diesel treatment and it truly brought it back to a fresh state. That is why I was akimbo. Because I was wedding if ylluhad any experience with this.

@@Biokemist-o3k I haven't tried using the waste oil /diesel mix in my diesel car - don't want to risk messing up the injector pump

@@confabrication I never had any problems with the mechanical pumps. I would always be Leary of those finicky high tech things. Better be safe then sorry. I am going to use the sawdust /waste motor oil(after centrifugation) to make pressed logs for the coming bleakness. Thank you for getting back to mr.

@@Biokemist-o3k Unfortunately by car, being a VW of 2005 has one of those 'finicky high tech things', so will not be trying waste oil mixture out on it !

Sorry, I didn't make any plans - just went along with what I had lying around

I think it was about 2 1/2 inches long

Thanks for favourable comment, Jeff.

That's interesting, John. I contemplated doing that at the time but bottled out as I was uncertain how it would go and just manually rotated the engine and used the grinder instead. I'll definitely try the knife method next time.

@@confabrication got to have strong grip

If your pillar drill has a big enough table to accommodate two vices, you're good to go !

No, Fabian, it would not work for glycerine and vegetable oil separation. Only used for removing dirt particles from engine oil

Glad you liked this trolley, Martin. Definitely worth making.

indeed !

Yes, Bill, It used to nearly kill me doing this and that's why I just HAD to make this one !

I use 2 six foot planks when rolling a drum onto my low trailer but there's no way I could do this singlehandedly with the height of the Land Rover

Thanks for kind reply, Renee. Gone 3 1/2 years and I still think about him nearly every day - a great loss.
