Water is not fuel

The last few days the veggiegen has been offline again. This time it was repercussions from the coolant leak in the veggie barrel. We have N-60 injectors on the Detroit, and they have cylindrical screens in the injector head as a final filtration point. They were clogged with a creamy white coolant/water/veggie gel. I removed the screens and put the injectors lines back on. We borrowed a submersible electric grid heater from the Martin's down the road, and plugged it into our portable gas generator to heat the veggie barrel, then ran the electric primer pump until the engine was flushed with clean hot veggie. Two quick shots of ether while cranking with our new 850 CCA battery and off she went, no more problems, at least not today .....

We were also given a good used alternator to replace the 6 amp trickle charger we have been using to maintain the starting battery, but that's a project for tomorrow, as the mounting bolts are a different size.
