RE: [ihc] Pri-G: the debate begins

["Ed Sohm" <idaemes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not just hook up an electric fuel pump at the outlet of the tank and
circulate that way, dumping right back in the fill hole?  Have a
diffuser of some sort on the end of the discharge hose or just keep it
above the level of the fuel in the tank so it splashes in.   Imagine
ending up on next years Darwin awards because you threw a 110 powered
fishtank pump into a tank of gasoline.  It just seems wrong enough to me
that I wouldn't do it.  I don't care what Pri-G's instructions say.  

My 2 cents.  

Ed

an aerator stone?  if i understand correctly how those work, it needs to
be
at the bottom of the tank, with the air line running down to it from the
aerator pump, right?  how are we supposed to get something like that
down
into the tank through the fill-hole cage?  it'd have to be awfully small
to
fit through there, and then there's the extra adventure of getting it
back
out again.

stucking a small-diameter hose down through the cage is do-able.  Ryan
though about using the truck's own air system and a small hose for that
very
purpose.  i thought about buying a fishtank aerator and sticking its
hose
down to the bottom of the tank.  but an aerator stone?  i don't see how
we
can do that one.  would be better than the hose alone, i think.  but not
really possible.
