Brazilton KS | We run a Lanair gun. I generally replace it every second or third year. Once I got the oil handling and supply figured out, we really don't have much trouble with it. It's mostly a matter of keeping a steady pressure and keeping the water drained off. We burn every bit of oil we generate, and several neighbors, including the gear oil from several scrapers and tractor and truck axles and finaldrives. Challengers generate quite a bit of 50 wt. 627's and D7s produce a lot of 85W-140. I guess I'm glad I didn't have anyone to explain to me that I couldn't burn it! I read somewhere that it wouldn't burn transmission fluid...but it sure as heck does. Got about 40 gallons of milky UTF ran through it from a couple old tractors the last couple weeks.
Sometimes I "get sick of dinking with it" but then after a while I think about how much LP or diesel we don't burn, and pretty soon that couple hours per year cleaning and adjusting doesn't seem so bad. | |
