does that drain or does it recycle the deisle



[uxwbill]

@yosefwanger It is a constant endless loop system.

[mrRhwalden]

My only question is what do you do with the diesel when it becomes too fouled to use?

[uxwbill]

@mrRhwalden I think that any left over heavy particulates get strained out. Grease and stuff tends to dissolve in the fuel. I don't know if the fuel has ever been changed, but I'm not closely involved with the operation of this unit.

What was the big red vehicle in the inside portion?

[uxwbill]

@Juggla17 Two grain trucks are in there--one is a single rear axle Chevrolet and the other is a Mack straight truck.

You ought to get a video of that red Ford truck out there.
