The only comment the inspectors had was it was the wrong brand beer can. This certainly was a very light separator. This actually worked very well until I found a transparent container so I can now see how much oil has collected. When an amount I deem needs removing I simply suck it out with a turkey baster. -------- Ron Lee Tucson, Arizona Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=357085#357085 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:26:00 PM PST US Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: Re: capacitive probes From: John Marzulli Bumps on the top are better than the chance of leaks from the side...
