I agree, when I was at the hardware store to get the tube I was going to get hose clamps, but I forgot.. I remebered as I walked in my door..lol. I will replace them with it soon.. I would also like to put a little tap on the hot oil side seeing as its right by my bed so I can get some hot oil to rub my lady down with from time to time..lol.. just playing.
I was just thinking, pure water (not tap) doesnt conduct electricity. Would that work?
well, these pumps just arent cutting it, I have 2 pumps cranked up, should be pumping 119 gallons / hour, but looking at it, its only pumping like 10 at the most.. so needless to say its not efficent at the moment.. so I looked into some bigger pumps, at first I was going to go with 500 gallons per hour, but then I got to thinking, I dont want the same thin to happen again, so I got this:

its 1/2hp.. I will put some downsized piping on it so I can use the lines I have, then I will put a dimmer switch in the line so I can control the flow..I will put the pump in a diffrent room so I dont hear it.. might be a little overkill but I went for it!
Yeah that's a bit overkill but pretty cool at the same time. 10 GPH isnt' enough? How many gallons of oil do you have? What are your temps like? Also you don't mean dimmer switch. You want a rheostat. Dimmer switches are either on or off. If I were you, I would have bought an electric oil pump for a car.
yea.. I dono.. Im going to just have to wait until it gets here and see what I got to work with.. if not, I got a nice little pump for when my basement fluds.. the price was right..
rheostat and dimmer switch are the same thing.. Defination of rheostat "adjustable resistor used in applications that require the adjustment of current or the varying of resistance in an electric circuit. The rheostat can adjust generator characteristics, dim lights, and start or control the speed of motors. Its resistance element can be a metal wire or ribbon, carbon, or a conducting liquid, depending on the application."
well ATM (hehe, at the moment) its not good, 45+, because I dont have a powerful enuff pump to move the oil threw the radiator.. I ordered one thatas 1/2HP that will be here any day, i will post then the temps.. just dunking in oil has absolutly ZERO advantage, you need to cool the oil..
