Today's log follows. I imagine the mechanical pump would have done the job in several iterations of running, but I don't want to have to go through that every time I drain and fill the system. Fortunately, I left the cores clecoed to the mounting brackets for just such a reason. I'll be welding 1/8" pieces to the top of one tank on each core, and threading it for 1/8 NPT. If I can find a nice petcock locally, I'll use that, otherwise, just a plug for now. 3-14-04 Did a lot of fiddly things to get ready to fill and start the engine. Unfortunately, when trying to fill the water, I couldn't. The EWP wouldn't pump, because it wasn't primed. It can't get primed, because there's no water in the evap cores. There's no water in the evap cores, because I listened to Ed and didn't install fittings in the top to bleed out the air :-) Installation of the bleed fittings is under way. There was also a pinhole leak in one of the EWP flanges. I need to fire my welder. It has now been "JB welded" within an inch of it's life. If it leaks now, I'll just have to throw it away.
