first two days of burning this season. 

messed with the Peristaltic pump i had and found inlet to be clogged with grit.  added a pump screen, will source spare tubing.  its working nice right now.

I got hoses to dump from totes across shop into furnace tank. Cracked into the second tote last week, on top of already having pumped 4-6 barrels.

Has been a chilly winter!

Was quite annoying to have almost a full drum of water out of that batch of barrels.

ya i had some junk last year and i was a bit more picky this year.  finding equipment guys is best.  they can load drums and have lots of it, and clean oil.  i have 3 sources in buffalo that yeild a couple drums every season now.
