Can we only post two photos per posting? I was having trouble adding these two photos to my other two above. Oh well here they are. Yes, it looks like two may be the limit.
To hold that nylon barb in place a short piece of fuel line is pushed onto the barb from inside the air box.
When I first started using this recovery system I would save the recovered fuel in 3 quart glass bottles so I could tell if any water were to settle out. None ever did so now I just pour the one gallon back into the larger tank leaving a few ounces in the bottom of the one gallon just in case. One time being the fool that I am I was running in a very heavy rain (Watching the Poker Run on Lake Lanier) and did see a small amount of water. It looked like mercury the size of a 50cent piece in a one quart jar that was half full of fuel from that days run. In cold weather I do notice more recovered fuel. Likewise more is collected when idling a lot. I have been out running in temps as low as 35°F and notice more collected. I suggest not going smaller than a one gallon tank for collecting as it’s not unusual to get almost a gallon collected per 15 gallon fuel used. Running hard of course collects a lot less as does running in warmer weather.
