Anyone use a Venturi?

Finally finish our Eco-Processor. Not really excited about the performance of the Venturi. Used the plans that were online using pieces of Copper. Would like to make something with a little better suction. Anyone know of good plans?

thanks

Saw that one too. How long is it? Might need to bite the bullet and just spend the $50.00.

thanks

it's about 10 inches long and works great. I copied the fuelmiester design for their catylst injection lid for the poly tank. all my tanks are stainless but the design realy is great for the injector lid.

Ya really want to avoid copper coming in contact w/your VO and biodiesel. It accelerates the natural degradation of the oil/fuel. This reaction/degradation is called oxidative polymerization and is currently the biggest 'enemy' of VO and subsequently biodiesel. The biodiesel industry is still struggling to find additives/fuel stabilizers to combat this problem.

might be another reason to get the venturi from B100 supply, I believe it's either plastic or PVC. thanks
