What if it Snows?

Friend in Tampa 2 hours ago (12 CST) said it appeared to be getting in at Ft Myers and going to pass Tampa partially the east. He is expecting to be on the backside of it as it goes by. I will talk to at 3 (CST) and advise if true.

 

Whuffo the twin flanges and the jam nuts. You connecting something pipe/hose with a mating gasket face?

 

@Cattleman84 think he is talking to you

 

I am sure it is still there some of my weld showed it just way out of practice. Now bicycle ride daily or was and motorcycle ride weekly so good there lol

 

Your welds look awesome!

Mine look like they were done by an armless, blind man.

 

They are bungs for large poly tanks... The top flange with bolts is welded, the bottom flange is bolted to the other to help control heat distortion... The nuts are just spacers.

The pipe and bolts will go through holes in the tank from the inside to the outside. The second flange will go over the pipe and bolts from the outside. A gasket is sandwiched between welded flange and inside of tank, nuts tighten the whole assembly to create a seal. Then a valve can be attached to to the pipe on the outside of the tank.

 

If you guys were buying new Stars, tri drives, would you get a DD15 or DD16, both are 1850 torque, but the 15 is 505 hp, and 16 is 565.
Which is better durability?
Fuel economy much different?

I was leaning towards the 15, but the dealer is pushing me to 16.

 

I'm not really a trucker, I just play one on the Net. But more HP is always a good thing.

15 is common. Easier parts, I would guess. Your going to pay more for the warranty since it's a higher HP engine.
