No time for a pic yet. But it's hooked up and hissing away.

By design... when it's full it should just that air vent on top.. and that's it, right?

I'm also brewing the first batch of biodiesel for the year, and can't really sit and listen to the air rush out of the tank. First day back home.. always multi-tasking.

Yes.. 1000 gal. Not that happy at the moment. Appears that one of the small 3/4 fittings has a weld that's weeping. Guy that did it is a professional. Imagine he can come and fix it here in my basement.

I make the bio with a homeade reactor. It's a modified "appleseed" processor made from a scrounged 40gal hot water tank from the dump. I've run at least 3k gallons thru it. I have a venturi mixer. This year's project, tomorrow actually is switching to a dry wash setup.
