  • A view of the lower plumbing. I made a couple more modifications before tightening. I moved the temperature gauge "T" to be right at the water heater drain nipple. This way the temperature gauge will always work, whether the oil is circulating or not. I also put an elbow on the methanol hose barb, I thought this might help the methanol drain easier and more completely.
