Smoke system using used propane torch bottle?
If you have 12V power, an in-tank fuel pump from many GM and Ford cars
does a good job pumping 10W oil from a one gallon lawn mower gas tank. The pumps can be obtained for free at a busy auto repair shop. The in-tank units combine a pump and a fuel level sender. When the sender goes bad (common) the shop replaces the entire unit (the sender is not sold separate) and tosses the old one in a box "just in case we ever need a pump". The box fills up pretty quick. On the Canuck I ran a 1/4" line to a splitter block, then 1/8 stainless lines to compression fittings brazed into the exhaust manifold header pipes about 2" outboard of the cylinder head. Excellent smoke quantity. Dan |
