    No AC on my car. So they are pretty useless as vents go. Summer time the windows are open. and I'm winter heats on the floor as we all know.

    Mel would kill me if I deleted the center vents lol. She's already been getting onto me that there isn't enough air coming through them on Green Car. Just out of curiosity, whats the reason behind not wanting center vents? I find they help out a good bit with bringing fresh air (and AC if you have it) through the vehicle? Is it a "racecar" thing? Like on CL when someone lists a car for sale and says "NO AC or seats or dash because, RACECAR".

    I was thinking that the entire center bezel had been wrapped to cover the vents, instead of plates being added in their place.

    cleaned up the fuse block and tinned the connections with solder and added actual fuses instead of the fusable links.

    Filled her up with premium and added a bottle of seafoam for treating me good

    Centrifuge not complete, need to have an inner wall welded in to create the catch basin for the bowl.

    Currently using a nested set of sock filters 100, 10, and 1 um and gravity filter WVO cold. Then blend it with diesel/kerosen/gasoline depending the temp. In the summer run about 1/3 diesel and 2/3 WVO. Runs well.
    Setting up the next diesel with a heat exchanger to pre-heat it before it hits the IP. Your 7.3L is likely more finicky than my 6.2L.
    Waiting to get the centrifuge up before using WMO.
    Should with low flow rate, 2-3 gal an hour, remove particles down to < 0.1 um.
