Cool!

I'm guessing you're not getting enough of this kind of
thing
at work? You're putting it to a hydro test too, right?

DSK

Probably won't do a hydro, but, I think I will replace the
existing 125
psi relief valve with 50 psi or less. I'm just not
thrilled with the
widow-maker under my bunk. The tank may be safe at 125#,
I'm just
saying. . .

Yours heats from the engine also, right? A word of caution,
the water gets VERY hot. At least mine does, there's no temp
control.

While I have it apart, might as well take care of that problem. Thanks
Scotty and Katy!

Oopsie in the drawing, instead of 2 tees, I'll use a 3-way bypass valve
so 100% of the flow can be diverted around the tank coil. I'll post
pics and details if anyone is interested.

Man, I really screwed up that drawing. Ok, where it says cold, it's
really hot. These lines are the hot engine coolant, not the cold and
hot water lines. The important thing is it will work, just don't trust
me to make the as-builts.
