Boiler feed/level
« on: December 18, 2012, 11:56:24 am »
Hi All
I am currently building an open launch and intend to fit a boiler feed pump (SVS) and onboard water tank.
My question is at what level should I maintain the water in the boiler, the pump is optical sensor controlled on the sight glass.
Thanks
Mike
