I'll put some pics together.
As to my feed valve arrangement, it is an experiment.
The Boiler holds 1 Liter. The water tanks are about 200ML each.
So when the water level in the sight glass reaches the bottom 1/3
I close off the by-pass valve, which forces the water over to the
clack valve on the boiler. Then I just let it run. I am still experimenting
with pressure levels vs burner time vs RPM's.
Thanks for reading.
