View Full Version : vacuum pumps with alcohol
I RUN SBC ON ALCOHOL (CARB) AND THE OIL TURNS TO MILK AFTER A FEW RUNS THERE IS ALOT OF WATER IN THE VALVE COVERS. WOULD A VACUUM PUMP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? RIGHT NOW I HAVE -10AN LINES COMING OUT OF MY VALVE COVERS TO PUKE TANKS. THESE DO COLLECT SOME OF THE WATER.

Probably 90% of your problem. It really helped mine.

Yep me to, I bought a star pump. It was the biggest pump I could find. The aerospace didn't seam to cut the mustard.

Star Machine has the best pumps and oil separators. I was getting vapors coming out of the breather of my oil separator until I ordered a separator tank from Star Machine. Its really two tanks in one. Solved all my problems. Here's their web page.
