* Transfer Pumps -- The majority of transfer pumps are of the diaphragm type that provide a maximum of 8 psi to the main pump. The diaphragm pump is simple in nature and usually trouble-free. However, the check valves may become sticky if the diesel fuel gets too old. Fungus and bacteria can gum up the valves and reduce both flow and pressure. Also, diaphragms can rupture, and fuel can leak into the engine oil. This can be detected during daily service checks. On an engine that consumes oil, oil consumption would appear to stop and the oil level might even rise on the dipstick.

In a report, the panel said it is necessary to leave the gates open for ''''at least a few years'''' and to monitor any subsequent changes to the area''s ecosystem.Since Yatsu earlier pledged to live up to the panel''s recommendations, the gates are likely to remain open for a long period once they are opened.The panel made its recommendations after examining the findings of a ministry research team that gathered and analyzed samples of water and sludge from the area.The 12-day probe, which began March 15, covered water quality, organic materials and nutrient salts such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the sludge and soil inside and outside the 7,050-meter-long dike for the 1,710-hectare reservoir.

Though light in weight, Airbor magnetic drill has a powerful 1.6-hp air motor and 1,600-lb magnetic holding strength. With its extra rack, stroke length is extended to 10 1/4 in. Annular cutter capacity is up to 2 1/16 in. diam. Geared chuck adapter converts the unit to a standard drill press. The Slugger Air Force pneumatic drill, at 24 lbs, 6 1/4" high, is useful for confined area drilling. The drill''s features include a permanent magnet that turns on or off by air power, a cutter capacity of up to 1 1/16" diameter x 3/4" depth and the ability to use ShortSlugger cutters and frame cutters. These cutters'' geometry allows the operator to drill multi-layered truck frames in a single pass.
