2011 MB C300. Only extracted 4.5 qts.of 7.5 qts. Used smallest tube at 100 psi, 60 gal tank. How much should I expect to extract minus oil in filter?

you should be able to extract all of it but a very smaal amount at the bottom of the tank. use a larber tube, and you don't need that much pressure, but it won't hurt to.

I have a filter attached to my compressor, and I either use my hose that I have an oiler attached before the quick release, or if I am using a standard hose, I will put a drop or two of oil into the gun before using.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I was very unhappy with that pump. I warmed up my boat engine for about 15 minutes and let that pump run for about 20 minutes and bearly got a quart out. Used a hand pump and got the rest out in about 5 minutes

Benjamin,I usually fill it up at least half way but usually a bit more (~ 5/8).The website says that filling it up halfway is about 20ml (or about 0.68 oz): http://forever-filter.com/Q_%26_A.html, see the question 'How much carbon do I need?'.Also, I bought a large supply of carbon from here: Marineland PA0371 Black Diamond Activated Carbon, 10-Ounce, 283-GramHope this helps!~ John

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry. This is what we recommend. We generally recommend that on average, you turn over your aquarium volume four times per hour. This means that if you have a 30 gallon tank, you need a pump and filter with flow rates of around 120 gph. so if your tank is 120 gallons then a 480 gph. This is a suggestion of course. We hope that you have found this answer helpful. Thank you, Gabriela

This too, happened with mine. It had about 3 ozs of oil in it. I was told it is the little remainder of the oil & lube they used at the factory to test the Genset. Was it a lot (about the 20 oz they recommend?)

If you take the cap off the low side outlet and tip the comp. you should have oil coming out . I do this with every comp. I buy . Then I ad about 3- 4 ounce's off oil. If your not comfortable doing it that way, you can have someone with a recovery machine vacuum it down and then fill it.

depends on how the oil is temp wise I have noticed warmer faster, also main thing is what tube you can use for the extraction the smaller ones take for ever. the bigger ones about 5/10 for 5qt oil. also you need constant air pressure to this to make it work, theres no charging this and taking it some where with no air supply. YOU NEED SHOP AIR running all times to make it work. This thing sucked to buy kinda high priced, but after a week you for get about the price. This thing works awesome would recommend to buy it. We use it about once every 2 weeks and it is just fun to use. Saves a lot of messy spills from when we just used the turkey baster way.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

The lowest hg(inches of mercury,30 being absolute) I have reached with my pump is 29.8.I use this pump with my vacuum chamber with results better than expected. With regular oil changes,this pump will out live me. Also to be noted is that this pump in particular was recommended to me by a friend that is an hvac specialist. Feel free to ask any other ?'s

I guess I don't understand about the oil. I just add a drop or two through the pressurization valve every time before connecting it to compressor hose. The seals on my unit are just great, so I cannot be of any help.

Hello there! I'm sorry to say (or is it good?) that we haven't had the Filter in that long to have to Clean it yet? I believe, but am not sure, that K&N; have their own type of Oil to Re-oil? Not for sure though? Sorry I couldn't be more help. Really like the Filter though! Seems to really help in the Midrange of the Power-band. Good luck! :0)

I do not remember. I read the directions. It was not long but of course depends on just how dirty your filter is. Follow directions.

from the way I understand it you need 3 or 4X the flow per hour so 3X75=225 and times 4 is still only 300 gallons an hour. so it should be more than enough for filtering your tank. Now if you want more flow just add a powerhead and direct it in tha direction you need.

I am not quite sure. I only used what came with the tank. I do agree that the filter is a little too powerful for this small of a tank. I would just ask that question on google.

I used 1 can(a little over 10 oz.) for the first treatment and 8 oz. per oil change(5 1/2 qt's. oil) after the first oil change. Every oil change gets 8 oz. for the extra Moly it gives the oil.

Depending on your purpose, I run a pre-filter with a 1 micron before my RO unit to grab the most dirt from the tap. Then I have a 5 micron in the RO unit and 2 carbon blocks. After running the pre-filter, my other filters last longer. I use my RO for freshwater aquariums. I have never used anything higher than a 5 micron. Hope this helps.
