Reverse Flush

**Steve** · 29th June 2006, 00:50

It is early here and I'm yet to have a coffee.

Can one do a reverse flush on all units?

I've seen the way you calibrate....now I REALLY worry about you doing this!

Hi Steve,

At least it works on the Meg!!! But it's such a beautiful unit that no other can compete with...

Cheers

Is this like finning backwards, and presumably as useful?

Where you extract gas out of the water, suck it through the OPV into the loop, then force it back into the cylinders via the injection buttons?

Didn't some Isreali boffin do that?

I don't think he meant to...

Anything but gas from tanks getting into your loop isn't called a reverse flush, Steve, it's a flood.

Assembled your rig backwards, didn't you?
