I hope, there’s a lot! We need time to found out, what is the thing that we could replace oil, then we could use these things as water pumps in waterless areas…

I never understand …
I never understand comments like this. Model T’s, a car, left in a field for 60 years are little more than a corroded frame rail & engine block. THAT is a fair comparison with a modern car. Comparing a massive mainly cast iron piece of static machinery with a car mainly made from 0.8mm sheet, plastic & fibre is not really useful. Bit like saying your are made badly & are dust within 90 years, look at a house it will last 300 years. Different things!

It goes to show new stuff is crap! That thing just started up like it wasnt even abandoned for years, I’d like to see someone try that with a modern BMW 60 years from now.

Great video. Brings back lots of good memories when I used to go with my Dad while making his leases and starting up engines, even the old central power systems.

What r chemical injections for?

not “chemical …
not “chemical injection fees”…. it’s chemical injection costs. We do our own chemical injections. It is a must for chemical injections in this area, unless you want increased workover jobs.
