is the ferro-silicate (I don't remember the full name) supposed to take care of that white iron (haven't heard that term before)
part looks workable, The tank hanging? waste oil? Thanks for sharing your work!
Goaly, its Ferro Silicon it helps with the machinabililty of the iron, thin sections of Cast Iron are hard to keep from turning out hard unless you work with it a lot, Cast Iron is not different then any other metal it has its own qwirks that you have to learn, its been well over a year since I melted any so its been a fun.
yes the hanging tank is for oil but today it had Diesel in it, I have burned used oil by its self but prefer to mix it with #2 so it flows better, the hanging tank just gives me a little help at the syphon nozzle.
