Finished the manufacturing of the manifold. I cut 3/4 inch from every long side pipes. I replaced 2 small pipe sections that got jumbled up in the come-apart above!
And then, Gpaw on OG came up with a great suggestion to lay the pump on its side so I can get the pump closer to any side where plumbing the pump in before his suggestion was impossible, but that was before I shortened the sections. They had me thinking, though! I decided to use one of the leg sections to mount the pump! This allowed me to get another full section without messing with the spray nozzle pattern (the pattern is a bit askew as mentioned previous).
Then I had to remove my first failed seal. Then I had to remove my second failed attempt to repair the previous failed seal!
The manifold is done. I had to remake one of the long pipes...the spacing wasn't right. I suspect I didn't get the correct pipe back in the right place in the "jumble" !
Tank is cleaned inside and out. I just removed the last remnants of 12(?) year old packing tape (man, that stuff stuck good! ). And, again, Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover to the rescue! I tried a couple of different methods that didn't work. Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover soaked for a few minutes and a fresh razor blade got the job done. Also, the razor blade turned out to be the best way to remove the residue of the liquids from the cloner that leaked out and ran down the sides of it. That residue is the reason for the seal upgrade. I had to use a 2 gallon bucket (It was handy, didn't use it for size. And a cheapo brand ground Espresso can to catch the leaks). I still have to take care of on the top - liquid residue and some remnant glue.
The above is in preparation of manufacturing a proper seal so the tank doesn't leak any more. A proper seal until I discover it has failed too, and in the tradition of Lean (Continuous Improvement) I have to try something else!
IF anyone is interested in precision hole processing I'm going to attempt it with what I have on hand. Consider also, this is Stainless Steel which presents a challenge in its own right.
As part of the preparation I have to calculate the proper compression of the Bulb Seal. IF it's not compressed enough it won't seal. IF it's compressed too much it will push the lid up and not seal...
Another does of Rocket Fuel and it's Full Steam Ahead!

Damned Interruptions!!!
My damned neighbor just interrupted me! They upset my flow, man!!!
Oh, they came bearing gifts!... Never mind!
We chatted for a bit. They said they got some Turkey recently and I asked if I was getting free Turkey too!
I asked them what a couple of trees were right next to where we were talking.
Not our trees. Ours aren't in full bloom yet. Maybe another day or two.
I knew they were Red something but I couldn't remember the rest of the name. They're Redbud (Cercis Canadensis) (understory trees). Although they don't look Red to me. I think they look more Lavender than Red. They are describes as being Magenta. I guess I was closer than calling them Red!
They told me they had tried to grow some but couldn't get them to root. I told them I'd try and get him some rooted cuttings. I did not explain to him how

Hello friend!dill786 wrote:beautiful tree and colour..
They are and do indeed!
IF I can successfully propagate some (they asked for 2, I told them 4 (double the odds ) - I 'might' make more) I'll give them around. I've read that there is a high failure rate when trying to root them out.
Btw, Dill...I really like your quotes thread. Nice!
Thank you, brother!

I only got this far. Texting with neighbor, SIL and placing a large order (in more ways than 1 ) to include extensive discussion regarding expert guidance!
Weapons used ...
That dark part in the foreground is this...
A broken indicator mount. It's broken but it is precise in its remaining dimensions. Exactly 1/2 (.500), the calculated compressed dimension of the bulb seal from its starting height of .649. Which I verified with the dial calipers. Dead on. IF it fails it's in my calculations
Then I was going to cut my aluminum angle at 45° to show it can be done precisely by hand - but I opted for a butt-joint instead. I think that will provide a better seal. I'm not showing off! Again, IF it fails it's in my calculations
I cut the long sides first. I've got the 2 long sides in place, then I measured the short sides (they vary by 1/32 inch). I'm cutting them close to final dimension and filing them down to finish dimension for a tight fit - then I use the deburring knife tool (a Triangular type) pictured to deburr the cut ends.
BUT, It's Spaghetti Sunday. I had Spaghetti Sunday Tuesday (it may have been Spaghetti Sunday Wednesday) last week. Not today. I haven't had a meal since then. I'm HUNGRY!
I'll try and get back to the task when I'm sated!

Are these buckets flooding and draining or just recirculating..?

Flood and drain - leaving about an 1 inch of liquid in the bottom of the buckets.
