[SEL] FW: Lister D model 26HD

[William Minehane]

> 
> I have recently bought a Lister D model 26DH with the  original galv water
> tank. I have printed out the drawings of this engine and  notice the the
> bottom water inlet is level with the outlet of the tank and  that the top
> connection is at a specified angle ­ the distance from the centre  of the
> engine to the centre of the tank is 350mm. The actual height of the  tank is
> 850mm high so the top of the tank and the top connection is much  higher than
> the engine height
> 
> All this I can follow as I am now making  a transporter for the engine and
> tank so that I can take this engine along  with others to ³meetings². What I
> cannot follow is how does the water flow  back into the tank as all Listers
> have a specified ³height of water in the  engine²  and as this is much lower
> than the top connection then I feel  that the engine would have to get very
> hot before ³steam¹ flows  back.

> The engine is a 1940 year of manufacture and the water tank is the original
> galv water tank.

> Maybe I am missing something so would appreciate ³help² -
