A tyre is an English "tire" but tired is English for working too hard

It's not the nozzle you are not delivering enough fluid, see post#17

Your welcome: I took it out of storage to take those shots. This is a single tube supplied by Tam. (when does he sleep) I would trim a tiny piece of .10 to .012 shim stock and squish the tube around that.
The rest of the things:
18 oz of Dri smoke oil
Pressure by Power max propane gas
4 mm tubing
18 oz took 60 seconds
The picture above is at full throttle. P120
Keep the tube off center

Sorry for the delay in the reply i was out of town for a couple of days....anyways here are the pics of the nozzle I had it trimmed and squished.....Let you guys decide whats wrong with ... i know something is def. wrong as it aint working...... do i need to put it far offf. or do i need to touch the nozzle to the turbine or mix the diesel 50:50 with ATF ?? currently its on 95:5 diesel ATF.

Well is there a substitute for MDW Dri Smoke OIL .. as in chemical ingredient that can be used.

Cheers
azuz

You might try to find 'corvus oil' which is used in the concrete
industry as a form release agent
goes under the name of Texaco "Canopus 13" oil [formerly called Corvus Oil], EXXON Unuius-15, SUNOCO 222 , Corbisol.)

Try it straight or as a mix
Diesel & Concrete Form Release Oil 50:50

That's right Aziz:

If all is failing, then you do have a problem with LACK OF FLUID PRESSURE!!! Pressurise your smoke setup to about 50-6- PSI and run the turbine and see if it helps!!!
Call me at 408-3906054 and I will talk you thru it!!


Again, I find myself agreeing with Mick!!!!
