There should be a sight glass on the end of it, should be 3/4" up in the glass I believe, there should be a line to indicate… I can't remember if it is the SP11 or SP22 that takes a quart of oil.

Yes. That advice is 100% percent right. If you don't have a sightglass on the outside of your tank then that's a different story. Let us know if that's the case and we can walk you through that
Leader 3x8 Patriot raised flue
800 taps on vacuum
100 buckets around the yard
A lot of help to make it fun
On the other hand, how much oil should a SP-22 take? It does have the site glass but when I drained it today I got over half a gallon and there is black grease like stuff in the bottom???? Any info about SP-22's and this?

the black grease like stuff is likely dirt that got in and the oil was not changed often enough. The dirt settled out. Clean that sludge and then put in fresh vacuum oil, until the sight glass shows it at mid point or a little above. Add slowly, because it needs to have time to flow to the glass tube. I added too fast one time and got it to just above half, then the level kept rising in the sight glass and it ended up over filled.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
How do you clean this dirt out??? I'd imagine I don't want to use water as it will never dry out

Sight glass is cloudy with age. I know sp-22 takes just over 2 quarts. I was hoping someone noticed how much a sp-11 took
