I did the same with my compressor. Not the smallest 25L one, but a 50L one when a 150L probably wouldn't have been that much more. Still, I was only buying it for a single job.I bought a wee one and have kicked myself many times for that decision.
Might do without the basket in and a bit more fluid.Would a 6L fit them in vertically, two at a time and two sticking out?
Running without the basket certainly destroyed mine. Not just the transducer, half the circuit board was toast.Running without the basket can destroy the transducers, or so I understand.
That very well could be. Transducers are usually attached to the underside of a tank, and I would think that forcing the transducers to hammer away at the extra mass of metal parts lying on the bottom of a tank at 35,000Hz might overload the circuitry or overstress the transducers. It's probably not good for the tank itself either, since I imagine that the typical stainless steel cleaner tank can't be terrifically thick if the transducers are to work their magic efficiently. The manual for my 6.3-quart (6L) ultrasonic cleaner says to always use the basket when cleaning articles to protect the stainless steel tank.Running without the basket can destroy the transducers, or so I understand.
What are the approximate dimensions of the carb? There are a variety of 6L tank configurations. Mine is more horizontally oriented/orientated than some I've seen. I can check the basket size when I have a moment.Needs to fit a cbr600 bike carburettor without seperating the 4 pots.
