[QUOTE="methamon, post: 5521, member: 377"] Post war main oil feed pipe to pump; specifically the (soldered?) joint between the (plated steel?) pipe & brass banjo at the pump connection. Yesterday I tried to separate one of these, propane torch & flux all to no avail. Not hot enough thinks I so oxy acetylene played on it with flux. With the pipe held I twisted and pulled at the banjo.........and the banjo broke off at the spigot leaving the spiggot inside the pipe. Entirely unsuccessfull an an original part ruined. Can anyone explain why the joint would not simply sweat and fall apart with a bit of heat & fux? Also, can they be succcessfully separated; if so how?:mad::confused: [/QUOTE]
