Replacement hose part numbers was not the issue, but a little how-to would have helped. So this is who I did it. When putting on my radiator hoses, I found them all unbelievably difficult. The bottom bent hose I found a replacement for at O'Reilly Auto Parts. It was a MasterPro 20611. It...

Thanks for the photos. That was worth it.

There is so little known about pipeline trucks, I am happy for anyone to post on the topic on this thread. So, AMGeneral, how much are they asking for the pipeline truck that you saw, and what does it have with it? The rigging is the big deal, and few surplus pipeline trucks have the complete...

My premise for 7 years of alternative diesel fuel making, is if it dissolves into gasoline as my thinning agent, and remains there in solution for a week, then it should, and has, burned with no trouble in my 6.2L Chevy diesel engine. I have made DIY diesel fuel blends out of a wide range of...

I have not heard of anyone making biodiesel out of biodegradable hydraulic oil, I find the biodiesel far too much time, trouble and expense so I blend gasoline with waste oils; and biodegradable hydraulic oil should blend just fine with gasoline.

That was my experience using a PA Biodiesel centrifuge. The thing to get about WMO is it is full of dissolved free carbon and ash, which comes from soot. There are only 2 ways to get rid of dissolved solids in a solution. 1) differential solubility, which forces dissolved solids out of...

If you blend gasoline with any waste oil, then the water and radiator fluid will settle right out. When the waste oil is thinned with gasoline, or some other solvent, then it will centrifuge better.

Oil is oil. I have been burning a wide range of waste oils that I thin with a wide range of solvents for 7 years on the same diesel engine. You just have to thin it to .850sp using a hydrometer, then settle out any sediments for at least a week, then filter it down to 1-micron and/or...

I hear some states are down right vicious about alternative fuels. I have been burning waste oil-based fuels on my diesel engine in Arizona for 7 years, and I have my processing equipment attached to my rear bumper, which would be a red-flag if ADOT cared. I have researched the federal laws and...

Gasoline is an excellent anti-gel. It was 12F this morning, when I checked my fuel blend in clear containers, my blending/processing tank, and the deuce fuel tank. The fuel was liquid with no sign of gelling.

I have been running a 6.2L diesel engine on 20%gasoline to 80% WVO for 7 years. I have started it on that blend when the temperatures were at 0F (-18c), with no block heater. It ran fine. Two days ago I started my 6.2L diesel engine on that blend when the temperatures were 20F (-6.7C). It...

After making my own diesel fuel for 7 years, I would not bother with heating any waste oil prior to processing. I find I just add gasoline at 20% to any waste oil. Leave it to settle for at least a week, then pour off the light blend, leaving the thick sediments behind, then filter and/or CF it.

Thanks, all for posting your comments. At first I thought I could just replace the seal, but when I examined the seal on the cap it looked like it was riveted between the metal cap parts. I could be wrong. Anyway the cap was rusted anyway, and I was a bit impatient to get the cap replaced in...

Most of the waste oil based fuel I make is made from WVO, and I thinned it with gasoline, then settled it for a week, then filtered it down to 1-micron with a series of filters. That method worked great for WVO blends. Then, I started experimenting with WMO through the same setup and method...

A few days ago I filled the fuel tank on my M756A2 with my DIY diesel. Today I took it to the gas station to put in a few gallons of gasoline into the fuel tank to keep the vegetable oil liquid with snow coming. When I returned I noticed fuel dripping from the top of my fuel tank. After...

Well, give Jack a try on the shipping costs, because he seemed to think that he could ship the whole bed reasonably. Maybe you could recoup some of your expenses selling your bed and partial stiff-legs to someone else.

This weekend I drove to Tucson to purchase a spare from Jack's Gov'T Surplus. While there I also purchased the spare tire mounting bracket. Here are photos of the restoration. Dimensional specs for anyone wishing to fabricate their own spare tire brackts: Spare tire hoist bracket is...

Today I was at Jack's Gov'T Surplus, in Tucson, AZ. I was looking for a good spare tire mounted on a wheel, which he had, and I wanted the bracket for mounting my spare on the spare tire mount, which he had. While I was searching for the spare tire bracket I ran across a M756A2 bed with...

TM on ratios to use in a fuel max? I would like to see that if you can recall the number or a link.
