I've had sometime to work on this again, first I pulled the line to the flame heater and plugged it, at the flame heater filter & at the "T" between the injectors. That kept the return line from filling w/ air when I turned off the power. If I left it for a few hours I would still get a bubble...

I'm quite fond of the clear line, it's really nice to be able to see when air is leaking into the system. Is the stock line just not available?

Hey it freezes out here, it just doesn't rain loads. I've been starting the "Draggin' " w/ ether. I think that the pump is not turned up at all. Elise's 109 starts w/o any help. She does push me up the hills when we are on pavement. Mine only only starts good after the first time, before that...

OK, we borrowed a car and I took Elise back to J-Tree. She had classes that she needed to attend. Now that I'm back on it, w/o the rush deadline, this is what I've found. When the rig is running, after start up, I have return lines full of fuel. As soon as I shut off the engine (shutting off...

what are you doing w/ the box? I'm in Tucs right now troubleshooting our 109 after driving them here on as much dirt as we could find.

I don't understand how I would get air into the lines. If the fuel system is pressured from the tank pump on why would it not leak out instead of in? I have pressure through all the filters, out the draincocks and bleeder. It's not like we haven't used this rig a lot. This summer we did 1500...

The more I think about this the more confused I am. Do you mean the return line to the tank? Or do you mean from the IP back through all the filters? Or just from the IP back to the final? You said "back to the tank so I'd guess not the last option.

I have not tried that. Would have to come up w/ some manner of pressured air . . . my truck maybe, . . . would hate to have to do it by mouth, don't like her truck that much:| We are in Tucson, AridZona right now, and I know that there are some Tucsonans on the forum. Sure would love that...

Okay, drained about 4 1/2 gals from tank (there's not loads in there right now). It seemed clean. It has been thinned by some gas (at the first fuel station we found after it started doing this . . . it was in the 30's those few days) 5 gal, and later w/ some diesel . . . about 8 gal. I let...

There has been no water in anything that I've drained from the cans when I changed filters.

First off let me say that we are traveling and do not have access to many of the things back at Base Camp. We have just recently done over 400 miles, about 275 of it on dirt tracks, and have been collecting and using WMO as fuel. About 30 miles after one of our "fill ups" the 109 started...

Can you tell me where you got it? Is it a NAPA part? . . . some place else?

That's great, I've been wondering where I can get the ether cans for my truck. It already has the ether set-up . . . I just need to get one of the cans. Do you think theirs would fit? . . . or does someone know where I can get an standard issue one?

I've thought about doing that as well. Would it drop the sound by the same amount w/ a second one on? We have one already, and room for a second one above, on the She Beast.

I'm in the process of replacing that right now, I'll rebuild the one I take off as a spare. There is a good set of photos in this thread, post #5 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/62101-fuel-leak-ldt465-1c.html And more info here...

I'll just jump in here :) We are using "fatmat" and then stall, or horse trailer mat.

That's about right ;)

We did that one too. HF had a 45 watt panel kit, charge controller w/ diff volt output ports, and some odds and ends. Same cheap kit I run on my van. Had a frame made so that I could attache the whole thing to the fork mounts for our bikes on the rack. Wired the panels together and into a...

That is true. That would prob do the trick. Will have to see if that's something I can change, and if I ran a longer belt I think I could include the 24V in both belts. That warranty thing . . . you guys are smart . . . I'll have to ask about that :oops:

I'm not going to hijack this thread w/ wheel talk, I'll post that on my other thread. I'm back in the desert and have found the photos that I mentioned earlier. I'll post a write-up here Have heard that we could have a prob w/ the fact that both the 12V & the 24V systems have a common ground...
