Oh yeah, well I have a 2001 VW Jetta with 170K miles on it that my wife lets me drive :driver:
at least it's a diesel lol
What ever you do, don't let your wife get the kids started in competitive ice skating.... If she does, let me know, I will take the Deuce off your hands :D
The NAPA mod was one of the first mods I did. I drove the deuce with the stock pipe for a while, but started using it a lot as my farm truck. In all honesty, I miss the sound, but I enjoy taking it down back roads under 45 mph with my ear drums intact. All in all, I am glad I did the mod...
Don't run the drum at any PSI, they were never designed for that, add to that the fact that they are used, have been handeled, dinged around and so on. I know people do it and will say it's fine, but think about the one that will rupture and spill out 55 gallons of oil. Think twice about that...
Barrman makes a good point, if there is oil available and best case free, you need to be able to grab it while you can. ROI - Return on investment is quick, plus it makes the driving experience that much more fun. I ended up driving the deuce a lot more than I expected because of the smile...
It will work for a while, but dm is correct, you will slow to a drip until it stops. Gravity feed systems while in theory are simple and cheap, but the time trade off isn't worth it. You really shouldn't pressurize a 55 gallon drum either.
How were you planning on filling the upper 55 gallon...
Street bike,
Look here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=10929&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=40
There are a few different approaches, stretch uses a heated system, I used a cold processor. Both systems use the dieselcraft.com solution
Hope his helps.

Santa,
Yes, it's a 275 gallon lay down home heating oil tank, you can mount it one of two ways. If you mount it long way in the bed, it makes the valves more accessable. Lessons learned on this one. The gravity drain is not a good option, it just takes way too long. I hook a pump to the...
I third that, I have been runing ~80/20 wmo to gas, and it has been getting cooler. Worse thing I have seen so far is that I had to depress the pedal a bit to get her started, she runs great and loves the 80/20 mix. Before the real cold stuff gets here though, I will go straight diesel. FDC...
I have four 330 gallon tanks that I use to store and process the oil. The deuce gets a 275 gallon steel home heating oil tank that mounts horizontally, low center of gravity, and is used to collect the oil. One the collect the oil, I transfer it to the first holding tank filtered through an...
I was going to register mine in ohio as an antique, but decidedto do a standard registration as I knew I would be using it all the time. It has replacd my F250, I use it for everything.
Don't remember what the registration cost is, but it didnt strike me as eing unreasonable. Cost the same to...
RE: Bad idea for a non-grease monkey to get a deuce
It's more fun if you can get married first so that you can make just the right impression on your new bride when those big tools come rolling into the shop.
I see a lot of possitive feed back here, I wouldn't give my deuce up for anything...
So here is the big question, when you take a deuce through this type of water, I assume it is salt water ??? what do you do the the deuce afterwards. Dump all the oil in the axels? repack hubs ?... Any thoughts. I know these components are vented, but if these were your trucks, what you would...
RE: I must admit I have a problem and may need a 12 step pro
Cut your self off slow man! for god sake, go easy on yourself, and let the healing process begin with just a few trucks a year.
Seeing is I am killing time at the airport waiting to fly to hotlanta... Drive a smaller car to get your deuce, and load it in the back of the deuce and drive em both home...
