Blasting is hardly in the brain surgury relm. May try the Kleen Strip mentioned, if it's sold at Home Depot it has to be pretty benign stuff. JDToumanian How long does the Kleen Strip take to work? Your paint is not particularily think/multi coats. Single application of stripper work thru...

Yes very nice tanks and a good supply available. 2500gal is heck of a load to slap on any 5t. Certainly over GVWR.

My thought that a blasting media ______ is best method. Chem strippers supposedly don't exist (except perhaps dip) that will work on CARC. Chassis is a 1991 Ford F900 w/ Marmon 6x6. Surplus from US Navy Coastal boat squadron. http://www.stanleyiowa.com

A 2500 gal HEMMT refueler tank paint CARC. Need to strip to bare Stainless. This is becoming a Fire Dept water tanker so will not be repainted (if works out). Idea is to clean up and shine it up. Any bright ideas on the best way to complete? I have a local "volunteer" available who as about...

The "flavor" of electicity the power company runs down the distribution lines is 3ph. You get single phase by tapping one side (between 2 legs of the 3 available. So yes you can get single ph off any of the 3ph gensets. All also have a 15amp convience outlet on the panel. The smaller units...

DRMO closed about 2/3 of the yards last year to "save money". As a result they are trucking surplus equipment all over to drop off at the yards that remain. Typical fed gov't efficency improvement. Reduce headcount, exploding transportation expenditure. So you end up with boats in the...

Air Farce?

Real pain in the butt. Really useful to google on an NSN and have a Govliq auction come up. Very helpful in figuring out what an item/vehicle is.

Most of the flat 4 pigtail kits I've purchased have splice connectors in the kit (blue plastic snap over an existing wire/stick a new wire in the 3rd "hole"/pinch with pliers and snap the "cover" shut. Use these connectors on the appropriate 3 wires in the mil spec wiring/connector box and hook...

Actually, since 9/11 DHS grant $ have puchased boat loads of NODS (and civ MPO gear, auto weapons, high tech commo equipment). CEDAP program gives the stuff out (no local $ required). The stuff that goes in the trunk of a squad car, at best but more likely in a storage locker somewhere. The...

If tires are for a FD your State Forester can req. tire thru FEPP. If you can get them off butt. Just give them the NSN and tell them to get you 15-20 tires (assume some may be bad). I'm sure can find a home for any leftovers. However I'd reccommend changing over to some modern tires...

I pull a M105 w/powerplant (2x 5kw genset) with a C2500 crew. Hitch is also way low and rig looks stupid with the trailer nose down 20degrees but pulls fine at 60mph. Note that the adjustment range (up/down) on the landing wheel will NOT get the hitch down to pintle level. And a loaded 1.5t...

I had the same problem dragging an M1022 home. Except I was an hour down the road/2hr from home in a little town pop 234 and decided the left side brake was dragging (wheel/drum too hot). "I'll just tighten that bugger down some more". Yeah good idea as the cam rod snaps in 1/2 down inside...
