I recently found bacteria in the fuel of my skidsteer. I went and got some biocide but wonder if it's worth draining the 20gal out of the tank and replacing it with fresh fuel. Does it hurt to run contaminated but treated diesel?

I went on a 400mile round trip this weekend to Pismo Beach, CA. The truck ran awesome and did great in the sand, M931a2 with a M105 trailer. At idle there is a grey haze and the EGT's are really high at 1000 degrees just cruising 55mph on a flat freeway. I want to try to clean my injectors but...
I guess it depends on what you consider won, but we settled out of court and I got what I asked for.
The long and boring. I bid on a civilian truck, won, paid, tried to set up a pickup time and the pickup contact wouldn't call me back. I tried all ways but was unsuccessful and after the...
When I was turning up the fuel on my IP I noticed the oil was kinda black. I changed the engine oil about 200 miles ago and it still looks amber colored. Does the IP have its own oil? I drained about a 1/2 a quart from the timing pin plug and added a new 1/2 a quart into the 10mm allen plug on...
Over the past few years I have had a handful of batteries spontaneously short internally leaving them completely dead. This has happened in my 5 ton, two of my cars and my pickup. I use 2 batteries in the 5 ton now but I had a spare battery that wasn't hooked up, and when one of the batteries...
I took my 931A2 out for a drive today for the 1st time after some recent mods. I have the pre boost screw turned out 1 turn, the gov springs tightened 3 clicks and yesterday I advanced the IP timing to 14 degrees. The way I advanced the pump was probably not the correct way. I installed the...
It was raining the other day and I was home sick cruising the internet. I looked for a better spin on fuel filter for the secondary filter mounted on the engine because its only a 14 micron. I couldn't find any info so I searched the wix filter website for any close matches.
I JUST changed my...
Is there a way one of these run flats can be removed in a home shop? Unlike a beadlock I cannot get a strap around the outer circumference and squeeze it down into the shape of a bean
I went to swap some tire of my combat rims and two of the outer studs that clamp the rim halves together stripped the thread on the nut. The nut will spin freely but the stud doesn't move. I checked to make sure the stud wasn't spinning in the wheel and its not. The threads between the nut and...
I checked the TM's but I don't have the wire # because the metal tag is missing. There are three wires I am trying to figure out where they go.
#1 has the metal tag and it says GND A. Obviously goes to the ground post on the battery.
#2 is a thin gauge wire
#3 is a heavy gauge wire
Wanting...
In California
I occasionally see a vehicle for sale privately(ebay or craigslist) that says the seller will give you their SF97. I know there are a lot of opinions and thoughts but I wondered if anyone KNEW for a fact that this can be registered through CA DMV or will the DMV not accept...
I finally got this generator running after replacing S1 but it has no output voltage other that the 6v exciter. No fault lights, and same results when the battle switch is on.
Here is a link to a crappy video

Just bought this truck and I love it so far. I had searched and read this forum for all these answers but couldn't come up with them.
1. I know these aren’t race cars but my truck is ungodly slow and I don’t think it would make it up a 6% grade. Has anyone turned up the injector fuel rack...
I just bought this unit and it ran but made no voltage. I adjusted the mag pickup and moved the high/low voltage board to the low position. Now the engine will only stay running if the main switch is held in the start position. It runs great but once I let off switch the engine shuts off. The...
GP tell me their inspector was unable to find certain info on my M35A3 data plate so they sent me a request for a SF97. All the fields are missing and my questions are:
1. What should I put for the year? 1990 would make it 25 years old and I might be able to register it as historic?
2...
