I'm fortunate as my local advance stocks the tank...with the discounts it is right at 80$. It's not a hard job since it's empty. One thing I suggest when you do go to bolt the mount brackets on is leave them loose so you can get the frame bolt holes to line up the tighten the tank staps down for...
I did that to one of mine as well. A small transfer pump fills up the passenger side pretty quick. I popped the roll over valve off the passenger side since I didn't want that blocking fuel if it ever got stuck.

The third is for a civi that has a charcoal canister. 2 is all you really need. Just cap it off. That one's been changed at some point. Not a big deal at all. I use both lines that go all the way into the tank...the third one might come with a roll over valve in it or it's short...I cap that...
Not at all. The 4th outlet is for a diesel outlet that isn't for the engine like a heater. Not needed unless you want that. I've had to replace all the straps on the tanks I've done so it's nice to hear you won't have to! My one truck shows full until it hits 10 gallons then goes down from...
Should fit fine. You might need new straps. If the gage works I'd get a new sock for the pickup at the least. The tank will come with a new seal. Get a few feet of new fuel line.

Sorry, I was meaning to save that as a draft but hit reply instead!! Was going to say, towing the 208, with the pump on the main shaft, in neutral, it should be able to be towed without taking the driveshafts off and keep lubricated. I think that makes it so the tailshaft of the trans won't...
That black spray painted ones. Ok ..my next step would be checking the big snap ring and make sure it's thick enough to hold it tight.

Darn!! Was hoping that would do it! Ok...are they a brand name lockout? Like warn etc? I've run into some that were a no name brand and the guts weren't made right.

Ok still pretty far!! That's neat you got the crank pulley from them...my son bought everything they had cucv wise a few months ago. I got those pulleys coming out my nose!!

So the bolts break for the muffler support, then break the pipe out of the muffler. Yeah, I'd want to make that stronger somehow before it breaks. I have a 531 genset, so I know how much that vibrates being a single cylinder as well. Going to the auto world spring loaded gasket mounts are used...
How did you fix that? Replace the bolts with higher grade? You weld brackets on the manifold to make it not break? Could be something he could use to make his machine safer to run.

I'm really curious about that exhaust setup he's made! Looks great. The gas furnace exhaust fan is a great idea. What's the 55 gallon drum do? I've seen those 1800 watt inverters on gov planet I bet they have a solid sine wave. I never bought one thinking it wasn't big enough but probably works...
Well I'm not sure how this works. I think they call these cucv 3s or 2s? I looked at all the pics but I didn't see any badging showing u
Its shipping weight or how to lift it. How do you know that it is a military ambulance?

Go for the chrome! Are you doing the same thing with the rear window crank? I have a nos nsn rear crank that is chrome but it doesn't have the handle part of the crank that flips open just the short nub where the lock would go. Tough to figure out what was stock and what changed with parts...
