Deuce Mileage?

[Big Mike's Motor Pool]

i have tires up front that were almost new when i got them and were not recaps. they dont have any dry rot and look good except for being low on tread now. i have been running 70 psi for about 3 years in them now. one thing to note though is the higher psi reduces the contact patch of the tire making in wear a bit faster. i didnt care about this cause the cost of surplus 900 20s on rims is cheap and easier steering is nice

I'm with mudlord! Steering with one hand makes me happy,New tires on the front at at close to 70 psi.Ive had mine like that since i mounted em! I run 45 psi in the rears , so they grip it up!

I get around 10 to 12 MPG on diesel/ATF mix.

I know what ATF is, thats why I asked in the previous post if the acronym meant what I thought it did, just never heard of mixing it with Diesel.....

Benefits?

FMJ, used ATF is always cheap right...so assume that diesel is $3/gallon, 50/50 diesel/ATF or (UMO, etc, etc) mix will yield your fuel cost $1.50/gallon. Some are running 80% used oil mix.

The multifuel will burn a variety of fuels, so getting oils and filtering them to 5 micron prior to mixing with your diesel or gas would be a good way to go.

Thanks, was just wondering about ATF, Diesel here in Las Cruces is around 3.25 a gallon........
looks like I need to start holding up burger joints for used french fry oil........

"would say yours is a good candidate for injectors that are not spraying a mist as they should"

Okay, so what does it take to test the injectors? Or is there an additive to clean them that works well?

"timing could be an important issue also and is very easy to check"

Where is the info on setting the timing?
Non-turbo multifuel.

Thanks,

Diesel shops have a test bench they put them on to test pressure, flow and spray pattern.

yessir, the 70 psi is poor mans power steering

Yes and the other good thing about ATF is it will lube and clean everything in the fuel system very very well. After a good tank I'm sure anyone will feel the difference. its like Running 40 gallons of injector cleaner.

How are you guys filtering the ATF ? can you run it straight ?

 

[Westech]

RE: ATF

Thats what the fuel filters are for. I just filter it in some cheese cloth first.

 

[kipman]

RE: ATF

Westech, how long you been running ATF and do you run it straight?

I find your "Me ... Your Mom" avatar in bad taste and offensive!

 

[jatonka]

I find the avatar "Me...Your Mom" to be inappropriate for the Steel Soldiers site also. Hard to explain to little guys what that is about. So many of the avatars are very neat and original, Pro Junk, would you consider a new one a little less Risque'? Thanks

i got a whole trash can from a friend of mine the other day that was full to the top of old un opened bottles of type F atf in it. i fit about 13 gallons of it in my truck with about 5 gallons of diesel/gas mix and my truck freakin loves it. i cant wait to put the rest of it in there. i might even just start buying atf in cases from advance autoparts. a friend of mine has a little mechanic business outtta his house. he gets a heavy discount from advance and told me i can use his name for whatever i need up there. the savings could be mammoth haha

Has anyone used hydralic oil as a fuel? how about mixing ATF with hydralic oil?

 

[kipman]

Where I work we change out a lot of hydralic oil and some ATF, would be cheap fuel.

 

[Westech]

about 5 years now I have been running some amount of ATF and the past 2 years at about 50%
