and if I were to install an air shutoff flap on my m35a2c it would go over the turbo opening?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
How would carbon dioxide ruin an engine? It simply starves the engine for oxygen and stifles combustion. I don't think I would want to dump an ABC extinguisher in the intake, but CO2 shouldn't cause any damage? Right?I read that c02 extinguishers would ruin the engine, true/false? If it's true then i might as well let the motor explode anyways.
I've only had a deuce for one day, so what exactly and where exactly is the "fording tube" and what does capping it do?The 3 trucks I have seen runaway had sat for a long time. Every truck I own has the fording tube capped as soon as I get it. Keep the mushroom loose and you are done. Absolutely no need for an extinguisher. (though I do have one in the truck for a fire).
It's a 1" hole in the back of the air cleaner assy. There is a hose that attaches to it and goes to the air compressor in the fording kit. If you had a runaway and plugged the intake at the mushroom, it would still run (though slower) through this opening.I've only had a deuce for one day, so what exactly and where exactly is the "fording tube" and what does capping it do?
Oh, I don't have the fording kit, so i can just block up that hole, right? What should be used, a rag or something?It's a 1" hole in the back of the air cleaner assy.

Don't use a rag. I get those rubber caps and hold it on with a hose clamp.Oh, I don't have the fording kit, so i can just block up that hole, right? What should be used, a rag or something?
****, that's not a bad idea, but would it work? Is it safe to test both of these methods? Attempting to choke the engine with the mushroom cap at idle and then testing the c02 on the fording hole.How about running the CO2 hose into the 1" hole where the fording hose goes?
