Fire brigade scuba units have different valves and federal law does not allow tanks to be filled without the proper valve design for the type of gas being used. Breathable air, compressed air, nitrogen, O2, all have specific filling valves. The tank in the armor is a nitrogen tank/valve. And the...

Pressure is not a problem. The vehicles run on high pressure systems, 2200 PSI. Nitrogen tank is filled to that. I’m more asking if the injection of nitrogen on the top of the cylinder head would evacuate all the oxygen, not allowing the right fuel air mixture.

The reason I ask is my electric starter failed, so I cannot build air pressure and need that first start. High pressure Air compressor filling stations are not common but nitrogen is. Would I be ok to get the first start using a newly filled nitrogen bottle?

Hello all, Dumb question but can you use a nitrogen bottle to start Soviet Air start diesel engines or does it have to be strictly regular compressed air?

They are both for sale ;) I have no idea what I’ll do with them.

On a whim, here is the result of some money I decided to blow. Now... what can I use them for? Chrysler slant 6 Allis Chalmers 3500 International V304

Any one know the cost of some new or used track for a bmp?

Y’all it’s back. The leak is back. Same spot. Do these machines use air to pull it out of the tank? If I shut her down without bleeding of the pressure, does it siphon fuel to the preheater or exhaust smoke generator? Still coming out the pre heater exhaust hole

So it turns out, the way to stop the leak is to start the vehicle right after you fuel it. No idea why this works...... if you just fill the tank without starting the machine, it will leak.

Feel free to send me a check ;)

Literally not much to take pics of. No actual leak in the interior of the vehicle. Fuel is dripping right out of the exhaust of the preheater, located on the bottom right of the chassis. I dont know if i bumped the pre-heater switch or smoke generator system and it released fuel. I started it...

So I walked into my barn and behold a new diesel fuel leak on my bmp. The leak is coming directly out of the pre-heater exhaust port on the bottom of the vehicle. The preheater is off and the valve handle has never been opened to release fuel into it. I checked every where and I can’t pinpoint...

Thanks for the information. One thing I’d like to clarify, are you sure that the fuel shutoff lever should be in the rear position before starting? The front position seems to open it...can anyone directly clarify? I don’t want to run the old girl out of diesel.

The light’s tag says “vent. ochr motora”, is that the overheated alert?

Thanks D6T, I think that sequence is right. My problem is I don’t read Czech and I need to know what switch the fuel pump is. I’ve got it started and ran a little, now I got this red light on the dashboard, far left side. It says vent something... and yes I pre-oiled the engine with the pre-oil...
