    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    Okay, crisis averted for the time being. Thanks to my favourite local hardware supplier, Lincoln Creek Lumber in Centralia, I was able to source an improvised inline ball valve to serve as temporary emergency shutoff untill I obtain the correct original part. I was able to get most of the rest...

    Funny you should say that... That's where I called, and Trent is who I spoke with. He was very helpful, as far as his ability to do so goes. Once I got him a part number, he found the part immediately.

    Thank you, M35A2-AZ and MyothersanM1 for your help. Just called Cummins with the part number. According to their computer, there are none in stock in any dealer in the continental US, the "factory" does not have any, no estimated production date. There are some at a dealer in Belgium, can be...

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    Update: I got the broken-off part out of the injection pump. It was easier than I expected. So that part's okay now. Still have to source the replacement emergency shutoff valve. I'll be calling Cummins Northwest in the morning to see what they can do for me. I expect it to cost an arm and a leg...

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    Easy-out. Okay, I have a small selection of several sizes. I'll go try to get the brokey threads out. I'd rather not run without the valve, though. It's there for a reason, and I've seen the dmaage a runaway engine can do. So, to source a new one after I get the old bits out. There's a Cummins...

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    okay, I screwed it up. Not paying proper attention to what I was doing, I managed to break the emergency shutoff valve off from the injection pump body. This is what happens when you get into too much of a hurry. So. Where's the best place to get a new emergency shutoff valve, what's it...

    Mine appears to not be glued down in the middle area around the shifter cable hole. But around the edges, I can pull on the plastic and bend it, but it doesn't seem to want to let go on either side of the insulation where it's glued. I'm afraid to pull very hard and maybe crack the plastic...

    Is there a way to get that insulated plastic cover off the doghouse without destroying it? Trying to get at the doghouse bolts with the lip of that cover in the way is very frustrating. I don't want to ruin anything getting the doghouse out. Is there a trick to this that I'm missing?

    Patracy and others who have compleated this modification: I went and picked up most of the parts I need today, finally. Got almost everything required to begin the work. However, I hit a snag. When looking for the JIC fitting, we could not determine which one to get, and it's not directly...

    Change the last two lines in the parts list to TWO 1/8" npt male to male nipple TWO 1/8" npt 90 or straight female to female coupler Because as we were discussing earlier, you need two of those assemblies to do it correctly without re-using the original 90 degree fitting from the front head...

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    I haven't looked under the floor covering yet to see how bad it is. Somebody else posted they were able to do it from the top in the engine compartment. If my flooring is like yours, I may explore that route. I do not fancy the idea of tearing up my floor covering to do this.

    Duel fuel line mod M818 855 cummins

    Thank you, I think I have it now. So on the parts list, where it says we need one male to male nipple and one female to female 90 degree coupler, what we actually need is *two* of each? And then discard the original 90 degree fitting from the front head entirely? I'm hoping to have the time to...

    Thank you for the clarification, Elkhtr. Okay, trying to follow along here.
