    fuel filter conversion unit

    What relief valve did you use? I just installed a new primary filter setup on my M35A2 today and am working on plumbing the secondary and final.

    Door Hinge pins

    Whale oil

    I don't about that logger in particular but I know one guy who uses a small rock crusher! Cohune "nuts" are not very easy to break.

    Whale oil

    The natural melting point of coconut oil is actually extremely variable from "nut" to "nut". Here in Belize coconut oil is locally produced. A row of containers of coconut oil on a shelf at any local grocery store here will range in consistency from a liquid to a lard-like substance at room...

    Driving through Central America

    When crossing the border, US CBP doesn't always know how a specific ex-military vehicle ended up in private hands. It could have been sold under an EUC, sold as surplus to a foreign government in the past and then bought by a foreign individual, purchased in the US a long time ago, or some...

    Driving through Central America

    The issue with reentry depends on how you left the US. If you just drove out of the US and then return, still with current US plates, registration, and insurance, there should be no problems. I know numerous truckers here in Belize who have semi-trucks registered in the US and they drive...

    Driving through Central America

    Driving a Deuce in Central America is great! With the low cost of initial purchase it is amazing more people don't own them down here. Sounds like you had a great trip. What color did you end up painting your truck before your trip?

    Deuce breather tube fittings

    My truck has the fuel tank vent line running to the bottom fitting. My master cylinder vent has been separated from the fuel tank vent. The top fitting is empty on my truck.

    Fuel Injector Issue-LDT 465

    Brian Thanks for the updates and the PM. The video was helpful. The United Technologies spec-sheet I attached on my first post list specs for the AKN-130SM-6844-A&B injectors and also the AKN-130SM-6844-B2 which was a different injector with different settings. I have all AKN-130SM-6844-B2...

    Fuel Injector Issue-LDT 465

    The centrifuged oil from the power plant is cleaned and filtered for use in their Caterpillar engine generators. I still run it through a multi-stage filter setup that I use for filtering waste motor oil. My injectors certainly took a beating from my choice of fuels. I have a couple sets of...

    Fuel Injector Issue-LDT 465

    Light sweet crude oil is found locally and exported for refining. I have burned some crude oil purchased locally that simply had the water removed. The BTU/gal isn't as good as diesel due to the light grade of the oil and the tars tended to cause carbon build-up. Recently a local town power...

    Fuel Injector Issue-LDT 465

    I appreciate the replies, but the issue is that these are not the same injectors used on the LDS-465. I familiar with the operating characteristics of the multifuel engines. I have all of the manuals and have read and studied them. The issue is that servicing of the newer AMBAC 2-hole...
