I won't be able to come. That's one day I have to work and can't sneak out of. I'm pretty sure Juan will be available.

Bummer. I guess I'll have to go with the original Wix 24001 filter base I was looking at. Indeed, sometimes cheap doesn't work out. Those filter bases seem expensive though... However, I've changed my plans for the water separator. I can get a Goldenrod 495 water separator for about the same...

I've come into some transmission filter bases off some 900 series trucks. They have a 1 1/8-16 filter thread. So I'm trying to find a final diesel fuel filter that will work on these filter bases. All I've found so far are oil filters, and they seem to have 10+ micron filtering capability. Does...

As of around 3pm, the bed is on its way to Jeepsinker's.

Yep, I have a brand new one. $400 plus actual shipping cost and it's yours. The $400 is just what I have in it myself.

I forgot to put it in the diagram, but there is a ball valve already on the tank that will be the valve before the filters. I'll also most likely put one on the barrel pickup just for extra insurance and to reduce spillage, since the barrel hose will not be a fixed item..

That is indeed terrible. But, I know exactly what this tank was used for and what was in it for the past 10+ years. It held around 100 gallons of gasoline at any given time. And until I sufficiently fill it enough with diesel to drive the gas vapors out, it gets my utmost respect.

I threw together a quick Visio drawing of what I had in mind. The triangles are brass 1/4 turn ball valves. All the pipe with the exception of the dispenser hose is 1" galvanized and the dispenser hose is whatever the standard size is. The second filter setup is after you suggested adding them.

My initial thoughts are to not worry about filtering the fuel when it goes into the tank. The pickup from the barrel would be after the filters and before the pump so it bypasses the filters. The diesel "assumed" clean from the fuel distribution company I buy it from, so I'm not currently...

I'm still working on my diesel storage tank and I'm ready to build the dispenser system. I'm aiming for the dispenser pump to pull fuel out of the tank, but also be able to offload barrels of new diesel into the tank. I am currently planning on using 2 Wix 24001 spin-on bases with a 24027...

It is the same between the 016B and the 701A, since the 701A is just a 016B with the ASK kit. I think there's other models that use the same regulator, but I can't think of them off-hand.

I have a failed 016B regulator that I can send. The 016B/701A regulator is potted with potting compound that I recall people saying is very tough, so I don't know what all you can glean from it, but it's just taking up space in the shop. I installed a battery tender on the 16b that seems to...

That's the whole purpose of this thread. He's trying to engineer a better one that doesn't have the issues the stock piece has. And when it comes out, I'm game for one!

I operate mainly in VHF and above, so if it doesn't hurt HF, it almost certainly won't hurt VHF and above. I'll probably pull the caps just for insurance.

It's common knowledge the the capacitors on the fuel pumps for the MEP 002/003 gensets fail causing control circuitry issues. It's also common knowledge that the capacitors are there to suppress noise to RF communications. How bad is the noise with and without the capacitors and on what bands...

That's pretty ingenious. I'm assuming you just bolted it to the drum? Did you use a backer plate inside the drum to keep the bolts from pulling through? I have access to a torch; maybe that will make cutting the holes easier and avoid burning up hole saws. I can't see the gas being more than...

Could you share what parts you used for the flanged heater elements? My welding is also no good. I looked a while back at Home Depot and didn't see any of the flange-style water heater elements.

GoPros often have that jello issue. There's some software tool that will help reduce that effect when editing the video. Unfortunately I don't know what it's called, but I'm sure it can be found with a quick google search. Also, you may want to consider moving the sat radio (I'm assuming that's...

I'm interested in the network/telecom/voip details of the project. I've played with asterisk off and on for many years and I'm guessing you're using that or one of its variants for voip.

I recall reading someone used these wiper motors on their deuce windshield, though I think some modifications were required. It says the motor is for an M38, so it's probably close. I want to swap my deuce over to electric wiper motors too but haven't gotten around to playing with it yet...
