    MEP-002 fuel boss/bung replacement?

    A welded on nut works too. Just put it over the tap and weld the center to the tap and turn it out. A faster way is to heat the tap with a torch and just blow it out. If you can't find anyone send it to me and I'll get it out for free. just Pm me .

    Needing to haul my M35a2 from Jefferson City to Chattanooga

    Did you hear any strange engine noise, rattles or bangs? Sometimes the fins break off and enter the intake to the pistons, but not common. The only way to tell is pull the hose off and look at the intake fins.

    M925 Trouble

    Not sure on the 5 tons. The Deuce does and most military fuel tanks do. Maybe someone will chime in on that one.

    M925 Trouble

    Sounds like a restriction in the fuel system, Try draining the tanks and filter the fuel.

    Oil change nightmare!

    I assume the 250 is a wet sleeve? If it is there is a good chance the lower ring land is messed up where the o rings seal. This can be fixed but only with a lower counter boring and sleeve pressed and then machined to the org specs. The block has to be bare to do this. Then there is the what...

    Oil change nightmare!

    Liners just don't break you have more problems, Like everyone has said pull the pan. It shouldn't be hard to find the problem with that big chunk . I bet a used engine will be cheaper before your done.

    Waste peanut oil for fuel

    I know of one gentleman who ran 100% new peanut oil in a case tractor and mowed 30 acres a week when it was cheaper at Sams than diesel fuel. As long as it water free and filtered, I would give it a try in the 8.3 above 50 deg, you may have to add some gasoline as a kicker.

    Waste peanut oil for fuel

    Several guys on other forums run 80% wvo and 20% gasoline all the time and even in new Tdi cars. below 0 they run up to 40% gas. I filter mine down to 1 micron gravity feed sock filter. I also mix wvo and wmo and have never seen it turn to glue in over 1500 miles with the same filters.

    Question about air assist power steering kits for m35... shelf life ???

    They come in a sealed foil cover. They last a long time on the truck in the weather, Sunlight is rubbers worst enemy, 10 years is nothing sealed in a box.

    Fuel gauge mep002-3

    Go see your local Propane dealer, I got one for free, they come in several sizes and he had one that fit just like the stock one, the only thing it reads 0-100%. They are used for the 500 and 1000 gal propane tanks and work the same.
