The multifuel M.A.N. cycle engines are already pushing the pistons, not punching them. Diesel is already more of a push than a punch and the M.A.N. cycle principle (patented) makes the push longer. Investigate that before you re-invent the wheel.
The future of mainly EV's is a government mandate that catered to the climate activists. The money grab is coming from the foreign crude suppliers who see the writing on the wall and want to get as much as they can , while they can! There has not been any new oil refinery built in the USA in...
Tetraethyl lead boosted the octane rating, removing it meant they had to refine the gas more to get the octane rating back up. Diesel, to remove 'excess' sulfur, has to be refined twice, first to make it diesel, second to reduce the sulfur to below 15 ppm. Synthetic oils are generally made...
As for different brands of gasoline, what goes into the tanker truck is strictly by grade, but they do add about a gallon of the special mix in first (for Exxon, Shell, BP, etc) for each thousand gallons of gasoline.
I also saw in one of my daily intel reports the following yesterday, for what...
Most gas stations get at least one delivery a day, at the 'contract' rate, which is set one to two weeks ahead of delivery. A 5000 gallon tanker will be enough to fill about 250 20 gallon (average fillup) customers. Depending on the number of pumps they have will determine how fast it is...
The Paperclips on the front bumper can also indicate use and ownership by the USMC or Seabees while on active duty. Paperclips were used to crane lift them onto ships from what I've been told.
We had 12 vehicles in the Aiken, SC parade. They have a video posted on their (USMC Memorial Day Parade) Facebook page. I had some electrical problems and only got dashcam from the driver's side. I'll try to post one of the segments to You Tube and give a link on here.
That truck has 'paperclips' on the front. That would explain why you have parts of the deep water fording kit installed. My 36 came that way. The air was supposed to pressurize the clutch housing, transmission, transfer case and the axles with enough air to keep water out of those parts.
Anyone looking for Gamma Goat, deuce or 5 ton rims. If so we may be able to squeeze them onto the loads that JP and/or ferro are bringing. Must be spoken for or they will not travel. $10 each.
A while back I got the following from Portrayal Press:
TM 9-802 2 1/2 ton 6 x 6 Amphibian Truck (GMC DUKW 353)
TM 9-1802A Power Plant for 2 1/2 ton 6 x 6 Amphibian Truck
TM 1802B Power Train for 2 1/2 ton 6 x 6 Amphibian Truck
TM 1802C Hull and Water Drive for 2 1/2 ton...
The switch is very simple inside . Two 90 degree arcs of graphite/carbon 90 degrees apart. When A and B are both on the same arc segment, C and D are on the other arc segment, and the circuits are complete. When A is not on the arc segment, neither is C and the circuits are 'off'. If it...
The deuces on my driveway are plated and insured, but one would have to trespass on the property to see the plates. I'm also a member of the 'Gray Team' that takes care of the yards - mowing, tree cutting, etc. - for the neighborhood widows. Only six of the 42 houses have 'new' people in them...
Local rules vary. I'm in SC, not in a town or HOA, and I have two deuces parked in my driveway. Most of the neighborhood children and grandchildren (when they are visiting) have had their picture taken behind the steering wheel of one or both of them.
Already started setting aside items for use at the Rally. Got a can of pew-pew's for Sonny, and a cook pot cradle for Cabell. John and I will work out the grocery list for the Peon Palace in early August.
