??? :lost: LOL

From what I know the head gaskets are funny, and it is really easy to crank the egt up high enough to make a meltdown of almost anything post-intake. Also the crank journal I understand is not too well designed. As far as the "bashing" goes on the quality of the motor, I'm saying 30-50K out...

Ok - update... I'm late getting back to this thread. The Flange I had fabbed up didn't fit the turbo and manifold well. I'm going another route with a new idea, and will get you pictures this weekend since randylbarnes was kind enough to give us a donor manifold for the testing phase...

That's one wicked rig. I love it. Yes, XML's. Mostly used on the 900 series 5-Ton, but I think the HEMMIT used them too.

Isn't the 2-stroke's supercharger used to scavenge the cylinders better while the turbo provides the added compression overall? I ran into a situation like that on a diesel locomotive. Just wondering.. I'm way off topic... erk.

They call me Dr. Turbo Diesel.. lol.. Wouldn't that make a great song? Anyhow, I can't seem to find my feeler post for the deuce turbo kit, and while I was looking I ran across this. I think that Banks is a great engineering firm as far as design goes, but a lot of the products are second...

Yes I did, I guess you didn't get my pm... Anyhow, thanks so much! ( I think the site was having problems around the time I sent it....) Hope you're not too upset about it. What in particular? I've already asked if Mag can delete my post anyhow...

Interesting.(EDIT - Since it's a solvent) I'm a bit worried about breaking down the lubricating properties of the fuel with that. I wonder if anyone has tried it in fuel oil? I do know that there is a little bit of an oily property that needs to remain to help out the injectors, pump, and the...

I know about the "thick" fluid. That's the idea behind the GP heater and the high flow pump. I'm not upset.

I'm thinking that our mix with the spirits increased the ability of the oil to burn. I'm not sure. I'm a people doctor, not a chemical engineer. I've been accused of being the turbo doctor too. That's about it. Look, it works. I promise you that. It meets our needs, and if I knew this was...

Ok, I should post our "rules" for this mix - 1. As inexpensive as possible 2. Least amount of "fiddling" 3. No refining or complicated processes 4. No huge "mods" to our trucks required, no diesel startup or stops 5. Glow-plug powered heater system is ok (only runs at 160 degrees, so it...

Well, it's free - or at least less than $.67 a gal... And I did say the next day... Simple tank heater will fix that - much like you've built.

Good data. All I know is it works. I was VERY suprised. I'll post up more as I get more involved with this because I know the three or four local guys here are seriously getting into it. Foaming, not sure. Maybe we can find an anti-foam agent, but I'm looking for a simple and cheap...

Well, I read it. There's not much considering it was started in 2002. Good to know my friend isn't insane. Somebody has already found this to work too. I questioned the sitting too, but it seemed to work either way. One good thing about the wait time is that the funky bits missed during...

Cool, I'll have to read it more. Sounds like some were using coleman? 97:1 is the same, or very close to what we did.

Oh - and for a three-poster in a row... We found an electric fuel pump that seemed to "suck" well enough to move the oil ok. I think I'll get one of those high-flow jobbers if I can find a filtering media that can handle it.

Jim, I hate to say it... but TOLD YA SO... I knew from Andrea that they paid the haulers to take it, so we wouldn't have much problem getting it. The problem is the filtering. We used a coffee filter setup inside of a 4" PVC pipe with a 6" drain pipe connection to hold the filter elements. I'm...

I'll tell you one thing - we made two batches. One was from a fast food joint and the other was from a regular resturant. You can certainly tell from the exhaust where the fuel came from! French Fries on one batch and some sort of other stuff with the other place.

Here's my formula. Didn't need ANY heating at all to run GREAT! 25 Gal WVO to 1 Gal EDIT: Naptha Filter and let sit for a day or two. Thined the WVO right out, and ran like a champ. Straight to the engine, no diesel at all in the system for the test. (drained filters and tank and ran lines...

Sounds like you're gonna need one of my turbo kits... :)
