    Best gasoline to use in a M38A1

    Simple ethylene glycol is not normally stored in the ground. Exposure is within the aerated and aerobic zones of most soil. This allows for mechanical stripping. Bacteria are a wonderful tool for us who clean up this stuff. Degradation of MTBE by microbes is debated. I also believe that at...

    Vacuum to collect ALT. Fuels

    Jake brake equipped '03-'07 dodges I believe have a belt driven vacuum pump. Would imagine the volume would be low but may be worth looking into.

    Best gasoline to use in a M38A1

    Awsome, I deal with gasoline in groundwater and will say MTBE does not need to be handled by the public. Not that the effects are really toxic just it moves too freely through our world. I might just be stripping ethanol from my fuel before storage now. This has been a pretty useful topic...

    Best gasoline to use in a M38A1

    The way I understand the use the ethanol is really just a filler or extender. Has very little to no fuel value in most engines. Anyone know of this for fact or bs?

    Best gasoline to use in a M38A1

    I remember reading up on hardened valve seats. I do not have the time to look it up but I believe it is a concern with both the L and F heads. My poor jeep has been re-powered. I remove the ethanol from pump gas. I mix any additives into a jerry can and drive around till the main tank needs...

    Vacuum to collect ALT. Fuels

    As vapor goes remember moving air creates static, static creates spark, sparks can make things go boom. That said good grounding of drums and equipment is essential when working with even the less flammable liquids like used oil. You are never really sure of the mixture. I use the...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    DrJekl I would think that its by far more economical to swap power plant and driveline. I would concur with the price of scrap making everything hard to come by. There is a 12V cummins that came avalible here in my neck of the woods for $1200 but let me tell you that is the first I've seen in...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I like the size...the comparison drives it home though this is not a jeep your going to muscle out of the mud. I would go OD and only black stencils for lettering. I've gotten rid of the bubba tiger camo job on my jeep, but just did not want to go period with the yellow markings it would take...

    I'm stupid and misspelled my user name

    The irony is apropos. :roll: As to the height of the jeep it was not my doing hence my signature line.

    I'm stupid and misspelled my user name

    It would appear that by your last statement one could infer that a lowly Jeep may make one ponder ones mental faculties? I do not ride around in a cargo truck and I did not misspell my screen name.:funny:

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Any thought as to paint or markings? It does look good. I can see the size problem, at first glance it looks small but closer I can see its a beast.

    I'm stupid and misspelled my user name

    :funny:I think living with it now is the only way. Plus if I am correct I believe soldier #2 posted for his dad. I think the Marine can take a joke and now has a nick-name. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/36280-florida-member-database-map.html Add your name up to the list and it...

    Yup going to fit in....I was all proud of myself stenciled 53M38A1 on my hood and was standing back admiring it. Then come my wife with "why is the 1 backwards" :doh:

    Project Shanty: Bolster plus Improvised Shelter equals Camper

    My experience would say don't spray in the insulation unless you are really confident in the water proof nature of your structure. With the nature of the improvised shelter you would have to judge that. But the common ISO board with the foil is what I would go with. If you did have a leak it...

    New to SS

    ditto, that is one project I've always wanted to take on. Grew up just south to the UDT museum in Ft. Pierce they have one outside. Welcome, I don't think having a MV is at all required to enjoy this site.

    Project Shanty: Bolster plus Improvised Shelter equals Camper

    The cool seal comes in two different qualities yes. Its a coating and never intended to be used as a waterproofing system. Think spray paint: not, primer, base, sealer, wax!!! Frodo--- the new shanty does look like a step up. Would think bedliner might work good. I still would worry about...
