    Help! I'm burning up coils in my M43!!

    You should have a vented fuel cap on the M-37 like the one inthe pic, make sure the ( fording ) valve in the cap is open ( see pencil ). The little 1/8"vent line that runs from the tank to the airhorn is for when your fording and really doesn't vent enough when your out running high rpms.

    water purification truck

    I bought my purification truck for less then what cargos were going for being nobody really wants them. I was going to make mine into a camper but later pulled the unit ( 8000lbs ) and put a cargo bed on it. The nice thing about specialty vehicles like the purification truck is that they usually...
