    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Well I am back to square one, once again!! I have been starting the truck everyday, and with it being plug in for 3 or 4 hours, as an example it was - 5 degrees this am, a couple of seconds of cranking, it started right up. So I felt confident enough to drive 8 miles(round trip) to fill both...

    Windshield Wiper Broke

    Thanks, on my M931, my driver's wiper is working fine, but my passenger side is not. Is the button that you are referring too, look like a wedge, on my wiper motor it does. It is right in front of the exhaust pipe, correct? If it is, it doesn't move, probably to many layers of paint. Also...

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Update.... Well it was 12 degrees, but sunny in NH, this am and I pulled the canister filter off again and found that the square washer was not seated squarely. I filled the canister with fresh diesel with a couple of ounces of 2 cycle oil, then I loosened the petcock on the primer pump and...

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Thanks, those of you who have gone with a single tank conversion, did you replace the canister filter with a Spin-off Filter?

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Made an attempt to replaced the o-rings in the selector valve today, but after going to 4 different auto parts stores and 1 hardware store could not find a number 9, 23, and 25. Where do guys buy this little buggers?

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I have a Cummins mechanic who actually worked on these trucks coming out on Saturday to have a look. My fear is that, due to my inability to turn a wrench now and the fact that there are several layers of paint on all the hoses and fittings, I NEED HELP! Will...

    Choosing Between M923A1 and M923A2

    My only concern, in my decision (preferred an A2), was registration and insurance. The A2 was four times the cost of my M931 for both!

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    I removed the fuel filter canister for the third time today and found the "square" metal washer was very warped. Then I found an old rotted O-Ring on the bolt behind the new O-Ring so I flattened the metal washer, removed the rotted O-Ring and installed the new O-Ring. I filled the canister...

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Thanks, tomorrow I will just replace the petcock. So far, the only weak link that I have found in my M931 is fuel delivery, specifically the petcocks, selector valve and the canister fuel filter housing. I am beginning to wonder if the truck maybe sucking air through the canister bolt. I am...

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Hummm, I like the idea of a Schrader valve, it may be a bit more "air" leak - proof!

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Thanks guys, my project for tomorrow before another foot of snow hits on Wednesday. I have read in a couple of threads that some folks remove the fuel filter top wing nut pet cock and replaced it with a plug???

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Excellent thread, thanks! One question, do you need to completely disconnect the lines and remove the valve to replace the O - rings? My lines appear to be in good shape. ALSO, have you folks had the short hose fail that runs from the plunger hand pump to the IP? I am still get some air in...
