Thank you so much. I've spent several hours looking for that info. Somehow I missed that one.

What's the torque for the inner and outer nut on the trunnion? Is it the same as the hub? I can't find it anywhere. I have trouble finding stuff in the TMs. I tried but I just don't see it. I took the outer nut off and the locking ring. When I took a rag to wipe the grease off the inner nut it...

I've been meaning to upload these pictures for a few weeks now. I bought a heater for the drum and heated it to 170 F. It made everything settle. You can see all the way to the bottom. Nice and clear and clean. The steel plate had no corrosion and was perfectly clean. The copper pipe was clean...

I also noticed that the diesel I bought is green and the drum's diesel is red. Could be an additive mixed with it or it could be that he was running on none taxed red diesel. Doesn't matter just thought it was interesting. I noticed it when I poured the 16 ounces.

As an extra test, I bought a gallon of diesel and a gallon of def. I got a clean paint cup and added 16 ounces of diesel to it. When i added 10 ounces of def they stirred up but settled really quickly. If you look, The ounces still match what i added of each. Nothing mixed. It all settled. If...

Here is a picture of the drum with def in it. I took some metal from this piece that i cut off a car and cleaned off all the paint. I drilled a hole in the metal and ran some welding wire through it. I also grabbed some scrap copper pipe and put them both in the barrel. The copper pipe is...

I have some pictures of my findings but can't upload them with my phone. Have to wait until I get home. So far it's like oil and water. Diesel on top and def on the bottom. I'll get into detail when I upload the pics.

Testing

Test

Will post some pics of the drum and the metal I suspend when I get to work and have some time. the drum is still at work because my deuce is down. It was making oil. I think it's been doing it for a while. Real slow. Fdc is bypassed. I'm almost done fixing that. Just have to put the fender back...

I really need to test this. I've read that def settles on the bottom. Does any of it mix into the diesel? I'm going to get a piece of (bare) metal and suspend it in the middle of that contaminated drum and see if it eats the metal up tomorrow. I have to wait for my centrifuge to come in the...

That's the plan. They have some barrels that have been sitting there for 4 years or more that are gas and diesel mix. My dad thinks I should mix this one in slowly with some fuel from the others in case my filtration system misses a little. So it's diluted more. Plus I always add plenty of...

To tempting not to save it. Use whatever is near the bottom as a fire pit starter. Looks like mostly fuel to me. I think he did a good job just putting Diesel in the drum. :)

I thought about that too. Doing a test but then I found a video on YouTube called DEF in Your fuel tank. Oops. He shakes it around at about the one minute mark and it clouds up the diesel but within seconds is settles to the bottom and the diesel is see through again. This 55 gallon drum is...

I'm also reading that diesel floats on top of def. If you pour diesel in you def tank. Maybe leave it sit and then just take the fuel from it down to the last 6 inches or so and dispose of the rest. Centrifuge what I take out. Seems like such a waste of almost 100 dollars of diesel if it can be...

The mechanic who removed it told me That when def dries it crystallizes. It had me worried that my 30 micron, 5 micron, and fuel water separator might not clean that bit out. I was thinking maybe after those filters I would run it through a centrifuge for a while to clean it to something like...

Okay. Sounds good. I've been trying to upload a picture of it for my profile but haven't figured out how. It acts like I'm viewing it as somebody else or something.

I work at autonation and the service department has lots of drums of gas and diesel mix from people putting the wrong fuels in. My newest is someone putting Diesel exhaust fluid in their Diesel tank. Any way I can filter this with a centrifuge or something and run it in my deuce? I've never...
