The saga continues Ok, so I just got back into town the other day after being gone for a week. The truck sat the whole time I was gone. When I got back the truck would not start. Cranks and cranks with some white smoke, but will not fire. Went through the TM religiously, checked GP's and relay...

My apololgies. I wrote down the wrong mix. I was running 40 gals WMO/ 7.5 RUG. Not the previously mentioned 50/7.5. Do you think this is still too rich? I'll experiment by adding another 3.5 gals RUG and see if I still have the same problems. If it's going to continue to give me a lack of...

Just returned to base from my mission to the North Woods. CUCV ran about 500+ miles round trip, fully loaded and pulling a trailer with two 4-wheelers on it. Ran my 50 gal WMO/ 7.5 gal RUG mix the whole way there and about 1/4 of the way back. It ran fine on the way up there but really felt...

I ordered the 4770 base today, will be here in the AM. After half an hour of making the guy at NAPA dig though the catalogs, the best filter we could come up with was an 11" long 3 mic nominal. Do you have a P/N on that 5 mic absolute? Also, what about these vacuum gauges? What did you use...

Thanks maddawg. Prices are certainly one good reason. My rig has already started to pay for itself. Another nice motivator/comfort is knowing that my EOTWAWKI/SHTF/GTFO/Bug-out vehicle has 200+ gallons of fuel right at my house waiting for me. That, and if things continue the way I'm pretty sure...

I'm half-way through my SBC pump mod/build. Installed the new 3/8" pipes for input and output, waiting for JB Weld to cure. Just need to settle on a good motor to run it and clean it out really well since I drilled through the case. Any suggestions there? Don't need metal shavings in my pump...

Thanks! My filter base is a Napa 4309. Do you know of an absolute 5 micron I could use with another of these or should I just get a different base and filter? As for the mixing process: does it HAVE to be old gas or does new work as well? I have a little pancake air compressor I could do...

There are certain advantages to not being so bright ;) Not poking fun, I can relate!

Wow, thanks for the ideas. I like. Especially the one about the valve at the bottom of the drum. I guess I always thought gas in a diesel was a big no-no. How does that work? It would help thin things out and increase my flow though. If I'm already into it this far, instead of mixing oil and...

After reading many threads and pondering my setup, I finally bit the bullet and did it. I've been pretty interested in the idea for a number of reasons. First being half-price fuel, secondly better IP lube, third, I like pissing off crusty old hippie tree-huggers with my carbon boot-print...
