The proper tach drive was not available. I cut and slit a thin wall brass tube from a hobby shop and inserted this into the original tach drive. Works perfectly.
The success with the Benmar cabin heater led to the installation of a coolant heater.... Benmar also made a 15k btu coolant heater; it didn't put out as much heat as my Stewart Warner 939J24 but the small size and built in pump made it very appealing. I first planned on installing it in the...
A better pic showing the general location. Yes, the outlet will be very hot. I plan on rolling a shroud to prevent inadvertent contact. The fuel filter is the one used on the multifuel flame heater.
I tested this heater quite a few times before committing to the install. Once the air is out...
The heater is mounted on the rear trans tunnel.
The exhaust is routed out the rear. I fabricated a secure means of supporting the exhaust and routed it out behind the cab, next to the transfer case, and rear of the fuel tank.
The standard coolant heater, even when installed in the cab, really isn't quite enough so I looked at the arctic heater options.
Based on the discussion on this forum, the Benmar seems to have a better track record. As it turns out, there is a 20k btu Benmar heater available from the usual...
I have six of the nice fuel pumps that were on ebay several years ago; not an issue. I can use the fuel level switch/ relay to control which pump is on.
What I am wondering if there is any technical negative to feeding ~7psi to the PT pump.
I have an M818 with NHC250, is there any reason not to install M35A2 fuel pumps into the M818 tanks? I realize that the opening in the tank needs to be enlarged but it seems that supplying pressurized fuel would be beneficial. I already have all the parts so cost is not an issue.
I am in the same situation and bought the tool to remove the tach drive assembly. Once it is out, do I simply press the old shaft out of the gear and press the new shaft into the gear?
For the onan, I used the same ferrule as the multifuel. Unfortunately, to get a fitting, I had to cut one off a spare onan injection line. I never thought I'd need a generator where I live but we lost power last summer during a massive storm. Went from daylight to black as night in the time...
