what fuels can a cucv handle

[CUCVLOVER]

Hi everybody.

I've have a 1986 m1008 with a stock power train and I was wondering what I all I could feed it without hurting anything.
I will try just about anything as long as it doesn't hurt my motor.

Thanks

Diesel.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Diesel.

Anything else

Any diesel will burn a mixture of oil and diesel

 

[CUCVLOVER]

OK. I've got a line on about 125 gal of free used motor oil. And I've been keeping vegetable.

But the injector pumps don't like it .

Why wouldn't they? I know tons of guys driving on mixture in cummins and power strokes with zero issue. It's a lubricant just like the fuel is.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Why not?
What does it do them?

That's what I would think. It should help them

The carbon in the oil eats the **** out of the pumps.

If you filter it to 2 microns you have a chance it would be ok. But the stock pump dies on pump fuel too.
Your mileage may very.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

OK. I'm looking at fuels that can be used if diesel is unavailable

Just start saving your pennies for an injector pump rebuild. It is not a question of if but when. Most of the pumps out there are 30+ years old and more than likely have never been rebuilt.

Is it best to rebuild or buy new high output/ heavy duty pump and rebuild old one in my spare time

 

[Warthog]

Unless you have deep pockets for the test equipment have a shop rebuilt it.

These are heavy duty pumps already.

I am not aware of Stanadyne still building these pumps for the 6.2L engine. You might find a NOS unit. But it will cost you.

I've seen rebuilt pumps on eBay I figured that's the way to go.

First, a multi engine IS A diesel engine that can run on battle field collect crap if needed to complete the mission.

The clearances in the cucv ip are a LOT tighter then those on a multi and even then the multi was a throw away engine if the need raised if that what it took to complete the mission. Another thing is running wmo WILL coke up the valves, injectors, plus the FINE crap WILL act as a valve grind compound eating valve guides, stems, injectors, then the ACIDS WILL corrode the internals of the ip pump.

It does NOT matter how many "---------" think they know more then the engineers, the bottom line is that the cucv engine IS A DIESEL ENGINE, DESIGNED TO RUN ON DIESEL, not crap, ANYTHING else WILL lower the longevity of the engine.

Well you better tell that to all the people in the country hat have been doing it for years with no issue. Mr engineer.

How many miles have you logged on alternate fuels in your cucv?
