    NJ oshkosh m1070

    something else you might tell them, top speed is 52mph, not limited but maximum, dont know if that helps or hurts in this instance, I know in the real commercial word, if a driver is having issues getting insurance due to tickets, if his truck is speed limited, that helps.

I vent my heater exhaust to the 'storage' side of my shop and have no issues with carbon monoxide in the big side, unless...

    Choctaw H140 Heater fuel pumps.

    are you getting any burn when looking thru the inspection glass? if not, i would pull the burner assy, and disconnect the fuel line at the fuel pump and push K1 thru the line backwards with a syringe or something low pressure. Just bc you have psi on the gauge doesnt mean there is pressure to...

    Needing help with my H82 heater

    are you checking and adjusting the pressure in the 'Fan' mode or 'Heat' mode? you will have 40 psi on fan mode only and about 20 psi with the purge switch engaged in fan mode, there will be no fuel to burner also in fan mode, only return fuel to the tank. to adjust high side pressure, it must...
