Has anyone put some kind of valve in place of the drain plug on the m35's fuel tank? Any info and ideas would be appreciated. I am replacing my fuel tank because of rust and I dont ever want to have to do it again. I want to be able to drain the water on a regular basis. Thanks, Allan

I bet you could find them at any shop that does hydraulic repairs.

^^^Could it be a bad check valve?

I think mine runs around 80 or so when I first start it up and if I remember right it at least stays above 60 at full throttle.

Very nice! Congrats.:-D

^^^The lift pump is two gears or sprockets on the lower part of the ip and they are moving the same rpm's wether the electric pump is on or not.

Dont want to hijack this thread, but thought this may interest some of you that think the electric pump is very important. I am not saying it's not nice to have, but I dont think it's all that important - more of a convenience. I had to move my duece tonight without a fuel tank. Rigged it up...

Maybe it's not the correct thing to do, but having so many trucks running without a good lift pump would give a good indication that it's not a big deal. Again, I would suggest looking for ways that air may be getting into the lines.

I doubt it's the in tank pump. Many people on the forum are running without the pump working. Me for one and my truck starts right up. I would guess that your having a little drane back. Just a guess but maybe check your injector lines. I think your getting air in the lines somewhere.

I would replace the pan and check the pick up tube, but if your getting good oil pressure your probably going to be fine.

Very nice!! You did a great job.:-D

Update.. I was going to have the tank lined, but was told that it doesnt work too well with baffled tanks. Besides "speedy" couldnt get to it till next week. So I am fixing it myself and will be looking for a newer tank. After cleaning it out with acid I found that about the only thing holding...

:idea:Good thinking!!

^^^^Ha, ha, yeh it could have gotten ugly, but luckily I had my son's cooler near by :-D. Then I was pretty fast with the cat litter.

It never seems to end. I was under my Duece and saw a drop of water on the bottom of the fuel tank. Thought it was odd as the truck is kept inside my shop. I wiped the drop off and another showed up. I wiped the next one off hard and a stream came gushing out of the bottom of the tank. So I...

Anyone know of a way to free up a seized parking brake cable without removing it from the truck? Everything moves freely except the cable. Thanks.

^^^Your's is a non turbo?

My Duece is a non turbo and up until this point I have not had the plastic battery box in the battery compartment. I have just installed one and now I am worried that I may melt it. Is this possible since the spark arrestor is right next to the battery box?

I havent put them on yet. They are next on my list. I have gotten the truck up and running again though. :) PS. I had to move those tires into the shop. Someone tried to steal them. :(

So Case is that what happened to those two spares that I got from you? Nice vids.:-D
