    Fuel Economy of Alternative fuels

    I was pretty surprised with Bio. I put half a tank of b20 in my blazer the other day and it quieted right down. I though it was my imagination, but when I filled it back up with regular diesel the klatter was back. I next would like to try a 10%-12% hyd oil mix in the blazer to see what that...

    Fuel Economy of Alternative fuels

    I have run a 60/40 mix of diesel and used hyd oil. I don't have hard numbers but it seems to me that I have used less fuel for the same trip that I have run before. That would be logical considering that the comp would detect the thicker fuel and lean it out some. I'm thinking about running...

    Any one parting out a blazer?

    If someone is parting one out, I'm looking for the add-on service light switch. It is the one on the right that goes up for service light and down for black outs.

    Call from the Army about the 4th of July Parade, All Clear

    As mentioned, for the Army, bdu's are now history. That is important when it comes to them. We work with a Army Reserve horse unit, and being a civi, I can wear BDU's or any other obsolete uniform when working with them, but I can not wear ACU's. That's the law. Someone just had there...

    Diesel/oil mix in other vehicles

    Has anyone using deisel/oil mix in vehicles other than a multi fuel. I run 60/40 fuel/hyd oil mix in the M35 and am looking at picking up either a diesel crew cab pu or a suburban, and would like to run a mix in it, maybe not to the level of 50/50 but maybe 75/25. What about using kerosene...

    GL at Aberdeen

    Technically it was for a commercial purpose, to sell. Also, generally the exception reads "your own" not someone elses. I couldn't hop into my brothers Volvo with the his detachable goose neck and haul his half track to a MV show. I know this because we have discussed how we are going to...

    50/50 Mix for Multi

    I have just started running used hydralic oil/diesel fuel. As the same time that I loaded up my first batch, I changed my frame mounted filter with a big spin on to solve the quick clogging issue. I mixed one batch at 40% hydralic and one batch at 50% in two 50 gal pony tanks. When I...
