    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    If I PM you my address, will you send me a sample of the filtered oil? I'll scrape up enough money for an analysis, I think it would be most informative....

    best kind of batteries to use?

    The principle purpose of the batteries is to crank the engine.... The starter motor is not made for long cranking periods and must be allowed to cool every 30 seconds or so, when the engine won't start. When batteries are used in series, they should be of the same kind and capacity and don't...

    Frequent stops and starts

    Spoke with the UPS driver some time ago when he had just started driving a new delivery truck. They are required to shut down the engine at every stop to save fuel, but it's hard on the engine and starter, of course, so now the trucks (engines) are equipped with an injector "cleaning" device...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    I for one, would still like to see an oil analysis report before and also after, just for peace of mind. How much of the trace elements are you actually getting rid of? They may not clog the filters, but do effect the combustion.

    Oil analysis report

    Finally, after more than a year, I sent a sample of the original crankcase oil off for analysis. It is for the xm757 lds-2 engine and the results are "normal". :-)

    Auxilary fuel tank pump?

    Interesting, for comparison, my dual tank 757 does not use a transfer pump, but has check valves and a selector valve for returning the return flow to the tank that it's running on. It does have one pump in each tank also and one single "left" or "right" selector. No need to transfer fuel from...

    NATO Light switch data...

    Is this the switch in question? Don't know anything about it, but if it has a built-in breaker, it's probably in the 20 amp range, like the US one (the loads are similar).
