Good suggestion Lee, I found that it was good to run the engine for 1/2 hour at a time every 6 hours or so, even in not-so-cold weather (around zero) when the truck was needed on a short notice some years ago....started instantly every time.
Yes, it's too much for the starter bush button, on closer examination the pull-in current is 35 amps initially plus the usual in-rush current on top of that...
RE: Re: Help with uh-48 multifuel heater.
Interesting heater, lots of goodies there!
If you can tell me the number on the connector insert, use a bright light and check the numbers in relief, should be something like 16-10 or similar. The pins should be marked "A", "B" and "C". Do that and I...
Andy, "inches of water" is a unit of measure, used for very low amounts, "cm of water" or "inches of mercury" are some other ones.
6 inches of water is about 0.2 psi.
The Magnehelic gauges ar common on ebay for some reason, with odd and unusual units of measure, check them out. Normally high...
Since I collect the oil (I have a crankcase breather filter installed), I can tell you that the amount of oil is about 1/10 of a quart every 1,000 to 2,000 miles.
If you are interested in measuring the pressure, get a Magnehelic gauge on ebay for about $10, they are excellent for this kind of...
I agree with Lee, that we need more info on the model etc.
As far as "gasoline only", the only change is the fuel flow, which is slightly higher when using gasoline (see image below). I'm sure it has to do with the BTU value of the fuel to obtain a specified heat output and doesn't effect the...
How much blowby, under what conditions?
Like the PS mag says, engine leak, maybe not....

Re: RE: Civy Ignition switch
My 757 is wired without the accessory switch, the "Master Switch" has "OFF", "ON" and "START"(momentary) positions.
Note that the switch isn't drawn correctly, but those are the functions and the "civy markings", "S", "R" and "B" added by yours truly.
Definitely a quality product. Keep in mind that this series of relays are not "sealed" and must be protected from the environment. Used a lot on aircraft according to some references.
It's also important to include contact protection circuitry, for a long life, something soorely neglected in...
At some point in time they must have done away with the coolant circulation pump shown in the TMs for my 8x8...
What parts are you missing, I may have something?
The concern about the exhaust fumes from around the engine when heating the oil pan is real IMHO, if the cab is not air tight or has...
I use 1/2 inch plywood. primed and painted and heavy duty cable ties to hold in place, for easy removal/installation. Use the above image and estimate the openings, not an exact science.
Don't know where you'd buy it, but here is something about it, PS Magazine style:

Merry Christmas to you too!
Allen, I have seen some note somewhere about not driving with the side panels off, because it would effect the flow of the air. I'll dig further and post any "new evidence". :-)
Of course, cutting the fan would be major in that case.
Okay Tom, thing is that making something static proof is such an obvious requirement for anyone working with CMOS circuitry that it shouldn't need to be spec'ed.
The lack of heatsinks argument sounds right, thanks.
