Biodiesel is available commercially and certain amounts of the homemade variety is permitted to be used legally, but what about veggie oil, used or fresh? I don't believe it's considered a legal fuel in any amount (other than as an additive), so does anyone know how to legally use WVO or VO...

That's a whole different ball game, I retract my statement.

As I go along working on the 757, I like to point out design differences (improvements) and found another today. The instrument panel is installed on rubber shock mounts and there is a dedicated ground wire for the instruments.

RE: Re: RE: Pre- Filter housing Thanks for pointing that out Ryan, I had a filter canister from an M543 at one time and it was just a simple "barrel", must have been an exception....

Have you tried to use the "additive" approach, you are permitted to use additives as long as it's not 100% in my understanding. Biodiesel can pe purchased and it's probably a good idea to buy some now and then just to be able to show a receipt. Veggie oil added to the low low supfur diesel is...

If Ace Hardware can't help you, try http://www.mcmaster.com/ Look under Army-Navy grommets. They always ship the same day as ordered and shipping charges are very low.

Re: RE: Pre- Filter housing As note of interest, the m656/xm757 trucks have a "2-stage" filter with built-in vanes to get the air circulating. The end section is the dust collector.

This should help, it's from the (Feb 1965) 209-10, don't mind my scribbles, they go back more than a decade.

I have seen them at farm supply stores...used on tractors.

I have a supplier of the rattle cans, Attackopgear.com also in CA. Thing is they have a fixed $4.95 shipping charge on any of their products, not bad for a six-pack across the country via UPS Ground. :-) Opie has tried to get some gallon cans locally, but the shipping and hazmat charges are...

The platform/loading area behind the cab is all aluminum except for the bolted-on mounting brackets. No wonder these trucks get scrapped, several hundred bucks worth of aluminum in this piece alone. Rust on this vehicle is almost non-existent. One reason I'm posting all this about the...

Mike, you can even use a circular saw (with the right blade) to cut metal. Here I'm cutting 3/8 steel.

Great Devin! I was going to ask about the deuce, should help pay for the 404. Looks like it belongs in that driveway. :-)

RE: Re: WVO for Dummies - need clarification Knew that was coming. :-)

1) Yes, but for 100% WVO, it must be heated. Mixed with diesel run about 20% max. 2) It requires extra handling. Pouring WVO into tank from small containers will usually cause a spill, which gets messy..I have left many a greasy spot on the pavements in rest areas across the country. :oops...

The CDL requirement starts at 26,001 lb, I don't need one to drive it empty, at least that's my understanding. Yeah, the horsepower to weight ratio is very good, better than most MV's. From the pershingmissile forum: "..... A M54 Tractor Truck was used to pull an EL on a field exercise with D...

The best kind. :-)

I try to be responsive. :-) PS. Welcome to the steelsoldiers! Please, enter your location in the profile.

This should help.

Great truck Cabell, should be useful. After the 757 everything suddenly looks so heavy..... Have you tested the dump bed yet or did I miss something again?
