    Fixing the deck on the mule

    Good advise Leonard, some newer Mules have aluminum decks. Cabell corrected me on this some time ago, don't know when the aluminum came into play.

    Vegoil destroys engines?

    Re: RE: Vegoil destroys engines? The veggie oil is slightly acid and that is another reason to have a dual tank system, so that the filters, pump etc can be flushed with regular diesel before shut-down. I'm definetely a two tank man. :-)

    Parts request from the Fontana Ca. bone yard.

    Tried a Mason jar and it threads perfectly and I rather have a glass jar anyway, so please drop this item from the request list.

    Vegoil destroys engines?

    Interseting, but some of the statements may not be accurate for heated veggie oil. Good start for a research project. Usually, veggie oil will reduce exhaust emissions and it also adds lubricity to the fuel.

    Who needs paint?

    Scotchbrite takes the oxide off for a good finish. :-) Is there a chemical that will do the same, for the little details and crevices?

    Parts request from the Fontana Ca. bone yard.

    How about an alcohol evaporator jar, item #10 in the image below, mine is broken? It's plastic and wouldn't cost much to ship. If they have loose parts, I'm always looking for circuit breakers and int/ext star washers. I have a 757 wheel (no tire on it) paid for in San Diego, one day I'd like...

    M925 floor mat

    data plate archeology

    I would try different paint solvents on a small part of the tag to make sure it didn't ruin it. Light sanding of top layers works. Some tags are screen printed (the black part) with epoxy ink and are very resistant to solvents.

    Legal use of veggie oil as a fuel

    Thanks Dabtl. I have googled "tax incentives" for alternate fuels, but have not come up with anything current, are there any at this time? It would be interesting to know how an incentive would mesh with road tax for same....

    Finished painting my cab Sunday

    Taking things apart and doing it step by step is often the only way to go. Excellent welding job! What's the rush in getting it on the road, you are having as much fun now as ever, right? :-)

    M756 Pipeline Bed install /redneck engineering

    You are making excellent progress Joel, the cut-outs along the edge for the stake pockets look very good! Don't see any of the 4-1/8 inch holes yet, my bed had three of them. Again, I appologize for the rather poor quality of the wood, the sawmill didn't want to deal with it any longer and the...

    Legal use of veggie oil as a fuel

    Good, we are getting somewhere. :D Is there some way to know if/how this tax has been paid? The images below show the front and back of the Heet jug, a fuel additive, I can't see any indication that the road tax is included in the price, please enlighten me. Heet is almost 100% methanol, your...

    Sooner or later you may have to take it out, why not do it while everything is apart?

    Legal use of veggie oil as a fuel

    This is from the article in the Feb 06 MVM issue, my question here is specifically about veggie oil, not biodiesel. Veggie oil, as far as I know is not recoginized as a fuel...

    Legal use of veggie oil as a fuel

    Re: RE: Legal use of veggie oil as a fuel I'm sure of that, but which form does one use, what is the accepted procedure?
