Chuck, you are absolutely correct. The only difference is the additives,which you mentioned, which causes the burning rate to slow. Which is why high octane fuel in an engine designed for lower octane can cause the valves to overheat.

The link to the video worked fine for me.

Good Pictures! - - I think those pictures helped bring my wife around to liking my Deuce a little more!

That's one of the reasons that aviation fuel doesn't have ethanol added -- corrosiion. There is currently a lot of research going on regarding putting ethanol in avgas. They really want to get rid of 100 LL with the TEL.

I suspect we will see the price of these GenSets coming down in the future. DRMS has been letting a lot of GenSets go to GL lately. I don't know what the overall market is for these military GenSets, but eventually if enough are released, the price will drop. On the other hand most of the...

If your engine can tolerate the high-octane, 100 LL aviation fuel does not have any ethanol added and is loaded with tetra ethyl lead. I forgot to mention, you also need to be able to tolerate the higher cost. The last I bought was $4.67 a gallon, but I've seen it over $6.00.

Sounds like fun! Are you running NDTs?

It sounds like you definitely won that contest! Since my earlier post, mice have now chewed through another seatbelt, this time in my VW Jetta TDI. Knock on wood, they have now left my Deuce alone for awhile.

I believe the Engine Center in Ferndale, Michigan is out of business. I found their telephone number(248-399-0002), but it has been disconnected and the website is also down. I wonder what happened to their parts and manuals.

Armada, I cannot get this link to work. Do you know if they are still in business?

Well, I've now picked up the Wisconsin Robin GenSet from Fort Bragg. I have done zero checkout on it yet, but it looks mostly complete except for the battery bracket. Interestingly, there were two DD Form 1574 (Serviceable Tag - Materiel) attached. The first one simply had the number 4...

This isn't true. When you run your winch cable out to the snatch block which is attached to an immovable object (tree) and back to the truck with the winch, you essentially double your pulling power. It is actually around an 85% increase in most cases due to additional friction. The reason...

It is possible to apply for an export license for a temporary export. However, the bigger question is where you want to temporarily export the vehicle to. Some countries outlaw personal use of military vehicles. Others outlaw camo paint jobs or military-looking paint jobs on any vehicle...

I once bought a car that had positive ground and a brand new battery was installed backwards. The owner was so disgusted with his car problems he sold it to me real cheap. I had a very quick fix. It is always good to check if the batteries are installed with the correct polarity and there is...

I have sometimes unhooked battery cables and then re-jumpered the batteries so that they were hooked up in parallel and charged both batteries simultaneously. It's easy to do with jumper cables.

My Deuce runs about 180 - 185, even in very cold weather, although it takes some time to come up to temperature when it's very cold.

It is usually the other way around when I post.

I notice that it appears that electrical wiring goes into the side of where you say the air is coming out. Just guessing, but is it possible that this is some type of electric solenoid valve on the bottom of what appears to be a small tank? Possibly for remotely purging air/water from the tank...
