    Bought a M818

    Got the fuel tank selector valve out the other day, took it apart tonight. Removed the hoses and will get new ones made for it. It was gunked up in the valve. Got it out and used parts cleaner to get the heavy stuff out. Still some gunk in it, what's the best way to get it clean and shiny?

    Bought a M818

    Going to be tackling the fuel system with the 5 ton shortly. What fuel line should I use to replace what's there? Going to be replacing the filter and everything. Also going to get the dual tanks working. It appears they hacked into them and made a mess trying to keep it running.
