After replacing the fuel tank/pump/filters on my 89' M35A2C (it fell pray to old gov biodiesel) we thought that it might start again (ran great when first bought). Flip the power switch - pump humms - no fuel at the injector pump. I know the pump works since it came off a running duce (engine...
Have a question about the primer pump next to the filters on the MK48 - When you pump the primer it blows bubbles in the fuel filter bowl - Theres no real pressure on the pump as you work it. The reason for trying to use the primer pump is the engine wont start - it ran fine when it was...
Heres a couple pics of the gen set I picked up from a friend - I decent shape considering its age. Hope to get it running soon - any suggestions on the best way to clean the fuel tank - its kinda crusty.
Just bought one of the Mk48 LVS trucks in Jacksonville - will the 8V92TA operate with a wmo/diesel mix? If so any experience with the mixing ratio? Thanks

The fuel pump on my M35 stopped pumping - still made noise like it was working but no fuel output. Removed the pump to find the pump unit was frozen up - more like gunked up. After removing the lower part of the pump and washing it down with some MEK it finally freed up. We reinstalled the pump...
I just bought a Hyster forklift powered by a Isuzu diesel from the govt.(scl - The lift has a sticker above the fuel cap that reads Biodiesel. Now heres the question. Does the biodels go bad, when it does go bad does it look like fudge? Anyone have one of these engines?
Have a 89 M35A2C that I bought a year ago October - It has always started in the first few turns of the starter. Last time I went to start it up it stumbled like it was going to fire up then nothing. I dont use it on a regular basis so it sits for periods between starts. Cranks fine - just...
