    Newb question, but 5-Ton WMO or WVO?

    WMO makes less power and burns hotter, a 30-40 year old engine designed for diesil won't take the stesses as well as your buddies Power Stroke. Modern engines handle the extra heat better due to things have improved in the manufacturing materials and other things. A Pyrometer or exaust temp...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    :funny:rofl Thats the air regulator for the air wipers. The more you turn it in the faster they go. Sounds like you might want to glance thru the basic operations TM. They're free and downloadable at the top of the home page.

    Newb question, but 5-Ton WMO or WVO?

    The M35A2's were only equipped with Multifuel engines and had the capability to run on diesil, gas(in smaller quanities), kerosene, JP5(jetfuel), and WMO/WVO. There was some 5 tons equipped with Multi's and it has all the capabilities as the M35, but there was a couple of other engines like the...

    ATF red dye?

    Exempt as long as your using less than 400 gallons a quarter, Page 4 about the 2nd line, starts with Exclusions Got this from the IRS, gave the first person such a hard time about giving me a "I think" answer and not a black and white one, that they took my name and number and refered it to a...

    ATF red dye?

    The way I like it, thanks. I'm not trying to in any way shape or form evade taxes or show someone how to. Just trying to edgeucate on how to do it legally. The Next time I go past a weigh scale I'll stop and have someone inspect my stuff and record the whole thing if it would help clear it up.

    ATF red dye?

    ATF red dye?

    I would think so, I would think it would be the same as filling up with taxed diesil from GA and making a trip to SC and back. You paid tax on it once already. I could see a issue like where semi's have to run fuel stickers due to amount of fuel cairried on board and projected range of the...

    ATF red dye?

    Point well taken Chaplin and porky, 100% legal here and covering my butt! Just trying to show that weather the LEO realizes it waste oil, veggie oil, and mabey kerosene are equivalent to non tax, red, or off road diesil unless other steps are taken.

    ATF red dye?

    Don't know dude, just as a side note VA has already done this and NC is trying to do the same. There is a additional tax on hybrid and electric vehicles due to they feel they arn't paying their fair share for use of the roads. It's something like $100-150 a year. NC has gone so far as to not...

    ATF red dye?

    Hit the nail right on the head. DOT is just used to assosiating red with non-taxed and tickets, so a officer may not realize the same is true for black. I keep a binder in the truck with a copy of my blender reports in case of any questions. I was told I this was good enough for NC DOT by NC...

    ATF red dye?

    Mix it with a little waste engine oil, it'll turn it all black. I'm getting alot of trans oil but the few oil changes that are going into the bucket turn it all black. Don't forget just using any type of waste oil is very similar to using red dyed fuel due to your still not paying road tax on...

    injection pump going bad?

    Would this be the same for the LDT? Wow 70 psi is alot for a 40 yr old designed lift pump. This sounds like something I might try in the future for ease of mind between maint. Thanks!

    injection pump going bad?

    Do you think a pressure guage mounted on the engine would hold up as a permenant mod for quickly checking fuel pressure for those of us that run WMO? Or would vibrations be too much and a remote mounted guage be a better choice?
