    Mineral oil as fuel

    Start with small %'s first. Mabye run a tank with 5% min oil to diesel first. That's what i did with used motor oil. If it runs good, then go up to 10%. and so on. I prolly wouldn't go more than 30% max.But before you dump it in. Pour a small amount into a glass jar. Then add some diesel. You...

    Deuce transfer case problems - metal pieces

    Since you can hear the sound when you shift the case into netrual. I would start looking at the input shaft bearings. The other shafts and gears won't be turning when in netrual. If you lift up the passenger seat and pull the t-case tunnel off you'll see 4 bolts on top of the t-case. Pull that...

    Alternative fuels for diesel: impact on emissions?

    BC, The stuff i get here is B99.9. I get it at www.houstonbiodiesel.com . I don't know of any place locally that sells B20. B20 being 20% bio and 80% regular diesel. I would think B20 would still clean the fuel system but not as quickly as the B99 does. I think bjorn is running B100 for his...

    Used motor oil

    In Texas as long as it's not B100 it's a additive. If you by B100 it's taxed a lot!!! Most places here sell B99.9 . That way it's added to diesel and not considered the main fuel by the state. Pretty suipid in my book. But on the other hand the state is tring to clean up the air a bit and they...

    Alternative fuels for diesel: impact on emissions?

    Earl, Lee is right Bio will clean everything. It will knock everything loose and plug up the filters. I've tried it in my car and trucks. It plugged the filters after about 500 miles. It must have cleaned the injectors also because black smoke was greatly reduced even when switching back to...

    I see your here in houston also. If you get a chance swing by the meseum and check it out. I think it started out life as a gas model and was upgraded. It has the same frame as the 3KW gas gensets

    DISCUSSION - Slobbering Multifuel Cure?

    Jimk, If your truck is getting only 5mpg, something is wrong. It should easly get at least 10MPG. You mentioned smoke. Mabye the injector nozzles are dirty? Santa, could you cut holes in the wood to let air through while driving? Or would the wood crack? Since your fan has a shroud i don't...

    DISCUSSION - Slobbering Multifuel Cure?

    I've been thinking of taking a extra fan i have to work and cutting half of the blades off. Then rebalencing it. I think it gets too hot here to use it in the summer. But it might cut down on some of that under hood noise.
