news on troubleshooting multi-fuel that quit Just an update. I mixed my first tank of WMO (highly filtered) 20 gall to diesel 30 gall. The truck idled for 5 -10 minutes at the garage and then ran about 3 blocks before it just quit. It did not stutter, it did not lose revs, it just quit. I...

In this case it was all Chevron Delo 400, which is not synthetic, but it is something to remember for the future. I will get back to working on the truck on tuesday.

wow, sounds nice. post pictures!

I have to assume that the "bucket" idea was a jest. I have problems with it even being joked about. My cousin's husband was working on a truck. He had a neighbor sit on a bucket to help him move the truck, in the shop. Needless to say, the bucket fell over, the truck went out of control...

I know that in the Marine Diesel market, any new engines have to meet new requirements and more new requirments are coming down the road. Old vessels only have to meet new rules if they do a complete constructive rebuild of the ship (not normal overhauls or rebuilds). if you are going to take...

Steelandcanvas- I am assuming that the 5-10 psi reading is the output side of the in-tank pump (whichever side of the primary filters you are on). I also assume that the 40-60 psi readings are between the IP mounted gear pump and the IP. That is close to what the TM says you should see on the...

Thanks, SpecialK. Now that I have some pressure ranges, I can get my gauge package finalized. Have a great New Year.

Thanks for the reply. What kind of pressure do you see at the primary filter?

I have a 24V Battery tender on the two batteries in my M38A1. I leave it plugged in all winter. this is the second winter, no problem yet. I leave the batteries hooked up, I have the quick connect leads bolted on to the positive terminal of one batt and neg of the other. Then, I just plug...

fuel press gauge reply Thanks for the reply. That is great to know. I had spotted that bleed port as a good place to add a fuel pressure gauge line. Now I know what range of gauge to buy. Old school, but I like to see my fuel pressure, as well as exhaust temp and boost. so am setting up to...

Is anyone running a fuel pressure gauge on their multi-fuel? I am trying to figure out what pressure range to use. TM 9-2910-226-34 seems pretty clear at first 3 to 5 psi between the tank and the IP gear pump, then 60 to 80 psi between the IP gear pump and the hyd. head. Then the TM gets real...

congrats on the baby Mike!

I will try to attend. All of Aug is out due to MVPA Alcan12 convoy. Need to be in Dawson Creek by Aug 1, so that last July weekend is out also. Sounds like fun though.

Ditto- I just bought one for a spare. When I get it I will give it trial fit and report on the fitment and the electrical connections.

Probably should have started a new thread, didn't mean to hijack yours. Sorry

Here is a possible weekend display opportunity in Tacoma, for Feb. My mom is in a senior apartment community near Pt. Defiance in Tacoma. The Harley group shows up there for a show and lunch every year and the residents get a kick out of it. I was talking with the manager and asked if the...

Thanks for the ideas! I suspect Gimpyrobb is right. I was waiting on changing the fuel filters till I had run some WMO mix through them. Today was my last day at home before going back to my ship, so I just flat ran out of time to troubleshoot. I did check that I had fuel at the top of the...

I tried my first tank of WMO blend today and engine shut down after three blocks. I filtered the WMO through 1 micron filter and water separator. Good looking batch of lube oil that came out of a CAT engine I manage. I mixed 20 gallons of WMO with 30 gallons of straight diesel. Engine has...

It must be catching! Took my M35A2 out today with it's first tank of 30% WMO. I had filtered this WMO with a 1 micron filter and water separator. The truck ran great for three blocks then stopped! Anyhow, don't want to hijack your thread, I will post my own. Good luck with your issue.

I made it last year without MV, maybe with MV this year! Thanks for the heads-up. Will that nice HEMTT be there again?
