I installed the new Olympic Controls in-tank fuel pump today.
These guys are a pure joy to do business with. The new pump went in within a half hour and works like a charm --- I'm delighted.
One of the attached pictures shows three pumps that I paid anywhere fron $160.00 to $190.00 "plus...
Here is a civi alcohol injection system. It's mounted below my pre-lube pump.
These pictures were taken with the grill and radiator removed. One of the pictures shows the round filler area.
RE: SuperDave
I've been told the civilian 230s had higher compression heads than the military versions. Supposedly, It had something to do with the military versions having lower compression so they could be compatible with low quality gas. Has anyone heard this before?
I've got a line on a...

Tommy --- are you saying you have a horizontal 275 gallon fuel oil tank mounted in the back of your deuce?
I just ran across a 275 gallon lay-down tank and have been thinking about buying it an mountiing it on my deuce.

I don't know how it is in South Texas or other parts of the country but we don't dare use off-road (red) diesel in Minnesota. The law even stop and sticks the tanks on pickups up here. The fine is stiff.
I'm told the process they use to test for off-road involves...
RE: Re: RE: Fuel in oil? cause
I thought when you bypass the FDC you were suppose to turn down the main fuel setting --- possibly even the droop screw.
I'm also in the process of doing business with Gulfway. I'm currently with Continental Western and feel I can do better.
It's good to hear that other SS members are having good results with Gulfway.
Good luck with your new ride.
RE: Re: Pre-oiler Pump?
Here is a thread that shows the system I built.

Because I live in a cold climate I chose to go with the pre-lube pump and high efficiency inverted top of block mounted...
When I installed the LDS engine in my deuce I was a little concerned that there might be a capacity problem with the standard deuce air breather. After all, the standard 5-ton (LDS) air breather is much larger than the deuce breather.
I recently installed a gauge vacuum gauge immediately...

Yes. I put an elbow in the end of the tube and ran a hose back approx 30". I made sure that there was an incline so water/ice can't form in the tube.
It doesn't bo much good. A lot of odor still gets in the cab especially when idling now that I'm not running a fan. The other...

Ouch --- this isn't good news as I've bypassed my FDC.
I thought the only thing the FDC really did was to allow the same amount of pedal with all fuels. In other words, with heavy oil and the FDC bypassed, you wouldn't have to use as much throttle as you would with straight NR-2...
RE: Engine Pictures So Far
Looks like a standard LDT-465 Multi with a C turbo and a thick deck (TD) block. The thick deck is desireable.
It could be a Continental, Hercules or White. They are all the same engine
Here is a picture of a stainless steel setup I purchased via Dan Stiglitz Tel: 414-305-1670.
With this, you can carry on a conversation while driving down the road.
Evidently, someone used lock-tight on the allen plug that blocks the access to the droop screw on my IP pump.
Because of space restrictions I haven't been able to use an impact wrench.
Any opinions about maybe applying a little heat --- just enough to soften up the lock-tight with a small...
