MEK also works sometimes.

I had to run my house from my 003 last night for about 5 hours. Kept the AC going. I don't store extra diesel. I always keep the tanks on my two deuces full and pull from them with the auxilliary pump. If you have a diesel powered vehicle, this works great and you don't have to worry about...

I was blocked from access by my employer to another MV site due to a posting, and this was non-governmental.

Ditto? Also, have you changed the secondary filters?

Unfortunately, burning hydrogen in a vehicle has one big drawback. Hydrogen is a very small atom and it is extremely difficult to keep fuel systems tight enough to prevent hydrogen leakage. Utilization of propane or natural gas as a fuel is much easier. Also, although the combusion of...

That is one cool project! The end result looks very good. Thanks for sharing.

There are a lot of conflicting opinions on Interstate 6TL batteries. My A2 that I picked up several years ago had Interstate 6TLs in it and one finally failed this year. They both had date codes of 2005, so they provided around 7 years of service from them. I bought new 6TLs as replacements. I'm...

I think you have dead batteries. It could be bad batteries, bad alternator, etc. If you have jumper cables, charge the batteries one at a time with your car using jumper cables. Before charging, check the electrolyte level as rickf suggested above. Make sure you use distilled water to bring...

Turn on the headlights. Are they bright? This is a qucik and dirty method of checking batteries. Start with the simple things first. Don't assume you have a bad relay or solenoid. I would remove all battery cables and clean the terminals. Charge the batteries. If you don't have a 24 V charger...

That hose setup is one of the worst cases of bad engineering I have ever seen. Everytime the wheel is turned, that hose flexes and tears very quickly. I shortened mine and lengthened the two air lines that feed into it and let them take the flexing instead. It works much better that way.

Go with Gillespie from RAPCO.

I've used 24087 on my A2 engine and it holds up great. I've not used 383 on an engine, but I did use 383 green on the exhaust stack of my A3 and it is failing rapidly.

If the in-tank pump is working properly you can hear the fuel being returned to the tank when the master is on with the engine not running. I don't know how well you filter the WMO, but it needs to be well filtered. I would start from scratch. 1. Make sure air filter isn't clogged. 2...

I work with radioactive materials daily and have access to all kinds of radiation survey instruments. Anyone in the North Georgia area that ever wants to get their MV and especially their gauges tested, please send me a PM. I will also bring instruments to the 2012 Georgia Rally if anyone...

I went back today and looked at the halftrack again. It is still there, although another guy was manning the site. He informed me that they have had a significant number of phone calls due to my thread. He also said that he believes the family will take $2500.00 for it. This is undoubtedly a...

I've seen a lot of these for sale on Ebay. There have been a lot of guys removing the CTIS from A3s so you should be able to find them easily, perhaps for free.

Welcome to the site from another North Georgia member. You've come to the right place. Enjoy your CUCV.

We need more information. What is the history of your deuce? Has it ever run since you obtained it? How long has it been sitting? Strong batteries?
