    Fuel question (I'm new to diesels)

    RE: Fuel question (I Actually, in warm weather, WVO will run fine in a deisel engine. In colder climates or the winter, it has a tendency to thicken up. There are kits you can get to make WVO more acceptable in all climates, and I am not sure what it takes.

    Last Minute Start Up Advise/Wisdom

    The first thing I would do is put some oil in the cylinders and allow it to stand for a day or so. Then I would see if I could turn the engine over by hand, just half a turn will do.

    M816 superior to M936

    Going to inspect my truck, questions

    Neg on one battery goes to ground. The positive of that battery goes to the negative of the second. The positive of the second goes to the solenoid and the rest of the truck. If you want to jump start the truck, the best way is to do it from another deuce, main positive to main positive...
