Thank you! My brain rarely functions as intended by it's creator, or so I've been told. We may have to check the temp in H E double hockey stix if this idea is a good one... I'm wondering if it could be run on the common pedal arm and out the firewall, to operate WITH the standard brakes...

But... but.... I've been told I'm very smart, AND I can get something for nothing my whole life!!! rofl

Keep up the fight for freedom!

The emergency brakes are inadequate.... Pinion brakes aren't good enough for on-road use by themselves... But how tough would a GM master cyl and small tertiary brake pedal be to rig up to 1-2-or3 pinion brakes? The bracket/rotor kits are $120ea, calipers are $30-$40 ea. Just thinking of a...

:tin hat:

Makes sense... the Multifuel is timed early to help burn the low grade fuels it's designed to still run on. The methanol has a faster flame front propagation rate like propane, and the cylinder pressures would rise too quickly. I'm surprised more guys on here haven't lifted heads or shaken...

What problems did the meth cause for your multifuel? All the stuff I have read on other (Cummins) forums has been positive. I don't doubt you, but what were the symptoms? Was it pre-ignition?

Cheap, easy to fill, rated for 130psi, lighter than a steel brake tank, and impossible to open under pressure by accident. PLUS! Easily replaced and serviced for seals and valves. :not worthy: Have you found any data on how many ml/cc/gal per minute we should be metering for? I'm thinking that...

The lateral force isn't that high, it's mostly rotation and push-pull against the center pin. As cheaper/faster safety you could just weld a bar over the center that extends a couple inches past the rubber and prevented the loop from slipping off the shaft. An hour at most to cut up some rebar...

Glad you made it home safe!

And how do you keep your water from freezing?

I was under the impression all the marine M35s also were equiped with lockers, or was it only most or just some?

It should. If we can use old brake tanks for pressurized water/meth, and we are just using off the shelf adjustable Hobbs switches for each stage, we would only need to find a cheap common injector/nozzle or a nozzle and separate solenoid valve that can handle water/meth @ 125 psi and provide...

That is so good looking...

:beer:

That would seem to be the easy fix. (pull the axles/hubs) If you had lockouts you could just unlock them and roll. The driveshaft won't stop it... Actually, you only have to separate one side. The carrier can spin on the one just fine. You just can't have the front wheels turning at different...

Yeah... but we would need to inject it into the manifold that is already at 15psi... plus whatever pressure is required for atomization... 100-125psi seems to be the standard pressure the injector nozzles I see are flow rated at. I forget how it was done in the old Mustang days, but I seem to...

I was reading the threads on water/methanol injection systems for multi-fuels as a way to lower EGTs when the smoke screw gets cranked, or just for engine longevity. I was researching kits, and have noticed the expensive part is the pump... ...we don't need a pump. We have 125psi compressed...

Trying to get more boost at low RPMs without going too far on the high end? Or did you just get a good deal on a replacement? I can't wait to hear boost at X RPM reading you get out of her!

The idea is that the angle iron and the base/tie plates form a "cup" that the wood rests in... as tightly as possible. The wood is taking the compressive load, and for it to break, the steel would have to exceed it's tensile load. You aren't going to do that with 750lbs + weight of the...
