    Strangest items requireing an EUC

    Probably my favorite example of EUC stupidity was some trailer mounted AC units. 3/4 ton trailer. 5kW generator, and the AC unit. No EUC. But had just the trailer, or just the generator been sold, EUC city....

    WTB Military trailer mounted welder

    Robert Love has one in his yard in NC for sale, it is the big one powered by either a 2 or 3 cyl detriot mounted on a 2/5 ton trailer. Needs paint, but otherwise it is nice and complete from what I saw when I looked it over. Call him at 828-685-8775. He is in and out of the shop all day it it...

    Warner Robbins Ga. A2C's

    Happens everywhere. At Bragg it happeded with my MICLIC. I went down to get another lot and while I was there slapped a padlock on the BII box while I waited for my EUC. I showed up and somebody had ripped the hasp up getting in to it. They didn't take anything, but the scumbags ripped it up...

    How is this use and for What?

    Ahhh now I am not confused. My mind kept screaming PLS trailer but that data plate had me all confused. PLS trailer, used behind the PLS or HEMTT LHS. Towed behind this. The truck can slide the pallet on to the trailer. Kind of suprised to see one out there in a scrapyard so soon.

    Diesel

    I called my buddy who works for the NCSHP, he said they have field test kits for dye and the lab. If it looks red they field test, if it tests for dye they issue the citation and send the second sample to the lab for confirmation. If it looks red and the field test shows nothing, they send a...

    Deuce Fuel

    According to the state of NC it is not- maybe they require a different one for off road fuel sold here? I know the reports also list concentration of dye, maybe they base it on that.

    Why FreightTrain was banned...

    I agree, especially on the second account. I help moderate a very large forum where that is not allowed. They found that they cut down on scam artists and repeat accounts by requiring a "real" email to sign up. That is you had to use a work, military, or ISP email account. No yahoo, gmail, etc...

    Deuce Fuel

    In NC people were getting off charges by saying they had added ATF, so now the state sends any fuel sabple that comes out red to a lab, who checks to make sure it is fuel dye and not ATF. Then once it is confirmed to be fuel dye, the ticket is issued. That said, people running WVO and WMO in a...

    Miles per gallon T-case or transmission

    Just my .02 as somebody who has worked on these things for 17+ years- anything you change to increase fuel mileage is going to decrease performance and "felt" power. Instead, if it is range you are concerend about, I would look at adding more fuel capacity. If it is fuel cost, I would look at...

    Diesel

    Because of people claiming it was ATF or Marvel in NC whne you are caught they send a fuel sample to a lab where the determine if it is ATF or fuel dye.

    EUC Invoices

    GL is making money by holding money. Say what they want about this new policy, there is your real motivation. The sale is not done until the property is removed. So they don't have to pay the government. They get what likely amounts to millions of dollars every month "floating" in their...

    Diesel

    In NC non-commercial users running WVO are exempt from the tax requirement as long as your tax liability for the tax would have been under $2000. If you run it in a commercial vehicle, or run it in amounts where your tax on it would exceed $2000 in a year, then you have to pay the road use tax.

    Diesel

    In NC it is very common for them to show up at places where they know a lot of diesels will be and start dipping tanks. They love stockyards, farm shows and equipment auctions since farmers are most likely to have tanks full of off road diesel at home.

    gen trailers going cheap

    I need one of these, but no way to get it to NC. My MICLIC is actually a MOD3 so it belongs on one of these instead of an M200A1 (but you found MOD3's on the 200's often anyway)

    CUCV run on bio-diesel? CUCV vs Deuce questions..

    Whatever you do, if you use waste vegtable oil, make sure it is 100% water free- and this can be difficult. The stock fuel/water seperator/filter will NOT remove water from the WVO, and in fact the WVO is more likey to draw water into the system. In the Stanadyne pump this becomes a...

    Diesel

    Be prepared for some very hefty fines if the lawman dips your tanks and finds any red dye at all.
