Did a little more work today. Fuel pump, filter, & hose fittings installed. Had to modify the suction piping on the pump since it was to long. Removed the telescoping part, trimmed it to 3/4in above the tank bottom, & cut 2 V's into it. Tried the paint on the tank to see how well it will coat...

I guess since it was being abused in Texas, they make you request a permit number in order to buy off-road diesel. It doesn't cost anything to have but you have to apply. Similar to how you need to apply for an agriculture number here in order to not pay sales tax instead of just being able to...

ATI has the DOT Exemption approval with them so they're approved for on road transport. There's a large placard on the side for it... part of the reason why the tank is so much more costly than other options. Doesn't mean there hasn't been rule changes. I'm calling about dyed diesel permit from...

Sure! Aluminum Tank Industries model ATI-TTR50 with the tabs welded in a different place so they match the rails on the trailer. Here are the dimensions that I ordered. It is a 50 gallon tank. Here is a link to where I ordered from...

Tank came in Thursday as expected. Didn't get to even open it until today. House was hit with lightening this week & have been dealing with repairs. Did mount the tank today! Tabs lined right up as I measured. Had to trim one a bit to get the right angle ball valve on. No big deal. Nice &...

I like that adjustable tongue mount. Want to find that part for mine.

Got shipping confirmation for the fuel tank. Should be here Thursday. :)

That was my hope.... when people catch wind of the needed modifications, they can just search & the video will pop up on YouTube & make it simple.

Definitely will share once it comes in on how it fits & what I did. I have 2 ways of hooking it up in mind... spring locked ball valve or a 24v solenoid. Ball valve would just be manually opened when needed. The 24v solenoid could easily be wired in series with the auxiliary fuel pump. When the...

Tinkered a little with the generator today. Varistors for the MOV mod came in. Installed. Was pointed out to me that the fuel cap had an open & closed setting... didn't realize that. Removed it & put it where the small arms are a bit tighter inside the cap. Maybe was leaking as it was...

Thanks. Couldn't do it without the help here!

Here is what I did in video form; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OpN649YuCk Here is a link to my thread where I discuss wiring; https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?188781-M116A3-Fix-up-amp-Conversion-Thread&p=2220190&viewfull=1#post2220190

So, when I was looking up all these parts, I found a cool solution for those that want to trailer to ride more level. Toledo Part number 10634. Can't seem to find it anywhere though. Might be a more cost effective solution for getting the trailer to ride level with multiple civilian or...

Alright so the Monroe shock came in yesterday. Long story short... close but no cigar. Was worth the try! The very difference in size for the mounting points gave me a hard time but could be done. I was able to force it onto the front mounting point but then quickly realized that the shroud...

I appreciate that friend but my 5 pack arrived yesterday. I'm sure others will need some. :)

The curb weight on the trailer is 2200lbs with the generator. I weighed it. My truck is 9800lbs curb weight. If this doesn't work, I'll just bolt the brake lock & be done with it. I will only pull this trailer 800 miles a month tops on 2 trips. This trailer doesn't need a brake on it at all...

I ordered the Monroe shock. Going to give it a try... guess I'll be the test dummy! Will document everything once I get it working or it doesn't work then post a post-op de-brief. Hopefully this is be a much cheaper solution for those needing & that don't mind something slightly different. I...

You're not wrong but that doesn't mean something else can't also work just as well with minor changes & ingenuity.
