    Adding in-tank fuel pump to M818

    I have six of the nice fuel pumps that were on ebay several years ago; not an issue. I can use the fuel level switch/ relay to control which pump is on. What I am wondering if there is any technical negative to feeding ~7psi to the PT pump.

    Adding in-tank fuel pump to M818

    I have an M818 with NHC250, is there any reason not to install M35A2 fuel pumps into the M818 tanks? I realize that the opening in the tank needs to be enlarged but it seems that supplying pressurized fuel would be beneficial. I already have all the parts so cost is not an issue.

    Deuce Engine years of manuf. by producer

    In short, NO. There is a great book about Allis Chalmers (Plow Peddlers) wherein the author discusses this in words that I can't put on this forum.

    Cummins PT pump tach drive question

    I am in the same situation and bought the tool to remove the tach drive assembly. Once it is out, do I simply press the old shaft out of the gear and press the new shaft into the gear?

    DIY Injector Servicing

    For the onan, I used the same ferrule as the multifuel. Unfortunately, to get a fitting, I had to cut one off a spare onan injection line. I never thought I'd need a generator where I live but we lost power last summer during a massive storm. Went from daylight to black as night in the time...

    Where to send fuel injectors for service?

    It isn't very hard to do. I posted a thread with part numbers showing how to adapt the multifuel injector to an import pop tester.

    DIY Injector Servicing

    I have found that most (at least all that I have encountered) injector issues are due to the pintle being stuck/ sticky. Freeing it up and cleaning it up has been sufficient to put it back in service. There are low cost injector pop testers on Amazon for less than $100 which work fine. My pop...

    Ring to pinion backlash question

    All, I appreciate your suggestions. However, none of what has been posted makes me feel any better about keeping this differential. I bought what was advertised as in "good" condition from a truck with low miles and this one is not.

    Ring to pinion backlash question

    Rusty and Mullaney, thanks for the insight. I agree that the differential should not be run as is. What I am wondering is will it likely be OK once the backlash is set properly or should I try to get a differential that is in better condition?

    Ring to pinion backlash question

    I purchased a deuce differential assembly with the intent of installing an ARB air locker, then swapping that with the one currently in the rear of my bobbed deuce. The ring to pinion backlash is ~0.020" versus the spec of 0.005" to 0.015". While there are shims that can be removed to move...

    Continental's CMD-350; a 350HP multifuel engine

    If you do a "google scholar" search, you can limit results to journal publications. A search for "continental aviation variable compression ratio" yields two interesting papers: "A variable compression ratio engine development" by W. A. Wallace of Continental and F. B. Lux of the Army Tank...

    Continental's CMD-350; a 350HP multifuel engine

    Continental developed a 350HP engine based on the 478 cubic inch "multifuel" engine. Some interesting features other than the power output: Variable compression ratio: a high of 17:1 and a low of 10:1 The BSFC was 0.380 lb/ hp*hr which is actually better than the LDS engine Still using the...

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    Continental's design literature states that the manifold is heated to improve cold weather operation.

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    The intake is heated (this is described in the Continental literature). If the intent were to cool thi intake charge, they wouldn't be running the coolant exiting the engine through the intake. I don't think anyone actually proved that the LDS rockers had a different ratio.

    Extended driveshaft cost…

    Driveshafts have a critical speed beyond which they can whip. Here is a link to a calculator of that speed: https://spicerparts.com/calculators/critical-speed-rpm-calculator
