    Did a Steel Soldier Site Search (Gasket + Bridge truck + gas + fuel filter + R6602) but nothing came back :(

    Here are some results from the citrate treatment on the fuel tank. Longer resting times, 2+ hours on a side with periodic agitation, yielded better results. Dipping a toilet brush in the fluid and scrubbing the fuel strainer rail also helped the dried detritus. Only problem was I couldn't place...

    Did a Steel Soldier Site Search (Gasket + Bridge truck + gas + fuel filter + R6602) but nothing came back :(

    My 5 lbs of citric acid arrived. The fuel tank set overnight full of water. When I came out in the morning there was a petro chemical film in each of the opening. Letting it sit, full of water, must have floated the remaining residue to the surface. Not knowing how the ' Ultimate HOMEMADE Rust...

    Did a Steel Soldier Site Search (Gasket + Bridge truck + gas + fuel filter + R6602) but nothing came back :(

    Not wanting to wait on delivery of the paper fuel filters or cork gaskets I made a paper one for the bowl and used a #238 gasket from a harbor freight assortment for the insert. Not a bad R&R. Time to start the multi-tasking. Get the batteries topped off. Start the fuel tank soaking, 1st a...

    @Joe Bertram - My similiar battles (6'8" geezer bending under the fender on un-even ground to work on the filter) have paid off, I got the old girl to run today. Pro tip - get a couple threads started on lines & mounting bolts, but leaving it all loose. Then when everything is connected together...

    Thanks again WillWagner. Wow NDT you are right, its the match, and there is a heap of various AC type T-2 fuel filter stuff out there. Even an aftermarket paper filter element. Much appreciated.

    Sweet, Thank you Guyfang. Much appreciated. This site has so many helpful moderators. :clinto::naner::beer: Has anyone ever run across a company with a catalog of common gaskets. Sort of like what McMaster Carr does but with way more gasket products? It would be nice to be able to put in...

    Found a great build by WillWagner for most things R6602 on a wrecker. It seems paper gaskets are the answer. Time to get the X-acto . The next Project an ASMH Also looks like I need to find out what fuel pump is on it for a rebuild as well. Thanks WillWagner.

    Looking for info and telling a story (so I don't forget) about a 5 ton Bridge truck, so I hope this is the correct forum / section. Decided I should try, yet again, to get Oso's Bridge truck running and parade ready in time for this years Veterans Day Parade, since I have failed miserably since...

    Baffles in or baffles out?

    Thanks for the beautiful picture. You made my overcast, smoke filled, day. Thinking I may have screwed up the baffles during my repair I went back and looked at the the rig's original pictures. When I recovered the truck from Ft. Hill I had a bit of a '5 Ton Woe' in Burley, Idaho and had to...

    Dashes Direct final install pics.

    That looks very nice. Great job. Maybe use a heat gun/hairdryer and a couple putty knives to finesse the plastic on the passenger side door jamb. Pull the weather seal out of the way first. Then use a ratchet strap between door hinges with blocks of 2x4 on the face of the dash. to lightly...
