Does anyone know the civvy version for the oil filter on a diesel MEP 701A? I'll find the NSN this evening if that would help. I think it's printed on the filter.
Here's the open-to-the-public website to help convert coal into diesel and a few other goodies as well. I'll be working/learning on this in my spare time and with Ken. This is an open invite for anyone else to help out with figuring this bugger out. www.fischer-tropsch.org .

Well all, here's some pics of the trip from San Antonio back home. We got three new-to-us Deuces and a CUCV along with a bunch of equipment as well. Fun had by all.
Just in! Fresh from the camera pics! Here's a couple of pics of DK's new-to-her CUCV. She's really excited about it!
Well, I'm having problems with posting the pics. More as time goes on.
