    Fort Gordon, Augusta GA, event?

    I for one had planned to attend, but scheduling got snagged by the dual fuel tank project among other things. Got a msg some time ago that it will happen again this year, I'll try to find it, meanwhile, like Cabell said, shoot Doc Scheffler a line.. I't actaully closer for me than Aberdeen.

    Fort Gordon, Augusta GA, event?

    I really wanted to go, planned it for months, but complications have arisen, my father in law had a severe stroke a couple of weeks ago and my wife decided it best for her to leave for California. This has effected the schedule and I may not be able drive down to Augusta next week after all...

    I'll be going down I-77. It's a straight shot for me and it would be great convoying again. ______________________ Bjorn MVPA 19212 1968 M49A2C modified. 1972 HIAB 765A crane and 1960 M756 pipeline truck bed. 11.00-20 NDCC singles. M103A3 trailer. CURRENTLY WORKING ON: Vehicle wiring, adding...

    This event is coming up at the end of this month, so this is just a reminder. I'm still planning on going, but need a bunch of little things done to my deuce...

    It was good to see you again, James, you are welcome to stop by at any time and I'll try to keep you up to date on the biodiesel stuff. If you don't have a source of used cooking oil, there isn't much one can do. I collected poor quality oil from a pizza place for about 6 months and only really...

    Fort Gordon, Augusta GA, event?

    At 90% (biodiesel to petro diesel) the power is very nearly the same, can't really tell, BUT the turbo boost is down a couple of psi and the EGT runs cooler, so I suspect that there is a difference in power. Fuel consumption is up, 7-8 mpg vs 8-9 for straight petro diesel. My formula, which is...

    Kenny, send me a sample of the oil you can get. I can process it and compare it to the result I get from the oil I'm using here. The oil in the fryer at the restaurant here, is kept at 360 degrees. If the temp isn't much above that then the amount of contamination shouldn't matter IMHO. Now it...

    Kenny, if you go, what will you be driving? Same config as Aberdeen? I'm serious about the extra cooking oil (not biodiesel). Would it help for next year's Aberdeen and can you load 30-40 5-gallon jugs? They are plastic jugs enclosed in stackable cardboard boxes 10x10x16 inch size. Each weigh...

    Fort Gordon, Augusta GA, event?

    I have taken the liberty to copy this post below from the mil-veh list. It would certainly be of interest to me and probably many of you Southerners could help make it happen. Kenny (recovry4x4) is planning a trip to rdixiemiller later this summer and could perhaps extend his trip a little and...
