That totally makes sense. :beer:

Yep, mines an A2. I didn't even think about you possibly having a different application until you wrote "CAT 3116". It all makes sense now. :) Deuce007: as previously discussed, using a spray can will do in an emergency but is more difficult and more dangerous.

Yep. That's about the going rate for an 18oz can. Just trying to figure out if I can save $15 and get 3oz more juice. :) I did a brief search for that Cat number. Any place online to get it?

Neither of my valves have a part number. Stamped into the body of the valve, they both have: QUICK START PRODUCTS - U.S. PAT. NO. 3966097 ROCHELLE, IL. 61068 - - - 6 CC MEASURED SHOT One of them has a sticker on the solenoid that has the Quick Start logo and the following numbers...

Found a local shop that has 21oz cans in stock for $24.24. Will be picking one up to see if I can make it work. Hmm... on second thought, maybe I'll see if I make it work with a shorty propane cylinder first. No sense wasting money if it's not necessary.

Bummer. Just called O'Reilly and they can't get the $23 cans any more. They're happy to sell me a $45 can, though! :roll: If I can't find any 18oz cans at local truck stops, I'll be seriously looking into switching over to the 21oz cans.

Good to know, thanks! O'Reilly shows the cans on their web site but it shows as "currently unavailable" so I'll have to stop in and see if they can still get them around here. I'm curious why you went with a 2cc valve, though. Both of mine say 6cc.

Ok, just spent some time underhood. Truck 1: Ether start system Orange bottle, no brand, empty Quickstart brand solenoid assembly Bottle gasket absent Verified 24v to solenoid wires when actuating switch in cab Verified solenoid operation by jumping to 24v power (off truck) Temperature switch...

My misunderstanding on the flame heater. I'll post up what I find on my sensors/brands/etc. I have a truck with an empty cooling system so it'll be easy enough to take things off and check them. In your experience, is there any reason the bottle bracket couldn't be modified to accept the...

I did click the link and that's definitely what it says for current systems but it could be that maybe the specs of the system changed over the years? Are all of the military systems made by Kat's? I read that some of them were made by QuikStart. *shrug* I'm just spitballing, here. I'm...

Saw that video posted a few times already! How sure are you of that number? Is that the original system or the aftermarket? Everything else I've read says that the military ether system is switched at 20°, not 50°. I suppose it would be easy enough to check it with a thermocouple, DVOM and a...

I read somewhere that there are two different nozzle sizes, though. Apparently there is a 7/8" neck and a 1" neck. The Kat's bottles have a 1" neck. This is all just conjecture at this point. Once I get home I'll pull my bottle off and see what I can see but for now I'm just trying to see if...

See post #15, above. No googling necessary. I noticed that all of the pictures of all the Kat's systems are exactly the same, regardless of stated bottle size (18 oz or 21 oz) or actuating system (24v automatic, 24v manual or cable), so I have my doubts as to whether or not that picture is...

To?

Anybody know if the cheaper 21 oz. bottles will fit on the milspec systems?
