Ya, it probably is up to the manager and wondering what the person is going to do with it. They could get in trouble with one person doing something stupid with it. Having known him helps.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
While the basic oil is good for fuel as dicussed, aren't the additives somewhat bad for the seals?
I would think that perhaps a 70 / 30 mix with the 30 being gas or kerosene or diesel being slightly better just to dilute the additives in the ATF.
The injections pumps are very costly to overhaul so that is my only concern.

Automatic transmissions have many seals inside that must work exactly right for the trans to function. Obviously if ATF damaged seals automatic transmissions would be impossible to sell since they would be failing alot.While the basic oil is good for fuel as dicussed, aren't the additives somewhat bad for the seals?

I know arguing with a cop on the side of the highway doesn't always end well but the difference in the smells is dramatic. The viscosity is quite different also.Not sure how MI is but if you get caught driving with something red in your tank in TX you'll get a hefty fine since they'll assume it's dyed diesel. I doubt telling them it's ATF will matter even if you could prove it.
Same here, but winter I put a heater lines in the tank from the engine, and just bought the fatty wagons line kit for the injectors.I don't know why you guys think the multi-fuel engine is so special. My '92 7.3 idi will run off of most anything. Winter is a bit different as I don't have a guel heater yet.
It's a duece thing. Some people will never really understand.I don't know why you guys think the multi-fuel engine is so special. My '92 7.3 idi will run off of most anything. Winter is a bit different as I don't have a fuel heater yet.
I hear ya, there is only so much bread in my loaf lately, been working on it. Having a M-109 delivered this weekend from GA. Then I have to work on storage and the like as discussed. Rome was not built in a day. Good looking out Tie.Hey Don, too bad you don't have something like a 1200 gallon tanker truck, you could have really scored a huge deal
There's a DOT officer on this site?Don, your DOT should show a rule where it states if you haul that in the container it has to be marked, fuel, wate oil, recyled, or hazwaste.
So, from what Greg who is a DOT officer in MI,,, you can get away with stating that its recyled or waste oil and since its under the 300 gal hazmat rules. You shoulndt be stopped. I will have Greg give me a copy of those rules for you and you can carry them in your truck with you. They pull you over, you show that and you are tfree to go.
