Great posts!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Not hard... I've looked up the MSDS for most octane boosters. They were all listed as "90% Kerosene".That ethanol in gasoline is the sorriest form of theft there is. Every time I am out of town far enough, I buy 'real' gas and enjoy the power and economy. Not only does the ethanol adulteration of the gasoline cost more and will never make a profit because it costs more to grow and process the corn than is the benefit of using it in fuel. It only eats up government subsidies paid to farmers so they don't go broke growing the unprofitable stuff, It makes less power and does no good at all. It's garbage. It's a greenie's dream of forcing others to comply with a false idea.
It's time we figured out the exact compositions of products like injector cleaner and octane booster and RXP - that stuff that cost 7.00 per ounce and cleans up the worst engine to pass emissions. WE could make all of that stuff ourselves I bet. I got to ask the resident chemists, what can I do to gas to counteract the 10% ethanol and get my wrongfully stolen economy and power back? I think adding diesel might help, since it has more BTUs than gas, while ethanol has less. ??
Well, better not come to Oregon, or fill up in Idaho or Washington on the way here. That, or pack cans of unleaded here with you. Diesel you can pump yourself, unleaded you can not.Im sorry but if im in Oregon I will flat out REFUSE to let someone else pump my fuel. Im very particular about my vehicles. I wouldnt want gas in my Deuce and id be pretty pissed if an attendant got gas all over my Mustang.
Seen this alot and have got lotsa deuce fuel just for this reason . Usually nothing serious happens. Just pump out the gas, re fill it with diesel and it should be good to go. Mind you, this has been on direct injected engines. If it runs OK after it starts, the glow plugs could have been hurt or it might be a coinkiedink that the GP card took a dump at the same time...stranger things have happened.Well, I've gotten a tankfull of gas in my M1028. Just bought the thing. Day one, hour one. Took it to the station and unbeknownst to me, they filled it with gas. Almost a full tank, maybe about 7/8ths, and I didn't know. Well, it started acting up of course. Hard starting. Stalling. No starting. Off to the mechanic she goes. 4 weeks there. New fuel pump. (You can cuss these guys all you want.) Still not running, and they quit. they never did figure out that it was filled with gas. Next mechanic figures that out in about 30 minutes. Gets some special pump and pumps out all the gas. (Mechanic 1 had really worked it all through the system, drivin around on the highway and so on.) After pumping out all the gas, she still isn't right. Will only start with ether. Mechanic 2 is done. Off she goes to mechanic number 3, where she is now. And has been for almost 6 weeks! And they don't have a clue of what to do.
It was a good truck. Passed Virginia state inspection right before I bought it. Now I'm afraid it's FUBAR. Any last words?
