Running oil in a Deuce?

[randini]

perhaps it will not be a problem. But I have had problems before, pulling a blind cover off something. They go on easy, but sometimes hard to get off.

another note: the end cap non-ferrous, aka no magnet trick on this one...

what about running used motor oil for fuel? my cousin has a garage does oil changes can i use his old oil to run my rig im planning on buying? if so i won't need to buy diesel again after the initial pick up and drive home run

There is lots of info on waste motor oil (search function), in a Deuce. I do it, and It seems to run well on it.

hey randini, how did your o-ring replacement go? were you able to replace without removing the nozzle assembly?

Waste Motor Oil, also known as WMO, and Waste Vegetable Oil, WVO, are both popular alternative fuels.

As previously mentioned, do a SEARCH and then settle in for a few months-worth of reading

Hey Panshark, thanks for the thought. I am still thinkin..about how to do this. I have not done anything yet. So everytime I drive it, it drips on the hot Turbo...arrg. I beleive what I will do is;

remove the lock ring.
Rig some kind of bucket/bag under valve.
Turn electical on (tank pump) to see if this pressure pushes the end off the valve.
IF NOT, start engine (that pressure MUST force out end)

Then probably spend days cleaning up the mess I just made! I will do this on a cold engine, I dont want fuel running on a hot turbo. I will let you know how this works, or watch 10:00 new for explosion in Salt lake.....LOL

Hey man, I already spend too much time on KSL's site...One thing I might watch for is it popping out during your pre-start test for hydrostatic lock. If you're eyeballing it, it may come out enough for you to grab on with channel locks and then you're set!

jersey jeep, reference my post, you need to replace an O-ring in the near future! Good luck, it's a super easy fix. It will take 5-10 minutes.

Yup, just replaced said "O" ring. Wasn't too bad to change, I removed the injector because I didn't want the internal parts to wind up mixed in my driveway gravel. I inadvertently mixed up the 2 lines to the injector, and I tell you what.....it ran like like crap. I couldn't get the RPM's over 1800. Best way to describe it is as if the turbo wasn't working. I switched the lines back the next day and he is running as great as before, but with no more leakage...Thanx.

are you kidding?

when I took my lines loose, I thought they took different size wrenches to take them loose. I assumed the fittings were different sizes as well.

A lot of guys who never use the heater just cap those lines off and go... wonder why switching them would cause you to lose power.
