The Ford steering pump I got after the first one started leaking must be internally different - tripped motor thermal switch within 10 seconds of running at 80psi. Yes, there are many things I could have done to remedy that, but I didn’t want to.
Fuge setup and two tank stuff are all for sale...
Went on vacation for two weeks. Before I left, fuge pump started leaking terribly out of the seal. Bought a reman pump to replace it, hopefully getting that going tonight again. Another $35 on the WMO investment tab slowing me from actual savings... what a pain getting all this going again has...
I was fighting similar problems where it would wind up and after a few minutes very clearly lose lots of RPM in a short period of time. Different than the gradual pressure loss as the oil thins from warming.
Initially, I found that replacing the bronze bushings helped. After a couple batches, I...
Hit some setbacks last week. Slowly went from a noticeable power loss which switching back to diesel to eventually not even being able to idle on either fuel. Ended up needing to replace my injection pump. Most likely scored barrels and plungers.
I had some applesauce veg I blended with gas to...
Ran mine with above direct drive setup for close to 30hrs on this first batch. 80psi with what's probably the thickest batch it will ever see. Motor was warm, about 180* but consistently stayed there.
Any idea why? Even with the two tank setup? Really trying to avoid that. I'm hoping running homemade fuel almost exclusively on the highway and all of my around town driving being done on diesel with Power Service mixed in will help. Though it sounds like that's what you did... and are still...
Finally going with this stuff.
Had to replace pump and bushings in the centrifuge and running good now.
Drove to work today on free fuel. Working great so far.
Ahhh ok. Yeah, I would start cutting with 10-20% gas while fuging. That's what I have always done and seems to be common practice. You could probably dial the D2 percentage back a little if you want to keep your total WMO percentage at 50%.
Works great, but electric motor is getting got. Ran for about an hour last night and IR temp gun was reading 190* and climbing. Current blend is a little thick and pressure set at 90psi, hoping thinning it out a hair and running at 80psi will keep it sustained at a cooler temp.
I don't remember...
