    At what point does a small beater car add up?

    I'm really liking my old M-B 300D, it gets about 30mpg, and could probably do a little better if I tracked down a boost leak that it almost certainly has- I'm not too keen on the way M-B did their air piping connections on the '82 but it's not a big fix. Henry only gets driven a couple days a...

    OK, this is making me mad...Electic fuel pump problems...

    x2 on the air leak, as it can only be bubble cavitation. None of the pumps listed in this thread are powerful enough to pull a true vacuum cavitation void, except (maybe) a duralift. I'm now running a Facet all fuels rated Gold-Flo that is frame rail mounted where the Holley Red used to be...

    Murphy SUCKS!!!

    Hey Heath, I'm a little surprised you didn't just go with hose for everything since you had it all down..:dunno

    painting the idi

    1000 is a ridiculous waste of time and sweat. That's what they make buffers for. If you don't think that clear fills a 600 finish then stand a little closer when you spray the first coat. 1500?! Are you serious? Why not just wipe it down with newspaper.. Oh wait, that might be too coarse. We're...

    Wellman glow plugs

    I know this thread was resurrected from the depths of history, but it does bring up an interesting point. My experience with Wellman's was not a happy one, Replaced all 8 at one time, within 6 weeks 3 of them had burned out. Don't know if I got a bad batch or what, but the problem certainly...

    painting the idi

    Wet sand with 600 then wash and wipe down well. One coat of clear and every 600 scratch immediately disappears... Let THAT dry, wet sand with 800, wash & wipe then put another coat of clear on it, 800 wet then buff & wax. People will be walking into phone poles and tripping over fire hydrants...

    tank screen or sock

    I considered doing the fuel hose thing but was leary of the possibility of it crumbling eventually with full immersion. Didn't want to buy a new shower head either as that was what failed in the first place. I eneded up straightening each of the double curves in the pickup tube a little bit and...

    Idle rpm ?

    Baby Moose & newish BB's - 850 to 900 hot or cold. No cold start.

    pumping wmo

    I got lucky, since I use the plastic barrels that have the graduations in 5 gallon increments molded into the sides, I just shine a flashlight in the bung and see how much oil is there so I know how much diesel to mix. I'm not particularly trying to sell anyone on how I do it, but there is a...

    pumping wmo

    There was a thread here during the winter that mentioned that and gave the government spec on it as no more than 10% by volume, however that was a limit allowable in military diesels and mixed with straight diesel fuel. From personal experience I have mixed 3-5% in a ~45% diesel/50% WMO blend in...

    pumping wmo

    ;SweetDitto on the pulleys for gpm, I also have a valve on my pickup line so I can "starve" the oil pump very precisely when I'm recirculating so as not to overrun the filter bag's flow through speed and make a mess. As the oil heats and blends you can gradually increase the gpm by opening the...

    pumping wmo

    Do you direct drive it? or does it go though a belt set up? Belt & pulley reduction because it's a stationary 110v system and also because I need the torque obtained from from the reduction to push oil through my centrifuge. For a mobile application I think I would just go to the pick & pull...

    Wow, don't I feel like a dumbass... What problems?

    pumping wmo

    Hey 'Neck, Sorry it took so long... I actually had to work at work today... The nerve of some people.LOL Anyway, this will help with the understanding. Drilling and tapping the pump body only takes a couple minutes and makes things a lot easier to set up.

    I FAILED emissions...horribly

    Not trying to be a smartass here, but let's be straight up about what you have... A MOOSE pump. Not a baby Moose, which would have worked just fine for just about anything you wanted to do with your truck and its stock turbo. A Moose Pump is modded to deliver fuel at levels beyond that which is...

    Yeah, my gut feeling was the same- but then I realized that the entire enclosed area was at a higher air pressure, because the dead air space behind the ports was under compression and essentially acted as a wall.

    pumping wmo

    I'll try to find a photo of one tomorrow and show you where to do the mods on it to simplify the set-up. Some J-B Weld, a little piece of 1/16" steel plate and a drill & tap. You can shoot a stream of oil like a fire hose...

    LOL! Yes, there is.. I was limited in my choice of location by the hood reinforcing channels on the interior of the hood and acceptable scoop aesthetics on the exterior. As in all things, a compromise.

    I'm Thinking Someone's Been Smoken a Fatty.

    Yeah, I emailed him also, this is his reply- Yes, they are new, and yes, there is a shortage of this injector now. Most shops are on backorder for 5 months for these. This is the current price from England since USA has the nation wide backorder. I do offer rebuilt at a great price, but some...

    a sollar oil heater for filtering WMO

    Boston, Couple of things.. If you coil some copper pipe around the exhaust pipe like 93cc7.3 said, even if the pump was off the oil would still thermosiphon on through. If you did this anywhere other than immediately behind the Y-pipe there would be very little danger of bad things happening...

    oldblue05, It works great, and even with the old pump (pre-Baby Moose) there was a noticeable difference in roll-on performance at 50 and above. Below that, all that ram (cool) air does is provide cooler denser (little more efficient) intake charge for the engine, with or without turbo and or...

    Truck doesn't start.

    A-T & Burt- I'm kind of surprised no one has asked this yet, but rough starting after four hours on the block heater in this weather (Live Oak, - right?) makes me wonder if it's spinning fast enough. My cold start solenoid is not even installed, but my GP's work properly and my starter spins...
