    Hmmm

    I've got part of an old biodiesel plant that would work there ..... petrol/ diesel mix would run through the heater which should boil the petrol out of the diesel - straight diesel then and if you captured the petrol fraction from the boiler, you'd have straight petrol too. I'm still running my...

    I like to set up a truck for regular towing what spec's should it have?

    A good transmission cooler , a quality brake controller and a good wireless reversing camera that can be mounted on the rear of the trailer to monitor what's on your tail.

    gas cans, do you think this guy is right?

    Thankfully we are so far behind you guy's law-wise , we still have the type where the nozzle is held in by the cap and a vent cap on the opposite side. I have used the cheap 12v pump ($8.50) for the 20 litre plastic square oil containers that get re-purposed into diesel/WTO containers.

    frick #3 ammonia compressor oil

    Good to know thanks, We just got 4000 litres of that given to us from the local meatworks and have been wondering if it would be okay ......... we'll now find an alternative use for it.

    Where's Possum Truck?!!

    I would love a wrecker like you have ..... the equivalent of that here is at least 40k. We haul most things with a trailer or old underpowered ramp trucks unless you have gold lined pockets for a slide deck.

    Where's everyone at?

    Fingers crossed but i haven't had anything go wrong on either mine, my fathers or my brothers powerstrokes apart from a leaking oil cooler in the last few months. Allthough i did discover that my dad's one has collapsed the standard air filter after only a couple of thousand km...... he's...

    Oil burning heaters

    I just re read your original post .... i brought an old coal fired boiler which used to run those big old cast iron radiators that some people had in their homes - we had similar in our old high school. The unit i have ran 10 radiators and i converted it to waste oil by fitting a forced fan...

    Waste Transformer Oil

    So far i've burnt 1500 litres of the transformer oil in the powerstroke , seems to have a little more power and doesn't smoke at all. When i first tried it i added 10% petrol as it was winter and the oil was noticeably thicker than diesel, after a couple of tanks i ran it at 100% and startup is...

    Oil burning heaters

    What about running one of those cheaper indian steam power generators .... use wmo instead of wood to fire it up. Failing that grab an older diesel engine like a 4jb1t isuzu which will run wmo just fine and hook it up to a generator.

    Frame mounted electric pump up to and through the fuel filter bowl , electrically switched unit injectors driven by a mechanically driven high pressure oil supply pump ... up to 21000psi fuel injection pressure

    bed supports

    I wish we'd see that here ... over 40 years old your rego goes down to $48 per year but still has 6 monthly safety inspections.

    Farmer Rock's crew cab and 12 valve swap....

    I have the ext cab too .... it is a pita at times especially if you want to take passengers. Does it look like much modification to the crew cab to make it fit on the ext cab chassis?

    Ran 25% w85 in my torpedo heater.

    Torpedo heater ... is that the horizontal forced fan burner that sounds like a jet engine in takeoff?

    What waste oil makes the best fuel

    My plan was to run an idi in my F150 ... never found one to sling in there but did wind up buying a written off 02 Super duty with the 7.3 psd which i repaired over time and managed to get it back on the road. I've got just over 4000km running it on used transformer oil which i prefilter with an...

    Auto diesel vs diesel #2?

    The govt doesn't trust us not to pay taxes lol (in my workshop business i have to "prepay" next years tax this year based on an estimate of my earnings)..... you always have to have mileage up front , if you get caught and you are less than 1000km over your mileage sticker then you'll normally...

    Auto diesel vs diesel #2?

    All our crude produced here is exported as it's considered "sweet/light" apparently. We do have a refinery but there is a lot of refined product imported as well. Our fearless leader of the current govt has put a moratorium on further exploration for oil but we have mapped out some pretty decent...
