    I was wondering if there were any veggie oil burners or bio processing folks out there in the central Illinois area? I live in Wenona. I have a BioPro 190 processor. But also have a piece that I believe could handle 500 gal at a time. Any locals that might be interested or have knowledge, I...

    Thoughts on dropping 12 valve in an F450

    I have an ‘89 Dodge D250 auto with a 12 valve (motor and tranny are great) and a ‘90 F450 auto IDI (tranny is messing up). I want to put the Cummins in the Ford.

    fuel return priming system...

    More of my ramblings... I dislike the Battery setup Ford uses. If the power cable between batteries becomes corroded in anyway, the power delivered from drivers side battery is useless. I make all my own cables up and always run power to starter from both batteries and connect both positive...

    I have a 91 f450 that gave me these same problems and am in process of adding a couple check valves and maybe a cheap electric pump. I have a 91 f350 with the pump installed.

    fuel return priming system...

    I hope I ain’t pissing anybody off. I am not a mechanic. I work on my own old stuff because I was brought up poor. I can usually get by on older.

    fuel return priming system...

    Question? Why couldn’t one put a check valve into the line returning fuel to filter? It would benefit by not allowing fuel to be “sucked” from filter while sitting yet still allow excess fuel to be returned to filter posing less “push” on return to tank lines while running?

    Centrifuge RPM

    anyone have knowledge of what RPM works best to remove particulates from WMO? Or is this stupid question? I would think “faster is better” but is there an rpm that works best?
