    timmy b if the tank has cancer problems id be all in favor of tank end cap removal be sure to reference mark the end so every thing gets back in the right place your local welding supply should have skinny wheels for a hand grinder grab 4or5 of them and simply cut the weld edge closest to the center of the tank the end cap should extend into the shell 1/4 to3/4 in. so just cut the first layer then if needed a little shot of compressed air should remove the cap. Its a little more work but a well repaired fuel tank is well worth the effort.

    that should be enough to make some fire wood, and make you regutter the house. sounds like we might get the same early next week as we come out of the deep freeze and transition to above freezing temps. going to be a damn mess if forecast is right

    re check gauge with a known good gauge. un thread fitting on block and test at block. Does oil pressure increase with eng. speed? does it decrease with eng. temp?

    timmyb yes the pin gun spot welds a nail to the surface and then allows for a slide hammer to grab the nail, then simply grind off when finished "no holes"
  14. gearhead204
    great info! I never knew of this being done on trucks. I did know of international harvester building a turbine powered tractor as a proto type

    timmyb with that steel tank you might try a pin gun. buddy up with a body shop guy and give it a try.if heat is needed drain tank and purge tank with carbon dioxide, then keep a supply of co2 going to the tank as you heat the area to be worked

    [quote name=" Incidentally, if you just STARTED a D.D. next to it, wouldn't the smoke be enough to choke it out? I had multiple thoughts on the Detroit line, the above was one of them but posted the first in the ole brain!

    does the eastern states hire private trucks to plow state or county highways? if so how damn much does insurance cost ? ive never seen this done on northwest states. citys yes county and state no, unless state of emergency is declared.
  21. gearhead204
    just pull a Detroit diesel up next to it and it will die laughing or lift the throttle pedal if you cant get the D.D started
  22. gearhead204
    looks like the difference between getting paid by the hour or by the load

    now why don't I have stuff like that in the barn ?
  25. gearhead204
    no that's a pretty r model for a loader truck! it still has lights and fenders ,cab glass,exhaust pipe,air cleaner,mirrors and no visable oil trails on the snow. some of the loader trucks in my country have a tow bar and move during darkness to keep dot from running out of paper while righting ticket
