Well, I put 5 gallons of kerosene and 20 gallons of #2 in the tank, still got crap for fuel pressure...on it's second filter now, fixin to put on another new one...

This is what the gauge read on my way to work this afternoon...

As long as it's reading, it's ok. The kero shouldn't make the pressure drop, I wonder if you have a blockage? You have the piston LP right? Do you have a strainer before the LP? In not, pull the inlet fitting to the LP and see if the screen is plugged in the inlet fitting.

That plow is 9' so it tends to look big on the dump. The plow covers up over the headlights almost sitting in front of it.

I have put 9 filters on so far since December lol. She doesn't stay warm in the cab when it's under 10 degrees.

I wish I had put fuel in yesterday. The prices are up to 4.35, 4.39 around here. The local Sunoco rapist was the lowest at 4.19. I didn't get off my ass yesterday to do it and on the way home it was up to 4.39. Crap. That will be over $4 extra I'll have to pay.

I got a piston LP from the Hungry Diesel, I pulled the strainer a few weeks ago as it was catching all the chunks of wax and plugging. I might mess with it tomorrow, see what the screen looks like. If I had a way of heating that strainer, I'd run it. I was planning on putting it back on mid March or so...

I finally figured out why I didn't have good heat in the cab, I got a massive air leak somewhere around the inlet to the air box...going down the road, it just rushes cold air behind the glove box...need to pull the HVAC box again and figure out a way to seal it to the cab.

Spring is right around the corner! I just ordered the first batch of broilers for the year. Yeh I know it doesn't feel like it, but don't snow on my parade.

I found out about some stuff that should fix your gelling problems this weekend when I was talking to a fellow enthusiast. The company is called lubecorp. It's based in Calgary Alberta, and the diesel additive will degell diesel as soon as it mixes. It'll also break water down to where it'll pass right through the fuel system and out the injectors

I hoping my new radiator fixes mine. It leaks so I think it's making air pocket in it because the temp fluctuates from almost to the H all the way down to C again. I found a radiator for $275 through truck repair. Also going to drill a hole in my t stat and flush my heater core because this used radiator looks like the coral reef inside lol. Then hopefully I'll be confident enough to come up and get those fenders from ya!

Temp gauge sways on mine too. I finally received my new used hard lines, I'm fixin to pull the thermostat and cut that juggler out too.

[TheSilverBullet]

Juggler?? Does yours go damn near to H ? I hardly have any heat in this pile

Yeah, jiggler, stupid auto correct. It'll get awful warm, then drop in about a second or two. It'll swing like that a few times before it'll settle down. Check your heater valve, vacuum system must not pull enough to open it...so I used two zip ties to hold it open...gets a little better heat since doing so.

If you find an issue with the pump itself, let me know.

Will do.
