Deuce 'n a Half - Fuel Issues

Babe wake up, toocheaptosmoke uploaded

HaHaHa!!

[@mykline1]

There is a mold that will grow inside the fuel tank and if still installed behind the font bumper on the right side frame rail, there is a small fuel water separator with ceramic disk in it and mold will also form inside it. It can be serviced and will avoid problems down the road.

you cant fix stupit this guy is a complete jack ass

Yet somehow Peg would drive it back to oilberta with no issues. That man's got super powers I swear

[@sliderhd]

A friend had a boat that would do very close to what you are seeing. It would run great at first and then run out of power a little later. What I finally found was the fuel tank vent in the cap was stuck closed. After the truck about quits open fuel cap and see if it hisses. Good Luck! Great videos. I hope you pay the narrator a lot he is fun to listen to.

[@FloridianSon]

The block inside you were talking about is called the sleeve and it rides on the plunger. Even if the plunger was stuck in the up position the sleeve would still be on the bottom because it's in a shutdown position. All the way down leaves the spill Port open. All the way up it completely blocks to spell port and you have full throttle.

Nice change for the oil filter.

My 86 CUCV M1008 likes to test my patience and bank account as well. Luckily it’s mainly just a regular Chevy K30, aside from the oddball 12/24V electrical and whatnot.

[@Jethrosgarage]

Definitely put a fuel pressure gauge on there. And try running it out of a jug to bypass the tank and see if there's a change!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Would be something to try, would need to re-route the return line too. Just seems odd that it progressively loses power after running for a while?

[@PNW-LOGGING-HOMESTEAD]

​@@toocheaptosmoke could it be that the electric pump is getting hot and slowing down delivery or hanging up a bit after it warms up?

[@packofhounds]

I was going to guess a venting problem. As it uses up what air is available in tank it begins to starve. But that might be more lawn mower technology than anything.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Definitely has those symptoms, always worth double checking.

[@staym925]

Put a quart of oil in your fuel each time fill up, that help keep the fuel pump and injection pump lubricanted, newer diesel fuel is dry.

[@itsmatt2105]

I run a lot of old diesel trucks, the standard in the industry is to use 2 cycle oil and only 3-5 oz per fill up. 2 cycle is said to mix with the diesel the best of any oil and it's designed to lubricate then burn as completely as possible.

[@daphlavor]

We have been working on our 1973 model at our scout camp and cannot get it to start, we changed the fuel filters, and bled the lines, it just drips out while cranking, I thought it’s supposed to squirt out? The injection pump is the next item to go after. We’ll disconnect that damn buzzer for sure! The external fuel pump is a great idea. Let me your thoughts. Thanks

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Definitely sounds like the button coming off could be a cause, same symptoms as mine.

[@Chrisbilyeu1998]

With my brain hurting i still want one

[@Alexsoutdooradventures]

Great video. But I can’t wait for the sled videos now that winter is here

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Dude, I'm ready for the snow too!

[@lifeoftraveling8330]

Where can i buy the 24 volt fuel pump you are using in the duece im looking for something like it to use as a small fuel transfer pump dont need to move alot at a time but cant get fuel cans over the fill line in my small fuel tank i need to fill i use the duece i have for hauling scrap metal and waste oil and the small pumping system for collecting oil uses a small diesel powered pump i installed under the trailer needing a small pump to fill its tank and hate carring tons of exstra parts loose in the tool box for filling it going to use the pump to add a larger tank on the trailer to pump over to the small tank as needed

[@toocheaptosmoke]

You can get the carter 24v pumps on amazon or parts stores, part P4603HD

[@JCTyler64]

Thanks man, great video!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Sure thing!

[@brentduimering545]

any suggestion on a place to buy the little clip that holds the button on thank you

[@toocheaptosmoke]

I would check Big Mikes Motorpool

[@RockyMountain86]

Wait what isn’t that thing from diesel creek 😂

[@toocheaptosmoke]

When I seen his, almost did a double take to make sure mine was still sitting out back! Haha

[@davekimbler2308]

I’m sure the pump isn’t high enough pressure for the injectors is the filter pre pump or aft pump , the way that filter was implored it’s starving for fuel .

[@toocheaptosmoke]

The metal cased filter I put in afterwards is a much coarser metal screen type, it's still flowing freely.

[@staym925]

I use the same pump and have had zero issues with, but I put in a quart oil in fuel everytime I fill up.

[@oldsledpurgatory3595]

I would love to see the look on the face of the newbie AAA driver who shows up for the service call.

[@persson882]

nice work! do a update vid on the groil stuff :D

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Haha, not a whole lot to update, still using it.

[@kellyblack4897]

Is the deuce half full? Or half empty?! You! The FAVORITE KZbin viewer can decide.

[@jtothefx]

👌👌

[@hughjarse4627]

Has it got any biocide in the tank to kill bugs? That makes everything size up usually snaps rotary fuel pumps in half

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Has some power service diesel kleen in it.

[@hughjarse4627]

@@toocheaptosmoke that will be what’s causing it. I rebuild pumps& injectors for a living and see shit tons of snapped heads and rotors because of diesel cleaners/bug killers. Dump the fuel

[@xsr900dad7]

How hard do you have to pull up on the cap to get it off after aligning the red tooth? I have mine aligned but the cap won't pull off.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Don't remember it being anything special, think there's just some o rings sealing?

[@kellyblack4897]

Just saying, modern diesel will eat up the rubber in the lines and jam it in liquid form into the high pressure pump. I’ve changed a gang of them in old diesels.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Will have to add that to the growing list of things to check, haha.

[@kellyblack4897]

@@toocheaptosmoke i put used motor oil or atf in it to try and counter it. But you really need the rated lines or there’s gonna be trouble.
