Different Fuels For Your Deuce

[@garystrong1651]

Was on a security detail one day in Nam guarding the recovery of mine damaged deuces. Mechanics only recovered the engines, saying the Cummins was the best. On my second Cummins, no problems. Truck doesn't last as long as the engine. Was driving a duce one day in Nam and the Jack shaft broke and came up into the floor board, scaring the shit outta me, thought it was a mine. A friend had just lost his leg to a mine while riding shotgun. Was all alone and I thought I didn't need my m-16 so I had left it in my tent. Was there until dark when an Arvin patrol came by and guarded me till my unit showed up. Arvin was looking for some V C who were in the area. Came close to capture which stressed me out later. V C were not nice folks. Never went anywhere again without my precious. This video brought back memories buried 53 yrs. Nice job.

Hope you’re doing well.

[@killersmith92]

Thank you for your service. Nam was a crazy war with the agent orange and napalm bombs. I got to meet a Colonel that served in Nam. Lived kinda local to me and told me quite a few stories when i was around where he lived.

[@dw7094]

Don't know why they were talking Cummins. The deuce and a half had a Continental Teledyne or a Hercules engine. Completely different diesel than the Cummins.

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

what i love about these things is in a bad situation when you are 50 miles away from home with no fuel or anything you could just fart in the tank and drive her home.

[@tyfighters002verkerk9]

Thats. Lot of beans

[@DesignsbyDonBrown]

Spend $10 at Taco Bell and drive for a week. LOL!

[@CopperheadGarage]

Just piss in the tank it’ll be fine

[@dw7094]

If no diesel, you had to mix oil with gasoline, or PD2. AVGAS was not compatible with the fuel density compensator.

[@rogererickson8564]

I was in the US Army from 1962 until 1965 and occasionally drove an M292 expandible radio van up Irshenberg hill on the German Autobahn. The gasoline engines would be crawling at below 10 mph after ascending the 11 per cent grade for 2 plus miles. The multi fuels would blow by them at over50 mph in high gear. They would run on after shave lotion, peanut oil or anything else that would ignite. I loved your video.

[@msumungo]

I used to work for Air Force as a civilian contractor for a few years. Back then I had a Merc W124 estate, straight six diesel, 4WD. The engine and it's injectors simply loved the JP-8 I got from the airfields I visited. The fuel was totally water-free. My long roof Merc had a 100 liter tank which lasted for 1300 kilometers of all sorts of driving with JP-8. With a civilian pump diesel, well maybe 1200 kilometers of the same.

[@carlossmith7043]

Perfect example of simple and low cost video. I'ts short enough for today's life, entertains enough, delivering clear and objective information. Thanks a lot, man. I'm a huge fan of military vehicles, weaponry and history. Earned my like and subscription. Cheers from Brazil

[@8475143117]

Thanks for the info. I was assigned a deuce and a half when I was in the Army back in the 80s in Germany. Deuces are GREAT fun for off roading!

[@crashk6]

Filtered used veg oil or motor oil splash mixed with ethanol or e85 to thin things out a little works fine too. Saves on all the processing it takes to make proper bio-diesel.

[@darylnestor2328]

I liked your video. I am a Vet and have my fair share of time behind the wheel of the deuce and a half and 5 ton. The reason I liked your video is because you DID NOT ramble on and on and on. Keep up the good work and look forward to more fun.

[@Liberty4Ever]

A friend had a deuce and a half, and he claimed to get 12 MPG, regardless of what he was doing - town or highway, empty or carrying a ridiculous load. He's a chimney sweep. He'd park the deuce at the base of an old masonry chimney and basically knock it over into the back of the truck and haul it away. I'd love to have one for a farm truck. A hydraulic lift gate or a crane would make it even more useful. It'd also be pretty cool to build a box on the back that could convert it into the SHTF RV From Hell, and be able to remove the RV unit to still use it as a big damn truck.

[@earthinvasion288]

Risky with a truck built to be light as posible but id of done it no regrets but id do a wood floor

[@misters2837]

Yeah when you think about it...that is what...4 Gallons per hour...because 50 is about all you wanna drive...LOL

[@krromas1966]

great job on the fuel brother my pickup is a 1983 F-250 diesel 420 cubic inch I run my vegetable oil and used oil through a screen and denim also then I put them in a white 55 gallon drum I will do 35 gallons of cooking oil 10 gallons of engine oil and 10 gallons of gasoline I will agitate that for 3 hours then let it settle out for a week on an angle 45 degrees all the sludge settles to the bottom and I have a very respectable fuel after that I run it through Wix semi-truck filter does a very fine job

[@Joseywales414]

I miss you doing these Deuce videos, your really good at it and so informative, love the history background to the subject also. I know in the winter it’s harder to do them and you’ve got many gun videos but I really like the Deuce one the best.

[@HermitagePrepper]

This rugged tech is gonna become very useful again very soon

[@easternfrontnh]

Really looking into getting one of these...

[@richardsager8126]

Drove a deuce and half and 5 ton dump in the Seabees 52 years ago. Man they were good trucks. Got 2/ 6.5 TD and lots of used oil now. The owners manual says you can run 40% gas/ 60% diesel. Not that I would, but definitely clean motor oil and maybe some kerosene.

[@dondodson9619]

BC, In the opening footage, you brought back sort-of-fond memories of driving a Deuce in Vietnam, "where the roads were bumpy and Uncle Sam paid for the front end alignments." Ha, ha. I had the great honor of being the lowest ranking NCO when I first arrived and was therefore the Garbage NCO, until some other poor guy got promoted. Keep up the interesting videos!

[@ryan5987]

These engines are worth their weight in gold today

[@davidperdue7506]

I went through Marine Corps Motor T mechanic school in 1976. they had a multi-fuel engine on a test stand and did a demonstration of it's capabilities by pouring different liquids into a funnel connected to the engine. I seem to remember one of them being brake fluid.

[@randysretired2020]

In addition to filtering used vegetable oil, I’d recommend heating the oil over 220 degrees for several hours to get any water out of the oil. Maybe it won’t hurt the Deuce, but I had a friend who destroyed his 6bt Cummins engine using vegetable oil that had too much water in it.

[@michaelbenoit248]

Finally, someone that actually knows a little on diesels, & sulfur issues. The one thing I will say is that for a 50 gallon tank, put like 1-2 gallons of oil on the diesel. It’s up to you but it runs way smoother. I put some in my 7.3. The 7.3 is a beast, but I’d like to get a deuce & 1/2 some day off the lot. To fix up & take to car shows to chow it off. Maybe blow a little smoke. 😂

[@Joseywales414]

I really love these deuce shows. More M35a2 truck shows. Maybe one on the evolution of Army cargo truck from ww1 period or ww2 period

[@handy-remodeler]

Can you share link to that manual. I found a 1100 page one. Yours look less pages. Appreciate all you post!

[@richw6478]

I enjoy your videos. An idea for filtering... use the wire cone with paper filter used for filtering fryer oils in restaurants. Oil will filter quicker if heated. Have a blessed day!

[@stevenruble3934]

Nice video....those critters like to chew on the plastic fuel lines on the deuce. Your truck fired up and sounded great. I always think the key to cold starts with the deuce is good batteries, a good clean ground at the battery box, and a solid fuel system. That is no leaks and a fuel pump that works. Just watch that Exhaust stake it will shot out a black mess.

[@deuceandguns]

Thanks, and you're correct that a lift pump in good working order really helps.

[@RustyCarnahan]

On the same topic, but from a different mechanical world. Many years ago on my family's dairy farm, before my time, the diesel fuel they got was prone to gelling in the southeast Ohio winters. What my Paw Paw would do is mix 1-2 quarts of gasoline into 5 gallons of diesel fuel. That kept the fuel liquid, and with as much sulfur as was in the fuel back then, it was still slick enough to keep injection pumps happy. Now, they did burn more of it, the exhaust smelled funny, and the engines took on a different sound, but all survived just fine. The tractors that ran on this mixture were two JD 4010's, a 720D, a 2630, and two Oliver 88 Diesels. The other tractors, I can't speak for, but the 720D is still in our possession, and still sees regular use even in 2019. We haven't added gasoline to the fuel in all my 27 years, and the unit pumps and injectors are finally getting worn to the point where they need gone through. I kinda blame that on the lack of sulfur in today's fuel, compounded with age. As far as we know, this is the first time since they bought the tractor used in 1980 that the pumps and injectors have needed work.

[@TheReefqekoHungryHungarian]

I just purchased my Deuce and Half and i am sooooooo stoked! Cant wait to prep it into a Bug out vehicle or just a go anywhere Hunting vehicle for Northern BC. Thank you sooooo much for the simple and very instructive video. Finally someone that speaks simple terms. I was able to find my manual now and know what to start collecting for the machine, and that is unlimited BIO FUEL. Is it just me or have the North American manufacturers of trucks made trucks cheaper and burn more fuel? Because my Titan with the damn high gas prices here $60 bucks to fill up every second day. I will just pay it off and drive the Duece into town from now on :) Thanks again much appreciated!!!!

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Back when I was a kid living on the farm 6 brothers and sisters plus mom and dad 8 personal vehicles 10 farm trucks and tractors generators another vehicles 2 times every year we will end up with almost 300 gallons of used engine oil well we would put 100 gallons of used engine oil into 400 Gallons of diesel Fuel All of the old equipment ran fine

[@topcatandgang]

when we received the first shipment of the vehicles in Germany, we instructed all the units 1 special thing to remember, do not double clutch it. the first 2 months we were replacing transmissions that were burned out by the high torque and people double clutching them.

[@twigglykevin]

suggestion for filtration. aquire a 45 gallon drum (or smaller but prefferably with a standard bung),get a manually operated rotary pump from princess auto (harbor freight in the US), go to a scrap yard find a oil filter mountaing base (the piece it screws into), plumb it inline on the output side of the rotary pump add filter and start cranking.

[@kirkstinson7316]

A filtering suggestion is hit Napa and order a remote filter mount. Get the one with incoming and out going ports. Connect a line from a hand or electric pump to intake side and put a longer one on discharge side, (to reach your fuel tank). Just use a base big enough for a large oil filter and you can filter and fill all in one go. No more waiting for gravity

[@Milkman3572000]

You have the right idea on Oil filtration. I have a simple suggestion. Let gravity do your work. I get used oil in 5qt containers. I then let them sit. The heavy solids sink to the bottom. When I drain off the oil I leave the last 1/2 qt in the container. I have a M-1009 (6.2l diesel) no problems. It does have a 30 gallon tank. NO PROBLEMS.

[@wildbill23c]

Excellent video BC. The Deuce is a great truck. Wouldn't mind owning one. Especially the older ones with the multi-fuel engines.

[@wildbill23c]

***** The ones I've been looking at are multi-fuel...and you can burn regular gas in them but not for long, you have to mix it with a bit of oil. How old are the gas ones you are talking about?

[@deuceandguns]

William Todd The original M35 from the 1950s (the non A, A1, or A2 version) had a in-line 6 gasser engine. I've never seen one in person and only met one person online who had one due to the vast majority of them being converted to a multi-fuel A2 during the late 70s and 80s.

[@wildbill23c]

***** Ahh, thank you for the great information. For some reason I was thinking all the early ones were the multi-fuel, or the standard diesel version. Thanks again.

[@coreymerrill3257]

A simple but very strong neodymium magnet taped to the outside of your container to the bottom would go far with your used motor oil filter. It will draw any small to microscopic magnetic particles to it and prevent them from going into your engine . Even if it doesn't look like it's working at first, it still is working . Eventually you'll see the particles building up.

[@jakelogan7542]

We refer to those white bag filters as "sock filters". Just some industry slang terminology, in case you were interested.

[@VicsYard]

Nice. Liked and Subscribed. I ran some mixes in my Ford 7.3L filter filter filter.... More the better 1-5 micron

[@ronernst3991]

Use a oil filter housing, oil filter and a small pump. Pump the used oil through the oil filter straight into the fuel tank. Quick and easy to make. No mess No fuss.

[@terryrlmg1717]

Sorry to ask this. But I bought a deuce. Could you do some more videos on filtering oils. To pour in your tank of your deuce. I find it really interesting. I'm starting to save all the old engine oil and I want the best way to filter it. Thanks love all your videos. Keep up the great work

[@godsservant9284]

You actually answered alot of my ques. I've scoured the internet and couldn't find half of what you said. Thank you.. I've been considering a deuce. Mainly for the reasons you outlined here. Running low on fuel? No problem. Pull into a resturaunt and get some if their cooking oil. I'm looking for something to convert to a camper. I'm thinking get a deuce with the long bed and drop a 10-15 foot shipping container in the back. The container would have to be highly modified. But, from what I've seen, they are. Also sturdy. Would anyone here use a deuce a daily driver?

[@topcatandgang]

they taught us in the Army that the M-35A1 and its other versons burn any liquid that is flammable as long as you add oil. we used mostly diesel but also gasoline, kerosine and JP-4 jet fuel. in class they showed us if you need fuel invade a package store and take their whisky for fuel.

[@aussiebloke2998]

Fantastic!!!! A new Deuce vid. I have been waiting a long time for a new Video, I love the Vids you have done! I have left suggestions for new video subjects in the comments of past vids,... I hope there will be more to come soon. Aussie..

[@jeremyturgeon4493]

I run strait oil or hydraulic love it. In the winter just add around 5 gal of pump gas

[@vicstalr]

"Does it do a good job? Not really." LMFAO. Bro you're hilarious. This had me rolling 😂

[@georgedistel1203]

You also needed to mention that if the injector pump has been rebuily more than likely the fuel density compensator has been bypassed. This makes it a straight diesel engine, I don't know if you can run anything else from experience but I was told not to run anything but straight diesel. Now I do use additives for summer the bio stuff that inhibits alge growth and the stuff that stops it from gelling up in the winter.

[@kirkstinson7316]

Get a remote filter base from Napa. plumb it from a pump to your fill hose. Use a larger spin on filter. You can filter your used oil and fill your tank all in one go. No more waiting for gravity to pull the used oil through your current filter system

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Yahh another deuce video. SWEET!! I knew this thing could run on a few different fuels. In a disaster, this would be a good vehicle of choice if you didn't have a good choice of fuels. I may have missed this, but did you mention it could run on propane or natural gas? I think those have to be under pressure so that may not work. Great video!

[@deuceandguns]

Propane and natural gas would only work after extensive modifications. In a disaster type situation the you can drain the gas, motor oil, and transmission fluid from an abandoned car to be used as deuce fuel.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

***** I thought so. That's a good idea too.

[@BenKempa]

I thought transmission fluid wasnt designed to burn?

[@stevenruble3934]

It’s runs great on transmission fluid just smoky. I have run gas/diesel mix, hydraulic oil, transmission oil, and motor oil. If the oil is to thick You have to cut it with gas or diesel.

[@Wingnut353]

Ben Kempa dunno but it's a common fuel additive to clean injectors at least on two stroke Detroits anyway.

Hands down best way to filter used oil, 6'of 4"pvc pipe packed with pink house insulation. Window screen on the bottom end and dump oil in on the other while standing upright. It'll bout come out looking like new...

[@mytmousemalibu]

I have owned, worked on and driven diesels all my life, love & prefer them. Call it an obsession! I have a tired old 82' 300SD that was a beater when I got it so I did some alternate fuels testing on it. Mostly used automotive oils as I used to be a BMW tech till I switched to aviation. Anyhow, I was able to get a lot of free fuel, we had to pay to dispose of our waste oil. The car ran great on a mix of motor oil and #2 diesel. It also liked ATF and beings its a bit thinner, its a good match. It ran a bit smoother and power stayed the same and even ran a little quieter. 50/50 mix was all the higher mix concentration it liked. Beyond that would cause an intermittent misfire or shudder, likely incomplete combustion. Also used any old kerosene type fuels and Jet-A that I could get my hands on. Used a little bit of gas during the winter a couple times. Never did use anything like differential oils or manual trans oils. They are heavily contaminated with metal particles and in small quantities and stink to high heaven, not worth it. They are high in sulphur as are most high pressure lubes. Good quality to like about diesels, in a SHTF situation, an old mechanical pumped diesel only needs a battery to start up and nothing else electric (you can rig a shut-off solenoid on) and they can burn almost anything. A friend of mine that was in the military said on one of his deployments to the middle east, they couldn't get resupplied with diesel for some reason but were given JP-8 and after a while started killing diesel engines left and right. I said you should have added a bit of motor oil to the fuel as JP-8 doesn't have enough lubricity and thats exactly what they were informed to start doing. Good Vid! BTW, Just curious, did you end up getting rid of your Savage 64?

[@dw7094]

JP5 & JP8 run great. JET-A is the fuel that lacks lubricity. The military now uses an F type fuel for jet and diesel fuels. It is JP8 with an additive. As jet fuel has a shelf life, fuel that no longer passes a SG Test is distributed to ground equipment fuel points.

[@EnriqueSonora]

[@warlockcommandcenter]

When I drove a tractor I added a 5 qt jug of motor oil to my fuel every two weeks, in the winter I added a qt of ISO alcohol, the fuel filters and water separator will take care of the chunks. Also where I parked people dumped used motor oil in 5 qt jugs this got added to fuel just to make it go away. The company had to change the filters so it wasn't my problem.

[@evolutionglitch4739]

One of the best filter media for fuel oil is a roll of single player toilet paper. The oil filters through the paper and then the tube. 2 micron filter on the cheap. Scott 1000 is a good choice.

[@jamescoffman5306]

I just bought a M35 but the multifuel system has been taken off by the military at some point. How can I go about putting this system back on. And where do I find the pets.

One that you missed and can find is Paraffin ! Yes, Yes, it's a nasty fuel that needs cleaned up BUT I reckon in a SHTF situation it would be one of the last fuels still out there cause hardly anyone uses it, BUT Your Duce "WILL" run on it, filtered and added oil BUT, "IT WILL RUN" ! Best Wishes from Bonnie Scotland

[@deuceandguns]

That would probably smoke alot. On the other hand paraffin has similar burn characteristics to kerosene which is listed as an alternative fuel. Good thinking!

[@kirkstinson7316]

+DEUCE AND GUNS Duce. Get a remote, spin on filter base from Napa. With a pump and some hose you can filter and fill your tank at the same time.

[@thomaskennels]

Best way to filter oil is to get 4 in pvc pipe about 5 foot long. Get two roll of toilet paper remove the center card board. Stuff the rolls about half down your pipe. Poor the oil in and let it filter tough the T.P.. it will come out super clean.

I'm looking into buying a deuce and a half. what are the prices that seem reasonable?

[@donaldsmith3048]

Just a thought. A 55 gallon drum, some type of pump, a oil filter. Put the oil in the drum and let the worst settle to the bottom, pump it in fuel tank through oil filter. They make fuel filters that could be used also. Places that do oil changes get the oil in 55 gallon drums. I got one give to me but you may need to pay $5 or $10 for one! If you have a place that you go to for oil changes and thing they may just give you one. Another thing try to find an old gas pump! There are not many of them around. They run on 120 or 220, so you will need a generator to run that but they will move a lot of fuel fast. Another thing is a transfer tank and pump you can dump old oil in as you get it then see how much other you need to thin it out before pumping in truck. Is there a place that changes oil, they need to do something with it someone must come around and pump it into a truck and take it away! Talk to them see if they are paid for it or if they must pay for someone to pump it out and take it away. Small town small service station may need to pay for someone to take it because it isn't worth much and cost of truck and labor to go get it, pump it from under ground tank cost. Just some thoughts! If you like them good if you don't just flush them! This is just what I came up with in short time! I have other things to but don't want to put them out for everyone to see! A way to get hundreds of gallons of of what ever fuel you need. Short time after thing get bad, good to have some 250 gallon tanks to put it in until you mix or use it!

[@tankkiler308]

a suggestion for motor oil is use a pump like for 55 gallon drums and put a oil filter on it. thats what alot of waste oil burners use. sorry for being so general but there are videos out there for it and i dont know the exact specifics

[@deuceandguns]

I actually started putting together a drum/handpump/filter setup last year even got s drum but then realized I never have that much oil on hand.

[@DonWRII]

if you get an air powered pump I bet you could figure a way to pump out of a waste oil tank from a truck service shop, or even a car shop. The one I used to work at had to pay someone to come and pump it off to dispose of it, I'm sure there are shops within 100 miles of you that would let you pump out of their waste, as long as you cleaned up after and/or didn't make a mess, they might even have some spare 55gal drums you could use. Also, at least with the one I worked at, the motor oil and diesel fuel went into the same tank, fuel from changing filters got dumped into them, but was maybe a gallon of fuel to ten gallons of oil that was drained out of the oil pan, but still partially diluted already.

[@deuceandguns]

I looked into this but there is a local company that actually pays them to take the used oil (yes even fryer oil). They recycle it into something but I have no other info beyond that. With all the filtering and work involved I'm not going to pay anyone for used oil so it'll be limited to whatever I can scrounge from friends and family who change their own oil.

[@DonWRII]

that is quite unfortunate, I'm pretty sure a few places around here would let me pump used oil, I know of at least the truck shop I used to work in would, I'm in pretty good graces with them haha. your videos have enlightened me to the wonders of the multifuel and got me looking into one, now if only I can sell the VW bus project I got and now have no motivation to finish, I could pick myself up a decent bobbed deuce with a multifuel and hopefully make a somewhat trailworthy but mostly mobile campsite vehicle haha.

[@KDuboutdoors19]

That's how I filter it. I still get used oil from a few places that I used to work for. I also have a few farmers and friends that save their oil for me. I have a waste oil furnace in my garage too. Storing 11 drums of used motor oil takes up alot of space.

[@donaldsmith3048]

Can you run the used oil throw oil filters as it is pumped into the tank or when is put in another tank to be put in the Deuce later?

[@joshpaoli530]

Were did you get the filters for the home depo bucket ?

[@bikeroftheeverywheres864]

[@deuceandguns]

They do look cool and if done properly will improve the off-road capability of a Deuce. Personally, I won't be bobbing anything because I like the classic Deuce look and feel but I understand it when people do bob them.

Use lots of magnets on the outside of a metal bucket to filter the oil. Gets all the metal particles out.

[@ryanlambert3717]

Back when my dad worked for sahagan fuel in the late 80's early 90's they used to mix a few gallons of kerosene in when they filled up the oil trucks in the winter cause it would thicken up a bit.

[@ryanlambert3717]

@Russell Gerdes yeah that's true but Its more of a comment on the viscosity and gel point of modern diesel. The trucks would run better on 10% kero in negative temperatures. Modern ultra low sulfur diesel is thinner but also lacks the lubricosity of the old stuff

I know a guy who filters his oil by pouring it into a screen on top of an old washing machine and has "filtered" the holes in the tub. Filtered oil comes out of the discharge hose

[@NSBigBlue]

so where can i get waste motor oil, used cooking oil or brand new cooking oil? i plan to run it 15-20% diesel and then the rest "other" stuff

[@alleghenyrunner1894]

if i remember right the deuce had a 50 gal tank on it. if you used gasoline in the tank and it's straight you added 5 gallon of hd 30w oil to the gas and that is the correct mix for the multi fuel engine on the 35 and 54 series engines. if you use used eng oil oil you need to get as much of the carbon out of the oil and the less syn oil you use the better off you are.

[@dyle7486]

so if you have a tank lets say quarter filled with regular gas, can you just dump any mix of fuels or do you have to empty your tank of gas before filling again?

[@tonyfoxxbuilds1920]

Can you use hydraulic fluid?

[@JDWard-Jeepster]

Used motor oil no matter how carefull you filter it introduces microscopic metal particles which will cause extra wear to your injectors as well as your cylinder walls and pistons. Also it can not be stressed enough to make sure you keep water out of your fuel. This is important in hot humid climates especially because there is a type of algae that will grow in diesel fuel which plugs your filters. For fuel we used to use JP5. if none was avaliable in some of the remote deployment sites we also used JP4, we would mix 55 gallons of new motor oil to 500 gallons of JP4.

[@garrettstafford4967]

Do you have to drain the tanks to switch fuel or just refuel with what is available with no problem? What is the mixture of motor oil to jet kerosine?

[@deuceandguns]

Just refuel with what's available but remember what's in there so you can keep the diesel to other fuel ratio at or above 50%. As far as jet Kerosene goes I only personally can vouch for JP-8 which would still be a minimum of 50% JP-8 to motor oil.

[@garrettstafford4967]

@@deuceandguns thanks! Also, what type of motor oil is best?

[@jaygraham4095]

Not sure what the micron rate is on a regular oil filter. But why not a remote oil filter and ph8 fram filter. That filter is available everywhere & cheep. You could set it up as a gravity feed or with a pump and do it fast.

[@christophertaylor1153]

How much motor oil should you add to the diesel fuel tank in a deuce and a half?

[@danthoreson4062]

Great series

[@Slim_Slid]

The 7.8L is different than what most diesel engines use,which would require a Rotary VE44 or inline fuel pump if you want to use different fuels.The fuel pumps,injectors,and pistons are actually what allow a multi-fuel to use gasoline but it still needs to be mixed with motor oil or diesel.70/30% for compression/combustion. The multi-fuel is still a compression engine. Not just Continental,Hercules,or White but Caterpillar also had a multi-fuel engine,it wasn't the LDT-465 or LDS-465 that the M35A2-M756A2 had but the D333C for the Caterpillar M520-M877.

[@ΝίκοςΜαυρίδης-ρ3κ]

where can i find the users manual you found for the engine?? and every thing for the maitens of the engine?? thank you..

[@deuceandguns]

the Steel solders forum has most of them.

[@idk1583]

Where are you supposed to get those giant tires for it?

[@deuceandguns]

The traditional NDT (non-directional tread) tires are mostly surplus only but there are several commercial options such as the Goodyear G177 tire.

[@PartiBuoy]

What if you were next a well. Could you mix some raw oil

[@deuceandguns]

It would depend on what was coming out of that particular well but chances are the crude would need some refining before it could be used safely. There was a dude online out in the Midwestern US that claimed he had an old oil well that produced about 10 gallons of light crude per day that was good enough to run his deuce on without any refining. This was at least 15 years ago and the dude provided no evidence so who knows if it was true. If so it's certainly not a common thing.

[@bcgrittner]

Vegetable oils have a habit of baking onto the injector tips when a warmed up engine is shut down. I’d avoid them unless absolutely necessary.

[@jstavene]

most run a second tank, then switch to diesel before shutdown,,to flush the system a bit maybe that would help?

[@dexkleeman]

What about mineral sprits and stuff like that, I seen a video and they said you could use it too
