Fixing a Serious Problem with the Truck House Trailer

[@craig4557]

I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers!

[@TruckHouseLife]

working on it;)

[@cggnow]

A trailer with fuel storage and a gas pump. That is awesome!

[@rudycarlson8245]

Thankfully you got that fixed before it became a bigger problem!

[@TruckHouseLife]

fact!

[@sswwooppee]

Whoa! I didn’t know you had the original fuel tanks in the trailer. That’s awesome.

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup!

[@MASmitty]

You may have wanted to use a 90 degree elbow to make it a lot easer to put that hose on. keep up the great videos.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@lifewithgrizz]

What a great set up! I dig the way you utilized your existing fuel cell from your original truck bed… save space for sure 👍🏻

[@michaelburroughs7494]

Pretty ingenious set up.

[@lesabre1972]

that is so good to know how much your using so you know for the next trip how much or not and you will have a better idea to get more fuel for the tanks in the trailer. very cool

[@robmclaughlin420]

It’s great that you include the dropping things part. Great entertainment

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@samhill3496]

Put a vent hole in the storage box. Gas can be set off from a spark from your hand with nylon type clothes on. Switch connections need insulated. Maybe a bad bearing sparks off a wheel, seen a lot of stuff with trucks on the road. I teach cdl too bad things can happen with gas. Good job , hell yeah, that's what fuel filters are for.

[@russellfield8539]

Hey Tim you should consider an earth between the trailer and snow machines when refuelling, this will prevent a static discharge and gasoline fire.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed, don't forget locking gas caps in fla , we have many low life's that love stealing gas😊

[@DirectCurrent4u]

That Blue Monster Pipe Dope is really hard to get off! It will get everywhere if Your not carful! I use it all the time!🤣

[@spitfire577]

Keep on trucking 🎉 good think you're fixing your truck. Be safe and enjoy your travels. 😊

[@TruckHouseLife]

always!

[@Zekerose]

That’s a great idea with the fuel tanks on your trailer, thanks for sharing that. Take care from Minnesota

[@tower992]

Absolutely perfect! Being from the east coast and having no snow this winter I love watching your videos. I love snowmobiling I should have traveled more when I was younger and lived out west in the winter. I could have gotten a job climbing cell towers anywhere as I traveled around. Shouldn’t have had my feet planted

[@TruckHouseLife]

still time until there's not;)

[@marianfrances4959]

Carpe diem! 👍😎🇨🇦

[@joeyhardin1288]

Ain't it just like liquid sealant - gets everywhere. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.

[@whiteboi1856]

Sweet setup

[@JesusangelMartinez-no5jf]

good job friend regards

[@norcoredneck]

Glad to hear you work sketchy back into the dialogue.

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@beerfrog_TheOriginal]

Love the set up. Consider replacing the rest of the blue hose to some fuel rated stuff. Keep on keeping on ☀️👋🇸🇪

[@TruckHouseLife]

on the list!

[@randymalnar4889]

Let me give you some helpful advice. Both of those fuel tanks still contain the factory fuel sending units. And since the work on variable resistance you should be able to read the fuel in each tank. So what you want to do is go to harbor freight and buy yourself a cheap multimeter. Then set the switch to read ohms and attach one meter wire to ground and the other meter wire to the sending unit output from the tank. You will have to read each tank separately but it will give you an idea of how much fuel is in those tanks. The tank sending unit produces low to high resistance depending on how much fuel is in it. Use you meter as a fuel gauge to check as needed.

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

Couldn't also buy an inexpensive fuel gage for each tank and do the same thing? Permanent hard wired that way.

[@stevencabiati1467]

Remind me to never ask you for advice, Randy. Cheers!

[@FranciscoTorres-wb2og]

M mj Aap NM nñh. Nn. Mmmm$...k. mm

[@henrikm4657]

Nice! What about getting a 90 degree elbow for the connection between the pump and the hose so it doesn't have to bend up against the box wall?

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@jasondunlap4942]

Make sure the hose does not rub against the box. That's a sharp bend you have there.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@johninalaska9563]

Good idea Timmy, when it comes to dispensing gas, you really don't want to use a cheap setup.

[@scottbrown321]

Perfect solution. Well done!

[@bethseptember8]

3:01 You are funny as Hell. Would make a good ER nurse. I would work with you. Sense of humor keeps your brain working in stressful times. BTW What was Big Blue's issue outside Gunnison? Triple Cross towing will never forget that day.

[@TruckHouseLife]

The video's are in chronological order if you look back you'll see;)

[@The_Lost_Alaskan78]

You could always try the 2x4 and a hammer trick on the back wall by the hose to give it a little bit more room if needed.

[@mikem8881]

NICE JOB TIMMY !

[@SWS509]

Such a dope set up. Incognito with form and function. Sheya brah. 🤙🏼

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks!

[@Will-Parr]

Excellent. Glad everything fit.

[@j.j.6500]

way to go man that's a perfect idea..

[@The_Lost_Alaskan78]

I’m here….. to pump you up!! You gotta drop test things, make sure they work properly

[@normanroberts6680]

Couldn't help but notice your system still has inferior hose. You might want to consider replacing the rest of those hoses. There's my 2 cents. Nice setup.

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup it's on the list:)

[@ronweenk]

Nice upgrade, meter is a great idea .

[@soniayoung7531]

That's awesome ,you did a good job, thanks for sharing stay blessed

[@andycalabro5418]

Hello Tim, like someone commented using a 90 degree fitting coming out of the pump also prevents the good hose from bending in that tight corner and possible kinking in the future. Great job.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@stacynissley7336]

Pretty awesome set up!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks!

[@ceeceety2320]

love your rig

[@jaywhite6225]

🤣Timmy, it's good to see your normal. Dropping stuff, getting the sealant on your hand, then on your jacket...lol

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@angiemyers6278]

So inventive! Stay safe

[@fredeschen3783]

When a hose clamp does not work add another and another. Usually works pretty good for half ass.

[@williamponath4798]

thanks

[@toddclark332]

❤👍😁 great job Timmy

[@rlucerin28]

Aren't those 2 pieces of hose connected to the pump the same as the hose you just replaced?

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup next project haha

[@malcolmzilla]

Retaining the fuel tanks in the trailer chassis is pure genius

[@jordanvargovich]

Definitely a much safer set up. .good job.

[@jackierandall2230]

Great fix for a disaster waiting to happen .

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@rbhhaner6151]

That digital reader is a nice touch bro.. I like it.

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup almost essential lol

[@xmarksthespot5188]

You should be careful about using a liquid sealant on threads as it acts like a super lubricant and over tightening is a real possibility . Great idea with stock fuel tanks in trailer !

[@JohnDoe-eh8sk]

🤣

[@BobvanT]

Nice improvement man, insurance cie will be pleased also 😊

[@Skyrider12]

Hey Timmy! On your clamps next time you need clamps? U use fuel injection clamps.They tighten evenly. Word! Great vids brotha man! 🇺🇸

[@MyAlaska12]

Why didn't you thread a 90 degree elbow onto the pump then the hose instead of threading the hose into the pump?

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@CTMadModz]

Great job dude 🤘😎

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks mane!

[@mrgatorzx]

Love your video's bub. Justa recommendation maybe weld a small vice on the v-neck of the trailer since you are working one handed 😂. It's nice to have for variety of things I have one welded to my bumper 👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

I have a small vise and thought about doing that on my flatbed on the corner lol

[@johnmcnaught7453]

Nice setup, but I'd put a 90 on pump connection to alleviate hose chaffing against box.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@jaymckenzie8412]

Awesome

[@Chris-ut6eq]

Snowmobile life gets one step better! :)

[@mtnbound2764]

nice! and dont be to hard on yourself, anyone who tells you they could have done that without getting thread sealer in SOMETHING other than the threads is lying.

[@jasoncayen1657]

always putting out different content love it!!!!! it’s like a box of chocolates u nvr know what ur gonna get🤣🤣

[@TruckHouseLife]

Try to! Wait till todays video lol

[@blueman5924]

Nice ! A premium set up now. 👍

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup!

[@TheOverlanderNextdoor]

Nice good job 👏

[@rlucerin28]

You hunt caribou with a knife!? 😂 Dammit!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@BigfootRCrcoverlanddave2646]

Nice upgrade to the set up Timmy and informative to 🇬🇧💯🤟😎awesome Duder you always need to know how much fuel you have 🇬🇧💯🤟🤟stay awesome 🤩 Timmy 👌overland Dave

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks Dave:)

[@everydaybladesinc]

You need a 90° elbow coming out of that pump that hose is going to kink

[@teddysmith457]

I truly hope that the thread sealant that you are using is made for petroleum and you are not just using regular thread sealant❤ I’m just asking because you are wasting your time. If that sealant you’re using is not made for petroleum.

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup it's for petroleum

[@jimg7784]

Are the sending units still in the tanks. Can you hook up a fuel gauge for the tanks? That would be simple and cool.

[@TruckHouseLife]

probably

[@WildwaterKayak]

Are you u not worried about the remaining blue house that goes from the tank to the fuel filter?

[@TruckHouseLife]

future project, it's fine for now though

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

nice up grade❗👍💯🏆🥇🚙🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks!

[@natetheaxebattles2898]

Timmaaaa! Liba louw liba louw timmaa!

[@rmontena4583]

Tim were you using the word "gas" for fuel? I think your reserve tanks in the trailer are diesel, rght? as Mav says, "keep on truckin'" Rich

[@rmontena4583]

I misunderstood, sorry! Rich

[@matthewtaylor1697]

no smoking before the job 😅

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@oyajiblues]

A big problem for u is a small problem. Maybe an L joint to get rid of the kink…

[@blueman5924]

yup, a 90* fitting would have been good.

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup still got some mods to do to it all

[@billkrause4585]

Put in a 'Elbow Fitting" instead of crimping that black fuel hose.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@natetheaxebattles2898]

Why not replace the other cheap plastic segments while you are in there?

[@TruckHouseLife]

next project

[@tedanderson463]

It looks like you need the proper fitting.... You're putting a side load on that hose it could collapse the hose... You need a 90-degree fitting... And Teflon tape... The hose should not be under sideload pressure like that and rubbing on the sidewall of that box.... Sometimes you can put a long coil spring inside the hose where it has to make a sharp turn.. the spring will stop the hose from collapsing. In that close quarters area... And it will take a lot of pressure off the rubber and the hose will last longer spring inside helps act like a shock absorber.. vibration and grit behind that rubber hose up against the wall of that box will wear a hole through it...

[@TruckHouseLife]

I put a 90 in right after this video;)

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Kind of tight on the back side of that pump. Obviously you couldn’t move the whole set up forward fir whatever reason

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

SO WHERE DID YOU BUY THAT HOSE AND NOZZLE?

[@TruckHouseLife]

alaska rubber

[@dillonallen9626]

Do you have a link to Deep State Cutlery ? Can find them .

[@TruckHouseLife]

Deep Cuts Cutlery, tell the owner and knife maker Kyle that Timmy/Truck House Life sent ya:)

[@toddfraisure1747]

Timmy, ou did pull out the spider gear, right?

[@TruckHouseLife]

nope, it's a closed system so it's fine, holds diff fluid just like a normal axle

[@campervanmark3410]

What kind of tires and how many ply are your truck tires ?

[@TruckHouseLife]

37x12.5x18 Toyo AT3s

[@campervanmark3410]

Do you know how many ply the tires are , for weight reasons

[@TruckHouseLife]

@@campervanmark3410 not sure, they're e rated

[@campervanmark3410]

You might want to Google those tires for safety sake

[@TruckHouseLife]

@@campervanmark3410 they're 10 ply

[@teddysmith457]

I’m not trying to be a know it all and I’m not trying to run down on you, so please don’t take it that way, but I would have put a 90° STREET L or something like that in that key so that your hose would’ve been easier to put on and wouldn’t rub against your toolbox just saying man

[@teddysmith457]

Nice set up by the way real nice rig real nice❤

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@tommackay7433]

Must be a battery in the meter?

[@jmoo72]

Just wonder why you didnt change the hole line???

[@TruckHouseLife]

next project

[@jmoo72]

For sure bro! I know how it goes!!!

[@melissawillison6708]

My question is this, do u own a place besides ur truck home??

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup! built a 16x20 cabin in Alaska!

[@caveman0988]

Way to much sealant bud… a dab will do ya with the ole blue monster

[@mikeingalsbee2959]

Put an elbow on that or it's just going to rub through the hose.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup, put a 90 in there right after this video haha

[@anjelfliye6204]

Timmy you can do ALOT OF THINGS but I'm not hiring you to ever apply"thread sealer" to anything...lol I've never seen you fail at something but brushing on thread sealer is not your thing. Jk

[@carltruva8872]

You missed putting pipe dope on the nipple that went into piece that went into the nozzle

[@tommatheson5855]

What was the name of your knife manufacturer? Thought I heard you say ...."Deep State Cutlery " ....?

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol nope, Deep Cuts Cutlery, link in the description of my Riding Out an Epic Snowstorm video

[@marianfrances4959]

👍😎🇨🇦

[@coolhand66]

COOL

[@jeepowner2675]

are the batteries in the gauge going to survive the cold?

[@TruckHouseLife]

yup!
