Son, I don’t need notifications, I can work the damn thing myself.

[@bobpayne830]

If you turn the roll of tape around with your finger through the center hole you will get the tape on tighter. NTP fittings only need 3.5 - 4 wraps. Too much tape is as bad as not enough. We tape tens of thousands of fittings every year

[@OShackHennessy]

Those fancy nozzles will not work on a gravity tank for anyone thinking about it. You need the silver nozzle he had on to begin with. No worries if you’re adding them to a motorized pump. Thanks for the video it’s always good to see different fueling solutions.

[@4holzer]

if you flip over the roll of teflon tape, you get better control of the tape and can get better tension on the tape to pull it into the threads easier.

[@rt3box6tx74]

A rattling bucket of feed works fine when you have only a few cows on small acreage, but looks like you're expanding bigly. We trained the cow herd to come to the vehicle horn. They'd run a half mile to get those alfalfa cubes first.

[@patchessimon]

That back drop of your property when you were fixing the gas pump was beautiful! What a awesome piece of property!!!!

[@ChurchsFamilyFarmCFF]

You will like it a lot better with that swivel joint.

[@jaredkean7841]

Josh you might consider getting some copper sulfate, and maybe give a local vet a call about getting a bottle or two of calcium to keep on hand for them momma's. 2 reasons, milk fever is a potential issue for calving heifers. The copper sulfate for hoove injuries with all the new fencing and work you've done. They could easily pick up a staple or piece of wire. I know that's not the point of this video but maybe something to look into before a potential vet bill. Neither of those things should affect them being organic but don't take my word on that.

[@alimamybangura1399]

Thank you for your educative show ♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟♥️

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi...... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

[@markjay662]

Josh I like your optimistic forecast of no more days below freezing

[@channingshank8203]

I have the same pump that you’ve got and one thing I’ve found really handy is instead of having to raise your hood to hook up your clamps to run your pump wire up a connector like you would use for your trailer lights. Your truck should have 12v power and a ground in your trailer plug once wired it makes it so much easier for fueling up equipment in a hurry.

[@butler386]

Hopefully the moisture problem is fixed but keep an eye on it for sure. I definitely like the idea of a swivel on the fuel nozzle.

[@OShackHennessy]

Pro tip: Hold the hose stationary and spin the truck around it. You’re welcome.

[@d.j.robinson9424]

I Love those fixem up videos. Also heard them ol' timers use to run Vaseline down those new hoses with a wire and cotton cloth for longevity. Wooooo 🇺🇸💚 MERICA.

[@semco72057]

I hope your problem with your fuel system is solved and you are able to get some work completed on your farm. This has been a warm Winter this year all over the country and I live in Arkansas and we are affected also by this humid Winter with no snow or ice.

[@Badweather12]

In aviation a safe practice is always keeping fuel tanks full in planes. This minimizes chances of humidity forming condensation and getting water in your tanks. Not sure if this could be a factor as well. I also have a drag tank and try to keep it full. I've never had any water issues..... knock on wood.

[@bcgrittner]

Big improvement on the fuel delivery system. Money well spent. When I was at the store I went round and round with people who had used regular teflon tape on fittings where gasoline was used. Megatape is an excellent product. The additional expense will be absorbed by the absence of contamination in the fuel system. Ideally - when using an adjustable wrench always pull with the fixed side.

[@ClickinChicken]

reminds me of the Moonshiners episode when Josh turned truck box pump into moonshine pump! Wooo.

[@deanlawson6880]

Oh Heck Yeah! I love that new fuel nozzle and hose! I'd love to have a nice fuel station on a trailer here on my farm. I'm planning on building it on a small utility trailer with a 50Gal Gas fuel tank, and a 50Gal Diesel tank. I have equipment here on our place that's Gas as well as Tractors that are Diesel. Greetings from Kansas and Thanks for the Video Josh!! Whooo!!

[@overlandtoshore]

Hope to see an update on popcorn soon! One of my favorite series!

[@RG-gn1ln]

Josh , I notice a galvanize street elbow on your filter. They do not recommend using galvanize pipe or fittings with diesel fuel, they have a chemical reaction. This also might be one of your problems.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

hmmm thanks buddy

[@dejayblair7571]

Yeah that’s really good to know! 👊🏼

[@philsroad7959]

So what would you use? Black pipe?

[@OxAO]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Also the white Teflon tape will fall apart. PTFE Teflon Yellow or most people call it yellow tape it's double the density over white tape (sometimes in other colors.) Black steel is better then Galvanized for fuel

[@bcgrittner]

Yes, I agree. Somewhere in the past I read that diesel vehicles do not have galvanizing (zinc) inside their fuel tanks. The fuel oil will leach the zinc from a plated tank. As for ULSD, I have no information.

[@augustreil]

Nice upgrade on the fuel hose, but I don't think that old hose was letting water get into your tank. Great video, thumbs up !

[@thomasmyers8302]

Thumbs up for Dunkey!

[@you7uber5]

Thats a band saw. Cut plenty of short loin and BI pork loin on one. Is it a 142" or 124" blade

[@GaryB33]

That number 3 cow is mean to donkey. He not getting any feed just headbutted. Donkey should turn around and kick the deal out of her.😂 Have a Great Day, GOD BLESS

[@danielallison1925]

Winter is only just starting here in Texas. Our worse weather is usually about Feb.

[@frankcadillac9151]

Josh, chances are your getting condensation in your tractor fuel tanks, try to drain whats on the bottom, and keep the tanks full.

[@philsroad7959]

Nothing to do wit Farm/Homestead but I m going to start Pre Recs for my LPN license in May. I ve been a CNA for 18 years I figured it's time to do it...lol...love the video as usual. God bless

[@brianmeattey4151]

Yep allways good to get bigger and better stuff ...godbless bud

[@TheZigZiggy]

You should have used 2 of those swivel adapters, one on each end of the hose.

[@gregtheog123]

I'm not even thought about being a farmer or ever been interested about farming. Your vids make it a look so fun and interesting!

[@NitroGuyJH]

Just wanna say hey brother! Also want to add that I have your old style nozzle and hose setup on my remote fuel tanks and I know what you mean about the trigger part falling out. Just pick that sucker up a certain way and it falls right off with no problems. I’ve have even been filling a bucket with diesel and let off the trigger and it fall right in the bucket lol. Looks like I need to buy that one you upgraded to. It’s a real nice one, especially the swivel joint!

[@brianballa3086]

very nice .... thank you for sharing

[@laohantun7404]

Thanks for sharing your fun with us....Woooo.....

[@dmorgan28]

Josh I don’t know if you ever emptied and totally washed out your tank, but it might not be a bad idea. I know from experience you have to watch where you get your fuel. If their tank is low when you buy fuel you might be getting trash from their tank. I’ve been thru this myself. One thing about it though. You are better off with all the upgrades you did to your tank etc. Enjoyed the video. 👍👍👍❤️

[@msweetums7]

Not sure why you think you don't need reflon on tapered threads. You should be using pipe dope or compound on any fittings used around fuel.

[@brittblanton8342]

Use power service to keep moisture out of your fuel and too keep it from jelling on your fuel filters in the winter.

[@chadharmon5716]

Spring is definitely NOT in there sir 😆

[@dejayblair7571]

You’re going to love that longer hose man!

[@kbtruck65blair64]

A swivel on both ends would've been a good idea.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video

[@DV-ol7vt]

When you first said you were going to cut that hose, I laughed! Those steel core hoses are hard to cut. You need a hydraulic hose cutter, but you got it, good job. Looks like a meat band saw in the back of the truck?

[@kennethunderwood2396]

Been watching a long time. Great videos. I can tell you put a lot into this. Thanks. Look forward to each one. I'm retired and have a similar setup. I also have a similar smile each day I'm out on farm. Caswell county not that far. Thanks again

[@laohantun7404]

What a great upgrade Josh....

[@Fellgla]

Coughing? I think it had a little gas before it got to the diesel. 😆

[@DickyBenfield]

We were just over your way last week. Visiting my parents in Brown Summit, north of Greensboro. Would love to find some land over around Pilot Mountain/Mount Airy to start a homestead. Once you get the butcher shop setup, you should hold some butchering classes. I would love to attend one before I get to that point.

[@122yamaharider]

Donkey getting outed at the feed trough

[@nathanbrowne8448]

Cut the hose with that new bandsaw that was in the unicorn truck. Lol

[@lorenfassett3965]

You applied enough teflon tape to choke a horse. A couple of wraps is sufficient, not 6-10 wraps. Maybe you fuel problems is from excessive teflon tape peeling off in the fittings when tightening things down, and plugging the fuel system on your tractors.

[@chelemichele1524]

That's crazy winters over for you guys...insane... we still have maybe end of March start of april... we are just getting into when it starts getting really cold and deep snow time.. Have a great evening ⛄⛄⛄

Great video thank you for sharing wooo

[@MrEddiekessler]

Another good one Josh. Keep it up

[@phillully4472]

Josh my guess is that unless you have an actual leak from that old hose.. then you shouldn't have water in your fuel.. that fuel is off road diesel which has a high tendency to create a lot of condensate in your tank.. that the formation of water.. i have worked in oil refinery's for 23 years and all storage tanks must be water drawn periodically to mitigate the water issue! Your water filter should work for that small fuel tank.. hope this recent upgrade to your tank will solve the problem. BTW. with that old hose could be checked easy for any collapsed part of the hose which is common sometimes just run a fish tape through the hose but that will only tell you of an obstruction in the hose! One other idea to see if you pumping water with your fuel is to simply pump a small amount of fuel into a clear glass jar you recycle from your kitchen waste stream. Let the fuel set for 10 min. and look at the very bottom of jar to see if there is water, the fuel will float on top of water! Best wishes with the water in fuel problem! I would also check the fuel from where you buy it keep the glass jar with that truck when you go to get more fuel.. dispense some fuel into the jar let it settle 10 min. and check the jar.

[@Will7981]

[@chevymarineretired]

The tape is to keep the thread from gaulding, not to stop leaks.

[@danvanninhuys745]

Awesome job,

[@steveb6103]

Rub it in why don't you! Spring is around April here. 😜 It was 6 ° here yesterday.

[@122yamaharider]

Ever thought that hanging the handle on the pump is allowing water and or moisture to settle within the nozzle, most of those are basically open to rain water to creep in. Id almost take a whole saw bit and drill a hole in tool box so hose can lay in box, oughta sight out of your way peace of mind

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Nice meat saw. I just sold one very similar to that . Enjoy your content 👍

Interesting - You indicated in an earlier video that you wanted the grain feeders down by the water so the cattle to drink and eat close together. Now you are moving the grain feeders back up the hill so it's more convenient (your words not mine) to fill them. Hmmm.

[@fooddude9921]

Nice looking bandsaw for the meat Josh! As you build out your processing area may I suggest you talk with a USDA rep. Even though your plan might not be to have a USDA processing approved plant right now, it may behoove you to take a "plan twice - build once" approach.

If you put some old fire hose over the fuel line it'll last twice as long. Talk to your country fire department

[@Keystonecole]

Josh from the size of the nozzle and the fact the hose was braking down from the inside it seams like the system was designed for gas and not diesel

Josh next time removing a hose with a nozzle on the other end. Once you break the seal, drain the nozzle. Learn that from my dad working on gas pumps back in the day.

[@srg6532]

I have a 275 gallon tank that Southern States comes to fill up for my farm diesal. The fuel is easily gravity fed to my equipment. I never have problems with dirt or water in my fuel. I use the same filter you have pictured in your video. My tank is under the roof of my shed. Those fuel nozzles are cheap, worthless and prevent gravity fed fuel. I made my nozzle out of a fuel swivel, all copper fittings, and a fuel ball valve. I stopped having problems with the nozzle when I went that route. Beware of some of the cheap hoses that some of these tractor supply places sell. I've had them separate (brand new) on the inside and restrict flow.
