    Ouch, I put gas in my Diesel tank, how much is too much

    from: http://www.turbodieselregister.com/mixing_gasoline_and_diesel.htm Gasoline and alcohols hit diesel fuel right where it hurts the most. Those light thin fuels will lower the cetane number and lubricity. To explain how octane and cetane DO NOT work together, I’ll have to review more crude...

    NV4500 won't shift when running

    Sounds like the right first thing to do to me. Clutch is not disengaging.

    JP-8 in a Duramax

    Based on this, I say no go in a Dmax: UNCLAS: Dist A. Approved for public release JP-8 is the United States Army’s fuel of choice for use on the battlefield. It was so designated by the Department of Defense in its “Single Fuel Forward” policy in 1988. JP-8 properties JP-8...

    1968 Bolens Husky 1050

    I hope it was that easy. Cleaning the fuel system is always a good place to start. You gotta give it up, why did you change the oil 4 times?

    Hope I dont have a problem?????

    To be clear, there are many quality filters on the market. Purolator, Bosch, Mobil 1, K&N, Wix, Motorcraft (dare I say?), just to name a few. And Amsoil/Donaldson at the top of the list for the Nanofiber offering.

    Hope I dont have a problem?????

    Rotella T 15w-40 has a kinematic viscosity of 15.7 cSt at 100C vice 14.2 cSt for the 5w-40 Rotella T6 synthetic. That is a little lower but both fall squarely into the 40 weight range at operating temperature. The main cause of the drop in indicated oil pressure is due to a reduction in the...

    Hope I dont have a problem?????

    For a gasoline racing engine the old rule of thumb was 10 psig per 1000 rpm, eg 30 psig for 3000 rpm up to about 70-80 psig, above that you had danger of spinning a cam bearing due to too much oil pressure. (Old school stuff) What you are observing is the reduction in head loss. Head loss is...

    1968 Bolens Husky 1050

    I LOVE those little guys. We've had 2 of them over the years. I would check for a vacuum leak. Try spraying wd-40 or similar (Amsoil MP for instance:D) around the area where the carb is bolted on. If you have air bypassing the carb that could do it.

    Amsoil Dual Bypass 10-11K mile Analysis

    Your vis at 100C is well into the 50 weight range. Amsoil uses the same SAE viscosity rating guidelines for kinematic viscosity as everyone else. Generally, overheating a multi vis oil will cause a drop in Kinematic Vis numbers due to shearing down of viscosity improvers. Have you switched...

    API SN and SN Resource Conserving oil goes live.

    It looks like there will be an SN and an SN Energy Conserving rating. It will be on a case by case basis as of right now.
