THE DEUCE IS BACK! I go over the different fuels you can use in a M35A2 Deuce and a half with it's Multi Fuel engine. I also touch on methods to filter used motor oil and used vegetable oil fuels. Please keep in mind that any time you don't use official diesel you are running a risk of engine damage so attempt at your own risk. If you enjoyed this video please give me a like and be sure to subscribe for future channel updates as I plan to put up a new video every week or two. I’m B.C. and welcome to my channel Deuce and Guns!
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.
I owe you a salute
Hope you’re doing well.
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.
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.
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.
Thats. Lot of beans
Spend $10 at Taco Bell and drive for a week. LOL!
Just piss in the tank it’ll be fine
If no diesel, you had to mix oil with gasoline, or PD2. AVGAS was not compatible with the fuel density compensator.
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.
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.
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.
Risky with a truck built to be light as posible but id of done it no regrets but id do a wood floor
Yeah when you think about it...that is what...4 Gallons per hour...because 50 is about all you wanna drive...LOL
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
"Does it do a good job? Not really."
LMFAO. Bro you're hilarious. This had me rolling 😂
This rugged tech is gonna become very useful again very soon
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks, and you're correct that a lift pump in good working order really helps.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!

Can you share link to that manual. I found a 1100 page one. Yours look less pages.
Appreciate all you post!
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 😂
We refer to those white bag filters as "sock filters". Just some industry slang terminology, in case you were interested.
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.
I've got a 17ft bed that never has to be maaaade,There's just something woman love about a
Duece and a half maaan,
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
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.
These engines are worth their weight in gold today
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!
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.
***** I thought so. That's a good idea too.
I thought transmission fluid wasnt designed to burn?
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.
Ben Kempa dunno but it's a common fuel additive to clean injectors at least on two stroke Detroits anyway.
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
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!
I put a ounce per gallon on 2 stroke oil form Walmart in my 24vcummins
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!
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...
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!!!!
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.
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.
Every time he says Deuce &1/2 take a shot... lol
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.
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.
most run a second tank, then switch to diesel before shutdown,,to flush the system a bit maybe that would help?
I use the cone type air filter to filter my waste oil, then I filter it through an inner air filter for a tractor. works great.
I run strait oil or hydraulic love it. In the winter just add around 5 gal of pump gas
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.
Nice. Liked and Subscribed. I ran some mixes in my Ford 7.3L filter filter filter.... More the better 1-5 micron
as for info on a truck I want to buy, this is one of the best informative youtube vids I have seen, thanks D & G!
Thank you. If you have any questions about something I've not covered just yet let me know.
@@deuceandguns 2 stroke motor oil
Really looking into getting one of these...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Marine fuel oil has nothing to do with used motor oil from cars. Bunker fuel, which you *cannot* use in your multifuel engine, is the tar-like stuff left after the gasoline/kerosene/diesel are boiled out of crude oil in the fractional distillation process. Marine fuel oil is essentially the same as off-road diesel (it's even dyed red). The same CAT diesel engines that such down off-road diesel on land are fed marine fuel oil when they're installed in ships, and they run for thousands of hours between overhauls. Sulfur limits are the only thing I'm aware of that are likely to vary at all.
Jet fuel is closer to kerosene and provides less lubrication, especially to the fuel injectors, so expect a little more wear or consider adding a splash of oil like Mazda owners with dorito-engines (Wankels) do to lubricate their apex seals. The Army runs all their "diesel" vehicles on jet fuel, so they undoubtedly have data on this stuff, maybe it's a non-issue and just a myth. I haven't researched it that closely.
Gasoline is an emergency fuel. Don't dump it in the tank because it's cheaper than diesel. You should only run gas to either familiarize yourself with multi-fuel operations in training, or in an actual scenario where diesel or kerosene are unavailable.
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.
I love your show about the deuce and a half because I'm buying one soon as I get my money and you have gave me a bunch of tips on how to maintain the deuce thank you I appreciate your shows
Thank you for the information. Very helpful and educational. I plan to get a truck in the future and your vids really help with my ability to be educated once I get the truck. How, bout what you may need to do once you buy a auctioned or used Deuce?
#suggestion
Tips for those Deuce owners looking to do upgrades on their Deuce
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..
When I was at Fort Rucker Alabama, peanut growing everywhere around there. We joked that the army was running them on peanut oil. Don't think they were but near the base was the peanuts capital..
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.
Motor oil is relatively clean as it is/20micron avg oil filter. So just put on a big $20cat 5micron filter & just change it every 5K, saves you a lot of $ for fuel since our politicians don’t like it when we get 20mpg, on cheap fuel we can make in our back yard.
Good to know, always enjoy your deuce and gun vids
you also can run it on hydraulik oil... it works pretty good :)
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?
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
Use lots of magnets on the outside of a metal bucket to filter the oil. Gets all the metal particles out.
Excellent video BC. The Deuce is a great truck. Wouldn't mind owning one. Especially the older ones with the multi-fuel engines.
***** 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?
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.
***** 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.
I want a deuce and one day I’ll have one
I have one and the motor blew a piston out, so I put a 12 valve in mine
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
Great video! Thanks so much!!
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
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!
+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.

Another fine vid sir! love that opening music. They old Deuce's on the confidence course here have been removed sadly. still catch them around the range once and a while.
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.
@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
thanks for all the info about your truck. i really want to find one. i think they rock
Easy just to use and electric fuel pump and a cheap fuel filter or oil a spin on oil filter.
cheap and fast and easily available.
Great Video thanks for the tips, Maybe a video idea would be how to boast a M35 with the military port
Wow, great video - I wonder why it just now showed up, but grateful it did. Have you tried your proposed method of filtering used motor oil yet? If so, did you video it? I have got to try this method for my Deuce. Thanks so much for the time you put into these videos!
4:05 This is why batteries should never become the only option.
Biodiesel and the cooking oils make more power because those oils have a more violent explosion in the combustion chamber
And has a lower ingition temp
Tht is an excellent fuel
Can you do a video on how such a multifuel engine works? Im befuddled at the seemingly good technoloy but also questioning why we dont use this tech still
I wonder if I can run a farm tractor on used motor oil, or on peanut oil? 🤔
Thx for make those video's, I like to see you telling and doing thing with your Deuce
I'm looking into buying a deuce and a half. what are the prices that seem reasonable?
Are you my brother from another mother. Love this
Great series
I love these old trucks...would really love a bobbed unit...
Mike Brown they tested the four wheel versus a the standard six wheel. the four wheel was less able to traverse and climb.. keep the extra axle
Mike Brown the problem with bobbing them is normally with the 3rd axle frame and bed the weight ratio is a 70/30 with 70 % being in the front drop the weight of the extra axle bed and frame and now you are closer to 90/10 with all the weight on the front no traction and have heard stories of the rear tires lifting an inch or 2 off the ground with heavy braking completely looses its off road capability
jeb baxley thanks did not know that...
i bought mine in july of last year with the intention of bobbing it but after doing quite a bit of research decided she was too beautiful to hack up
jeb baxley like a bulldog.. so ugly...they're cute..
I had to watch the vid 2 times. All the "deuce" jokes in my head got me distracted.
cool thing is that you can just take the used motor oil right out of your duce and throw it right into the fuel tank (after filtering)
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.
So pour just about anything in it. Got it.
Good video! But I have developed a better filter system. I took a 300 gallon tote hooked a good water hose to the bottom to a old 30 gallon Electric water heater where it says in. Then I came up with a double quart and half filter off a old locomotive engine. Or ( a X ternal system off a diesel truck) I use a electric fuel pump for a diesel truck. To go back to the tote. I like to strain about 100 gallons at a time. So your circulating the same oil in and out of the tote for about 24 hours. I run this at 50/50 diesel in my 1992 Dodge 5.9 and a bobed deuce that I have. My fuel then goes down to about $2. A gallon. 👍
That's a nice setup. I really don't have access to that much used motor oil on a regular basis or I'd have a better system myself. I may need to make friends with a Jiffy lube owner.
Do you only mix a quart of oil if your filling up from empty or. Regular diesel or do you add more then a quart? Any specific ratio of diesel to oil just to be sure it gets the lubrication it needs or is one quart fine for any fill up? Also what kind of oil do you use with the straight diesel to help it? it a sae30 or just a 10-40 oil?. I appreciate your time and these great videos
That is all great but where do you get parts when this 1971 truck breaks down?, especially the pump.
I'm in the market for a deuce. Great advise in the videos.
i love the show! I'm wondering if you would ever consider bobbing your deuce or getting another and bobbing that one, i've seen some that look pretty badass.
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.
Interesting video. Always heard about these things from military people i know.
You mention ethanol being harsh on it because of the lack of lubrication, what about an ethanol/biodiesel mix? In my area I can’t grow anything that puts out enough yield to make it worth the land. Ethanol on the other hand can be as high as 1000 gallons an acre.
Man your videos are very interesting... just keep go on...
