Not So Pro 3

[Tor R]

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

spent most of yesterday getting new parts into my system:

They were pretty empty before I started the hobby again.


Today's job will be to get the same done with the 242's.
Hopefully I'll get the new boot parts installed for a 560 I'm fixing up.

Morning men. Today is the World of Wheels car show. Gonna hang out with @JoeDirt for a few hours.

Do you remember, who it was that said they add sulphur back to there diesel for the lubrication purposes,
Ive been wanting to try it a for a bit but can’t remember the quantities/mixing volumes.

All I remember was sulphur powder and an amount of diesel , shake a lot then add some of the clear saturated diesel to a tank of diesel


I remember doing a bit about crude oil at college, different crude oil (depending on which oil field it’s obtained etc.) has different properties. Ie some has higher amounts of desirable stuff than others, and they can and do mix the crude oils it to obtain more desirable products other factors that are considered are market demands and cost of production and transportation.
This first link glosses over the process a bit. But the second link is more detailed

Crude oil blending: The Art of Crude Oil Blending in Midstream Operations - FasterCapital

Crude oil blending plays a crucial role in midstream operations, serving as the artful process of combining different types of crude oils to create a desired blend with specific characteristics. This practice allows midstream operators to optimize the quality and value of the crude oil before it...

That was me Sean, regular diesel had about 3500 ppm sulphur, low sulphur they cut it back to around 500, now it is the teens ppm. I use a small jar, add diesel and a spoon full of sulphur. Shake and leave sit. Add an ounce to each jug. No idea how many ppm it comes out to, but I no longer have that bacteria growth. Looks like rust or coffee grounds. That is bacteria. Big pain in the a55 in my industry. A way to sell expensive biocides. Which they don't seem to measure when it comes to emissions. About 1-1/2 gallons added per 10k gallons fuel for anyone that wants to figure it out. Kathon is one they use. Feel free to look into it.

Good morning men, happy Sunday, and keep those prayer going, many here need it. Even those you disagree with. Have a great day all.

Now they put corn squeezings in the diesel because its good for the environment. I had an 06 5.9 Cummins that śhit injectors constantly. To the point it washed the rings on two cylinders. I read where when Bosch had designed the cp3 and injectors there was way more sulphur in our diesel. I started adding diesel additive in the end to help before I traded that pile of șhit off.

If you could get you a 500 gallon tank and come up with a ratio for the sulphur and diesel you could drop the nozzle back into the tank and let the pump run that would be the easiest way to do it.

Good morning gentlemen. Its 55 heading to the mid 60’s. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I use about 20-40 gallons of diesel a year. I only put up hay on my 21 acres, not cost effective to get a tank. That would work though.

I watched an old unsolved mysteries episode tonight from back when Robert Stack hosted it and there was a wild story about a guy that owned a logging supply place in Fortuna or somewhere around there that had twin daughters one of which was killed in an apparent arson and the other one survived a 12 gauge to the stomach and supposedly his son did it.

It's season 6 episode 8 if you wanna check it out.

Donny Hansen, guilty as hell.

Not sure how true this is, maybe @Lnk can weigh in on this: I’ve always been told the further south, the lower the quality of diesel. When I traveled to Texas with my pickup, a couple truckers told me to only fill up at busy truck stops, and to fill my transfer tank full at home before leaving.

I followed their advice, and only filled up at Love’s stations, except at the furthest point south where I filled up, I pulled into a Valero - I was so nervous, everything about the place was sketchy, and dirty. I had brought diesel treatments with me, and added immediately with that tank. I had a little idle stumble for a bit, but it cleared up when I filled up at the next Love’s truck stop.

I probably should have just filled my pickup off the transfer tank - would have been no gamble then.

Good morning fellas. Church today, including the annual church council meeting.. Then, slacking. We’ve been on the go constantly for the last several weeks. All of us need to rest.

Most of the high volume stations pay more attention to the quality of the fuel in the tanks in the ground. The exposure financially of a truck stop is huge, as they pump a lot more fuel into vehicles. That being said, the fuel is filtered to 30 microns for diesel and 10 micron for gasoline. Bacteria is the enemy, if water gets into a storage tank, it becomes a petri dish for growth. I recommend major oil company flags and higher volume stations. If the place looks like hell, I avoid them.

I dont think there's any difference in quality but up north they put a antigel additive.

When theres graffiti on the walls and *s-word stains on the toilet seats I doubt theyre changing the filters on the pumps…drive away.

I do the same and fill up at either a decent truck stop or Buc-ee’s where they go through a lot of diesel. And I never fill up when a transport is dropping fuel.

On my L-Tank i run a 2 micron filter and when on trips i fill it first then drop hose from Ltank in my truck.

 

[Boomhower]

I filled up at a station some years back and got a big shot of water. When i pulled off i got stuck in traffic without a place to get off the road when the water in fuel light cane on. Before i could find a place to pull off with my trailer the truck died. Back then the fuel system was 12k and the insurance paid for it. Nowadays I hear thats hard to get them to do. It destroys the lift pump, high pressure pump, injectors and they throw away all the lines to make sure theres no contamination.

By the time weights and measures made there way to the station the water was gone presumably sold to someone else so the station got away with it.

Anchors are more effective, if not in sealed bins.

Just saying....

I have one of these to fill equipment out of cans and they work real well taking any moisture out, would be slow kinda at 3.5 gpm but you could fill your truck tank using this out of the sketchy pump and then fill your truck with pre filtered fuel from your tank.

Good morning. 20°F/ -7°C going up to 30°F/ -1°C.

Right now we’re running 50/50 blended diesel and I also treat mine with Amsoil All-In-One this time of year.

What filters do you run on your l-tanks for your equipment? Have you ever heard of hydra-sorb filters? They plug up instantly if theres any water in the tank.

Currently running the GPI 10 micron rated @ 18/gal min. I’m due for replacement soon - I’m open to any options.

There is almost never any water in our fuel here. I also keep my L-tank full to prevent condensation.

Crazy the jury found him not guilty. That was more obvious than OJ.
