RE: Additional fuel tank
"IF" I were to add a in bed fuel tank I would NOT filter that fuel. Makes no sense if starting with a new tank. The fuel filtration on the 13 and up RAM/CUMMINS trucks is second to none.

RE: Air Compressor
Get the highest psi as a 125 will not fill a 125psi tire.

Yup, but won't pass the 50K lb crush test though!
That 35 lbs is the shipping wt. Actual dry wt is 30 lbs, plus 6 gals of compressed air. :)

Too funny I was thinking if it would pass the “crush test”.

RE: Air Compressor
We purchased a DeWalt 165 PSI pancake. Even this one takes a bit of time to get to 110.

This is my 165 psi DeWalt, likely same as yours. Mine does not take long to reach the 165 max, as indicated on quality gauges. It is also light wt, about 35 lbs.

RE: Air Compressor
Personally I am a advocate for blowing lines. I will take that chance over the pink stuff anyway. I carry a 2hp twin stacked tank Emglo compressor that i have bumped to 150psi so it will air my 125psi tires.
I used this compressor for many years doing finish Carpenter work and now resides in my RV basement.

RE: Air Compressor
Mine is the Porter Cable and I like it. I don't see why Craftsman won't be just as good. Be sure it is oil-free.
The thing that speeds up the process is the PSI it runs at. A 150 PSI rated compressor actually generates about 125 PSI. When you have 98 PSI in your tire and the compressor only generates 125 PSI, the air flows slowly because it is only 27 PSI difference. That is why the tire airs up faster, at first, when it is flat. It has a 125 PSI difference. The pressure differential is greater so the air flows faster. If you truly want FAST, get a (more expensive) compressor with higher PSI ratings. I know there are 200 PSI compressors, and there may be others.
Why oil free?

RE: Dumb mistake
Thanks for all the responses. Not worth the risk, but where do you dispose ?
Good luck on that. It’s so simple as I mentioned. Water will separate and be on the bottom of the tank. Ain’t rocket science.

RE: Dumb mistake
Water will settle to the bottom, it will roll around on the bottom looking like mercury. Slowly pour it into another container thru cheesecloth until the water is close to coming out. Now let the new container set for a day and then pour most of it into your truck.
Slosh around the containers and then pour out and let them set upside down to drain. Done!!!
I agree, water is heavier, and your description may be a doable solution, if there is no way to replace the fuel. I have to know, is this what you would do, fresh fuel readily available, or would you be more inclined to follow my advice, previously posted?
No reply needed...I already know. :C
Jerry
Since we are talking about a fuel container that most likely you can look into with a flashlight you would be able to see if the fuel has water and or debris in it. Not everyone has a creosote treated power pole at their property line as I do.
If I only saw water I would have ZERO issue doing as I said earlier. If full of crud then the power pole would get some preservative.

RE: Dumb mistake
Water and diesel engines do not mix, except in the radiator. Just dump the fuel. But dumping will be an issue for the environment.

RE: The world of tow vehicles would be a better place if
I want super singles tucked under the SRW fenders instead of a dually. Going to be a bit narrower between the wheel wells and that is fine by me.
What would that do for you over a 3500 SRW with 18's that have a lot of carrying capacity ?

RE: Bought a second truck.
If you got time throw another hose clamp on each end of the rad hoses. Two is always better than one and gives you a spare in case one let's go.

RE: Converting Onan generator from gas to propane
The key to any gasoline gen is using non ethanol gas. Or proper fuel stabilizer.
I would love to change my CUMMINS Commercial LP 6500 gen to gas. It’s VERY THIRSTY.

RE: The world of tow vehicles would be a better place if
4x4ord said: "Or how about if you could get a Powerstroke under the hood of your Ram"
Must be a rough winter up there, you feeling alright???
4x4 was close, with his idea, but best would be Cummins engine in the Ford!
Advantages...better looking truck, much improved mirrors, best IBC, and of course MADE IN USA.
Jerry
There is a company that does just that, "Fummins". Yes then it would be a mostly Made in USA truck.
