    another thanks for the video, just getting ready to do my 03! FYI if you go to a diesel repair shop they have an aftermarket seal kit for the whole housing that has? the seals, and it’s only 13 bucks!

    There are 3 rubber fuel lines going to that fuel bowl the will dry rot. . you? can get the line at napa. . cut it to fit and take your time its a nice tight area but pretty simple

    How old is this video? Because you try and get that kit now is very difficult. . ?

    you should use a fuel conditioner or about a pint of 2? stroke oil in the tank, i heard that keeps the seals alive longer and lubricates everything better

  18. teoulennon says:

    @MrDonzzie hydrogen is a pure pipe dream 2nd law of thermodynamics. helium 3 from the moon. the only competition for? fryer fat other than biodiesel is comsmetics, not food for anything, it’s considered to be a biohazard. turkey fat is discarded into land fills. not any real market for it.
    . .

  21. MrDonzzie says:

    @circusboy90210 well I am sure that used cooking oil and Many other
    “left over’s” or scrap foods are made in to hog feed and dog food. . . Ect. . . . . . . . so in turn . . I would say . . . .
    bio fuels do bring the cost of food up witch leads me to? believe that making any kind of food weather it is for human’s or animal’s in to fuel is a bad idea! although hydrogen would be a Much smarter Idea. . . you can use salt water in a hydrogen generator and the salt also acts as a much needed electro light

  22. circusboy90210 says:

    @MrDonzzie used cooking oil is a great deal so is turkey fat beef renderings and many other “foods” but not foods that? people or animals should be eating.

  23. MrDonzzie says:

    @circusboy90210 actually the main reason there is sulfur in diesel fuel is for Lubrication. not to make the fuel smell good. . . . not to make it look blue. . . .
    its all about Lubrication. . . Remember we did not have problems like this before the government changed our fuel? also your so called “eco maniacs” are bull shit
    also turning food in to fuel is not a good idea by any means
