    Run the fuel line like a semi truck. In a semi the suction and the return line have tees mounted in the center up high on the frame with equal length lines going to each tank. This equalizes the fuel in both tanks buy the siphon principle. Semis used to run bottom crossovers but they stopped in the 90's to prevent fuel spills.

    • @dangerrangerlstc
      @dangerrangerlstc 11 місяців тому +7

      That works well on level roads, not sure how well it'll work off road.

    • @OhCanada1867
      @OhCanada1867 11 місяців тому +22

      @dangerrangerlstc it will work the same as the bottom crossovers. Semis use a vent with a floating ball that closes the vent if the truck gets inverted or if parked on an angle and one tank gets overfill. Like when they get layer on their side.

    • @dangerrangerlstc
      @dangerrangerlstc 11 місяців тому +16

      @OhCanada1867 it's not the vent I'm worried about. I work on semi trucks for a living. Proper equal draw, equal return relies on the fuel weight in each stand pipe being equal for it to return and draw correctly. If, when the fuel level is below a 1/4 tank, either one of the stand pipes comes out of the fuel, it will suck air and shut off. For Paul's case, bottom draw with a sump would be ideal. Less chance of sucking air. Maybe bottom draw on both tanks with some sort of simple float check valve so if one tank uncovers the sump with fuel, it will close off and suck from the other tank.

    • @mrcschubbyboymodels2503
      @mrcschubbyboymodels2503 11 місяців тому +6

      Once you have it all hooked up and running make sure you keep the vent tube clean and don't let it get clogged up! It will run all the fuel from one tank out and the other tank will be full! I have this problem in my kenworth ! Though I ran out of fuel but still had one tank full!

    • @OhCanada1867
      @OhCanada1867 11 місяців тому +7

      @mrcschubbyboymodels2503 they leave the draw 1/4 off the bottom so debris and water don't get sucked up. Paul isn't Matt so I'm not too worried about him running the fuel so low one side sucks air. Extreme angle crossover takes a while. Unless the truck is parked on a severe angle for a while it should be OK.

    Your right fuel tank is capped on the top. If the left is the same, your fuel pump is pulling the tanks to vacuum, which would also pull down your fuel header pressure. Each tank should be vented so it can flow fuel/not get collapsed. Maybe install conventional top mounted pumps/returns to each tank with a fuel selector switch is the safer/easier way to go.

    • @nathanielclawson24
      @nathanielclawson24 11 місяців тому +2

      I second this. Vacuum in the tanks by not having some sort of breather port. Hence why it starts initially, but pulls too much vacuum for the pump to keep pumping, so the engine shuts off.

    • @nsaanity

    Are the fuel tanks pressurizing? I don’t know if they’re vented or not. If the return line is pressurized that much it’s probably pressurizing the tank and stopping the feed line. Try removing the cover you burned out and see if it stays running. Theirs a lot more fuel returning to the tank than people would think. Worth a shot?

    When they were still using a fuel crossover line, there were 2 valves, one for each tank, and the crossover line was supported by a piece of angle iron, the way you have it, if it gets snagged by anything, that entire line could be torn off, which is something you don't want

  • @adamvargo403
    @adamvargo403 11 місяців тому +8

    You are gonna want to run your fuel line above your drive shaft just like on a semi. Also, I would put your crossover line out the front or back of the tank, not the bottom, to avoid them being broke off. Just a suggestion.

    • @jonnywilson9117
      @jonnywilson9117 11 місяців тому

      Could work, but you wouldn't ever get an equal amount in the tanks if you were to run them down toward almost empty. If they were raised, they'd only end up equalizing to the highest point of the crossover tube. Which is why they're mounted from the centre and under the driveshaft. They'll no doubt build a skid plate and have the crossover tube secured to the top of the plate to keep it level but at the lowest point of the tanks. They can put it higher up, but that's only if they're not ever planning on going down to less than 1/8th of a tank. I imagine with tyre/tire size it'll have more than enough ground clearance to not have the potential of hitting the tube. I doubt Paul will be taking this through trails that would be certain to catch the tanks. If anything hits the bottom of the tank, that's a big problem. It wouldn't take much to open either tank up with an impact or from scraping a rock or the ground. Pretty sure bottom centre is the best and only real place to have crossover tubes if you want both tanks to all have an equal amount of fuel when they're low on fuel. You can guarantee they'll run into situations where they run pretty low. IF the crossover tube is not at the very bottom, they'd run into issues with the tanks not being equally fuelled, which would mean you wouldn't know how much fuel you've got left.

    • @adamvargo403
      @adamvargo403 11 місяців тому

      @jonnywilson9117 The suction from the vacuum side of the lift pump helps it to pull from other tank. I've never had an issue yet. This is why on semis the cross over tube is ran under the cab right above the trans. The cross over tube is ran in the middle of the tank and has a pick up tune running to the bottom. The vacuum from the primary pulls from the secondary to keep constantly equalization in both tanks.

      @jonnywilson9117 11 місяців тому

      @@adamvargo403 It doesn, no I just got to that part and yes they're running fuel from the bottom of the tank instead of out the top. But I imagine separate lift pumps for each tank would be pointless and just a waste of money when they're not actually needed.

    • @adamvargo403
      @adamvargo403 11 місяців тому

      @jonnywilson9117 don't need separate lift pumps for each tank just one, again like on a semi truck. From the side of the tank there is a pick up tube that runs to the bottom of the tank. The lift pump pulls from the primary, and the suction from the primary pulls the fuel from the secondary to equalize the tanks. No need for 2 lift pumps. It's the same setup on a semi that I'm explaining.

    You may need to run an electric lift pump on this truck. If you are running a large diameter feed line, just the weight and volume of the fuel in the line can stall out mechanical factory pumps. Not too mention, since the electric pump will be before the fuel heater and filter you should see leaks easier

    Many diesels can be started backwards. They usually won't run well, and they will intake through the exhaust and exhaust through the intake. Saw it happen on a Cat motor grader. The operator lugged it to a stall, with compression on one cylinder, and it re-fired backwards. He drove it back to the yard backwards in high gear. He thought it was funny, but it wrecked the engine because the oil pump was running backwards and the bearings ran dry.

    Also your fuel return should be on the same side of your draw because the fuel isn’t going to equalize from side to side so fast s as the return sends fuel back. Oh yeah if you can put your crossover at the end of each tank instead of off the bottom you will have less issues with it getting broken off. Check with Merlin I’m sure he’ll confirm that.

    The flat back high capacity diff cover is not all it's cracked up to be. I ran one on my dually hauling heavy and my diff oil always smelt burnt. More fluid only means longer to heat up and more oil to try and cool off. There is a reason that factory covers contour the ring gear. It provides better flow to the pinion area and reduces turbulence/aeration in the oil. Banks did a really good video on how the oil flows with one of these type covers.

    Paul,
    Speaking from experience with logging rigs I can tell you that fuel cross over line is going to cause you allot of problems. I suggest you hard pipe it and either go forward and across where the tranny mount is or go backwards and cross above the rear axle, it needs allot more protection for your intended use. Also those shut off valves need protection as well, trust me they are not that strong, it will only take 1 rock, 1 tree stump, low hanging limb or a slight high center to break them, and there goes your fuel. PROTECTION, PROTECTION, PROTECTION. Oh and 1 other thing, you need to consider the heat that exhaust system is going to have on the fuel tanks, and cab (heat).

  • @sanjosejeff
    @sanjosejeff 11 місяців тому +9

    Hey Paul, out here in norcal we also have a big problem with biodiesel clogging up fuel filters. Lots of guys are running the airdog2 system which upgrades the fuel pump and gives you basically a huge pre fuel filter that can allow the huge cat filters if you want to run them. You rarely have to change the primary filter as it is now protected by the airdog system. I’m sure Merlin is familiar. It’s been a big help for me and since I’m in a 6.7, the primary filter is tucked in behind the left inner fender & it’s a pain to get to. Now I just reach under the chassis and spin the airdog filters on and off.
    Also, retired San Jose fireman here and been involved in spec writing and building rescue rigs( one has a knuckle boom crane). We use the crap out of go lights on all our rigs. They make black ones that might look good on top of the headache rack. One on each side. The controls mount nicely on an inside console. It’s nice because you can aim light where you need it during a recovery.
    Hope this helps.
