There is a black streak down my driveway the old camera didn’t pick it up very well. ( sorry )
The streak will only last about a day or two .
Any water I can dump out of the hopper before gasification means more energy for powering the motor vs energy used for boiling water .
Wayne i see the cutting torch out in that picture. It is always a bad day when you have to light that thing when you are fixing equipment.
The hot wrench gets work done though! Can’t be tight, rusted or seized if it’s a liquid 
Remember those stimmie checks? Instead of Game Stop stock, I bought barrels and barrels of $.94/gal premium gasoline from the Rez. I am down to my last 10 gallons.
Its all fun and games until Bruce Jackson has to pay $6.00 a gallon for premium! Holy Cow! I’m pushing all the gasoline powered stuff into the ditch and wheeling out the biodiesel powered stuff.
Guess who is hanging a gas producer back on an H again and cutting blocks on the belt? As a frog, I never realized the pot I was in was boiling…
Whelp, it’s a good problem to have because the solution is clear, and I can do something about it.
At least you have prior knowledge and the means to persevere. Can’t wait to see it!
Hy wayne/ I am curios about how many miles have you got out of your v10 burn tube/ before it burns out.Or melts down.?? THANKS
Good morning Kevin .
On the the old design fire tube ( 2011 ) I had a burn out at 4 years and about 20K miles .
The new version burn tube ( 2015 ) now 7 years and about 30k miles .
Hello all.
Does anyone know anything about the below paint?
I ran into what I thought was a good deal on five gallon of paint.
( $10) .My work truck needs a paint job real bad and I may just paint it this month . Paint color is Misty Blue .
I caint tell if it has a high gloss when paint weathers in the sun. I would open can after having the can shook at a paint store outet, and try painting a 12 by 12 " plate, it should say on the can what too thin with, if it is spray able type paint/mighjt be better tractor equipment paint, and or trailer frames, too be on the safe side.I dont know if it needs an activater or not. or spray a test panel ?
I’d go for it. Sounds like it would be a good finish for a work vehicle. Pretty sure it will orange peel quite a lot but it would provide great corrosion protection. Self priming but I’d take the time to go over the existing finish with a orbital sander. Not a fan of blue vehicles though.
Thanks Kevin and Tom 
I like Haint Blue, Hollywood Green, Firetruck Red and British Racing Green that’s about it.
Wayne, that was probably a $300.00 plus bucket of paint as purchased. Made for painting towers, so tough and weatherproof. This is what I would do: Clean a good size piece of metal to use as a test, mix that paint well and use a flat foam roller to paint the blank. One of those new mini-foam rollers work really well. That is how I have made sign blanks in the past. that will give you an idea on how it dries. then find a test place on your truck that you can paint over your existing finish, and make sure the new paint plays well with the old finish. The color is up to you! 
Thank you Mr. Mike I will gibe it a little test today
Use a cheap Harbor Freight spray gun. With a little fine tuning with the reducer you can get a very good finish. Throw it away when you are done. I find doing things that way is cheaper than buying rattle cans.
Allso make sure too find the exact thinning agent, these newer paints are more critticle too useing the exact thinning agent. Caint use gas too thin paints as much as i could with the older paints, or it will not set up right. Good luck on that test pannel. Should be good paint if it holds up on them towers i agree.
Thanks folks .
This morning I test painted a rusty drum, a galvanized trash can and a small place in the bed of my truck .
Seem to do well.
My plans was to let wife paint the truck with a paint brush . It is just a work truck
Happy Canada Day to all the maple leaf eating geese on the forum!
I never tried painting any old trucks with paint brush, though the price of all the paint supplys these days , makes it a possibility.I spray painted my first car at age 15, and about 10 or so cars since then. The only paint i am used to is the old acrilic enamal car paint, i painted one car with laquer paint/ that sprays easy/ but then you have too wet sand the paint with 6 to 8 hundred grit paper and then buff the paint.
