"THOSE AF combine rear axles. :-( "
Jon
What did you do , rebuild and reinforce or put different one on?
Another question..............
Would I gain in mileage by injecting LP in mechanically injected 5.9 Cummins in my pickup? Another words would combined gallons of LP and diesel be less than current gallons of diesel used?
Or would savings come from lower costs of LP fuel used.
I replaced the axle with the wider one from a salvage yard that better clears my chaff spreader. It got the reinforcing strap welded on before installing it.
In the case of our combine, it uses less combined gallons of propane / diesel than it does burning only diesel. It appears that the added propane helps the diesel burn faster/smoother /better, judged by no smoke, no rattle, and cooler operating temp while making more HP.
As to the Dodge / Cummins application. I would call Acme to get their take on it, should be a PH # in the link in my post.
My take is that the old mechanical fumigation system on my combine worked with most any turbo diesel. |
why not use propane injection on diesels?
