You just have to point out the advantages to owning a
$1000.00 used P/U truck Ed. Like hauling stuff home from Home Destruct on
Saturday, dump runs to clean out the hanger, etc, and while you're at it, you
bolt in a tank.......

Good idea, Greg. Now if I only had a
truck {:>). I personally prefer a tank mounted on a truck as compared
to a trailer pulled behind. Hummm, perhaps this is the time to hit the
spouse up for a truck - "Gee Dear, it will only take XX years to pay for the
truck with the money I save on Mogas {:>) - not certain how well that would
go over (actually, I know very well how it would go over {:>))

Hey Ed;
I am planning to just keep my 100 gal truck mounted
backhoe tank in my truck. Will flush it out and go from there.
Those tanks are pretty cheap, and usually come with a good hand
pump.

You are undoubtedly right, Dave.
While even spam cans are going to Mogas - here I am still using
100LL. I think I'll keep my eye out for one of those 50 gallons
tanks on wheels - 50 gallons is the limit (I believe) here in NC before
you need a commercial license to haul it. It would certainly
pay for itself quick with the differential over $1.00/gallon (or
more).

Ed, I think you should just switch to MOGAS. Now
that I have my system down, it actually takes less time and hassle on
average than taxiing 200 yds to the pumps. My 30 gal gas caddy and
12v pump have already paid for themselves.

Good idea, Scott. Gun bore
cleaners/solvents been suggested before. What I have found
out is none of the gun cleaners are true lead solvents. It takes
something like foaming nitric acid to dent lead - of course that is
lead in the metal form - something less drastic might work on what
appears to be a lead crystal form of some sort. (If view under a
magnifying glass you can see glints of light off what appears to be
crystal facets - of course, I guess it could be carbon.
In any case, I would greatly like to
find something that would remove the stuff from the ceramic cone - my
belief is that a large amplitude ultrasonic cleaner might shake/jar
the deposits off the ceramic. But, don't have one of those handy
to try out {:<(.
I did try some ordinary TCP (and some
specially formulate TCP) used to remove/minimize lead deposits in air
cooled aircraft engines. That did not work either, it appears
that the for the chemical reaction to be effective - it needs the
higher temperatures encountered with air-cooled cylinder heads - the
relative cooler rotary apparently just doesn't get the metal and spark
plug hot enough, long enough - (at least that's my
theory).

I wonder id SAG effected spark plugs could be chemically
treated to remove deposits on the ceramic? When I was in to
shooting at Dept of Civial Marksmanship matches, we used some liquid
products to remove lead and or copper fouling from the barrel, some
were for scrubbing, some for soaking. Perhaps soaking the ends of
the old plugs in bore cleaner or something? bleach? Carb cleaner?
tomato juice? Who knows? Just an
idea. Scott
