:lol: I know the truck well, it was in for injectors about 2 months ago lost a 2000 mile trip for it. The mental midget had it at the shop for 4 days did nothing and the day before I was to leave sent it into Volvo for the valves. I drove it back to the yard the last time having to add power steering fluid 3 times a day the cooler was leaking, the repair shop was able to stop the coolent leak but could do nothing with the pressure lines. He will find there is a small glitch with the transmission shifter as well sitting at a stop light it sometimes likes to shift up and down for no reason. The air line from the compressior to the tank at the flair end likes to come loose at times if he starts having air build up problems that is where it will be. Take the line off and flair the end a bit more. You can do that with a ball peen hammer. I lost a bottle of perfume in there as well he can keep it when it rattles out. Have him avoid even the smallest grade when empty or he has a light load I was having serious problems with those tires and traction. Heavy there is no problem at all. ANOTHER instance where hiring the village idiot to run a shop as a manager is not a good idea, that man cant manage to get out of bed without help.
Anna you should be ashamed of yourself.Stop calling people names just because you are stupid.You are in Canada after all.Also known as the great white waste of time.
Brentanna, do you notice how he is envious of you? He wants you to stop calling the Shop Manager the village idiot because that is roobbbbbbbbeeeiiieebbiiees title and he thinks it is exclusive…
Would explain why he doesn’t like tall people though…
Sadly, there is a big difference between village idiots and natural born fools. Village idiots are usually nice and likeable, but rrroooobbbooiiiooeeooiiee is not likeable and is a natural born fool.
I think we should all club together and rent him a ■■■■■■ for an hour. If he got a bit of the other he may mellow out… Probably plenty near his slum.

OMG why would you suggest such a thing. I am sure the World Health Organization would not be happy with you suggesting we contribute in any way to the spread of this particular desease.
Question for you guys that have used the primer pump, do you really pump it 60/70 times, and how do you know when the right pressure has been reached (no jokes please )
The fuel does not go all the way down it will naturally level in the line at the height of the fuel in the tank. You will feel when it pressures up it will get harder to pump then it gets too hard to push back in you have your line primed. Number of times? when I have had to use one I have been too freakin upset to count.

Thanks. When i got this tractor they said DON’T run out of fuel or you’ll have to pump it at least 60 times, thought they were kidding. I have run out of fuel with older tractors though, just fill up the filter and crank away. One cabover i drove had the fuel filter out behind the cab and was upside down, had a plug in the top to pour fuel in so was a lot less messy, not that i made it a habit

That’s because of the newer high pressure common rail fuel systems, they operate at silly pressures, something like 20000psi, it takes a lot of pushing to get that pressure from a hand primer
On the older types, cracking off the bleed screw and a decent set of batteries made bleeding an engine a piece of ■■■■, sit in cab, turn key, splutter cough, start, ding dong

Back in the dark old day’s of transcontinental trucking in Europe we used to carry auxillary tanks on the trailers, some were as big as 2000ltrs, we used to pressurise them to blow the dieseasal over to the running tank on the truck, I’ve also had to use that method to get a twin tank/single stack pipe set up to get enough fuel into the running tank when low on fuel, the truck in question used to drink from the main tank quicker than gravity would equalise the fuel levels, especially at night in France when Les Flics were sleeping
Oh and Pat, your younger brother told me all about 1976, he reckons that when you started going grey
Oh, how we laughed when a clever ■■■■ decided to “blow some fuel” and the pressure was about 3 BAR It was hilarious as we stood pointing fingers as the BAG arrived with their handcuffs and clean up squad
Yeah, especially when self sealing suzies came on the scene
I had a step frame tilt that had a mahoosive belly tank, it went from the legs to the first axle, it also had a reverse thread tap so that when customs tightened it before sealing it, I could still get at my nice cheap diesel long before the Checko border Oh the inventiveness of the skint O/D
(no jokes please 
)
