Anyone

I recently requested help with manuals for a BTR-40 for a Polish
collector - the silence was deafening......
He has a problem with chronic fuel vaporisation with Russian vehicles
that use the clone of the Dodge motor, I seem to recall this
topic occuring before and was wondering if the Dodge fraternity could
email me with the cure (other than install an electric pump)?
I will forward any messages on to him. See below:

> problems in daily
> operation of Soviets GAZ51/63 family. And Dodge WC series (same
> engine!!!). By the way ? do you know solution for overheating of fuel
> pump (when engine is hot pump is getting hotter too and after some
> time fuel inside pump is start to boil and evaporate ? consequently
> engine is dead)? It's very stressful, especially when you drive up a
> mountain or a hill.
 
Regards
Doug
