      Sad story with happy end!

      Do you Rock Doctor know how Titan has worked and are users happy with it? Do you see better things in it vs. HDi?

          I've never taken one for a ride, but hear that the guys that are running them are really liking them. Have not heard of too many repairs being needed, other than one busted Front Axle Bearing Extension.

          Not a stupid question at all, but maybe a stupid answer.
          Basically, nobody gives a damn. If they need a container to hold soap, they will use whatever container they can find. The good guys will mark or tag the container, but others won't bother. Soap, Rigwash, Floor Cleaner can be purchased in Jerry Cans, then the MSDS Label will wear off at some point and never be replaced. When you're working 100+ miles out in the bush you have to improvise, you also have to realize that someone before you has already probably improvised at some point. It's quite common to find Jerry Cans with Glycol in them, or Methanol, or Engine oil, Chain Oil, Kontol, Distilled Water, Varsol, Hyd Oil, Hydrocarbons, ect. Some even contain Gasoline and/or Diesel

            Easy done. When I worked on the trucks a mate of mine was called out ( I was on holiday) to a landfill site to remove bed springs from around a propshaft on an 8 wheeler. The only way is to burn them off with oxy / acetylene (spring steel, used to do it all the time). As usual the diff pinion seal caught fire so he strolls to the van to get a can of water. Opens the can and takes a sniff to be sure then lobs it on the fire.
            Unfortunately he had flu so couldn't smell anything, what he actually chucked on the fire was a can of methanol kept on board for cold starts.

            I knew what was in the cans, it was my van

            Burns well does methanol
