Not sure, i have a fiberglass top... someone will post up... but in the meantime ... :google:
I posted this in 1999:
I used to be able to get Preservo here, no longer on that either. My local canvas shop now sells "Rain Check" and "Weather Shield" to treat canvas. They said that the "Weather Shield" is the more toxic of the 2 and is not recommended for use when you are going to be under the canvas for extended periods. The "Rain Check" was the choice to take. In one gallon size they wanted $17.30 for the "Rain Check" and $17.50 for the other.
I'm sure the price has gone up since....
the Preservo was GREAT stuff...I have a gallon of it left and NO I'm not selling it.
Canvak.

Here's a review from that site too:
Quote:
"I restore and rebuild military combat equipment as a hobby and side business. I have used Canvak for a variety of needs, and I would have to give this stuff a definite thumb up. I used to get Canvak on the surplus market when they still used a lot of canvas truck bed covers, I had a hard time getting it until I found Cabelas handled it, and at a fair price which surprised me. Cabelas Rocks!
I have used it on military canvas truck seats, truck soft tops on military equipment covers and jeeps. Canvak seems to soften shrinking canvas and restore it to like new condition. You would not be able to tell an old canvas seat cover from a new one once you apply Canvak.
Most recently I sprayed a Swiss army brand vinyl tent with it and it work out unbelievably well. (I tried a small spot before I sprayed the whole tent.) I have used other products in the past that are silicone based. Canvak has with no contest proven to be the ultimate in water protection and durability, the silicone stuff just doesnt hold up. I have found the best way to apply Canvak is with a pump up weed sprayer. If you put it on a real fine mist it will apply the stuff about like a paint gun."
I have heard that Canvak leaves the canvas kind of greasy...anyone know if that is true or false?
I'm not familiar with the GM diesel specifically but you have Bosch injectors so I'm assuming the rest is Bosch as well.
The pump probably has a one-wire solenoid on it. Power to this will "turn on" the fuel, switched however you choose.
The glow plug controller sounds like a relay, timed in one way or another to shut off after 15 seconds or so, sooner if the engine is warm. You probably have a small gage control wire, small gage water temp sensor feed wire, small gage ground, large gage bat+ input, large gage bat+ output to the glow plugs. Power the large gage bat+ output wire (between relay and plugs) to the glow plugs for about 10 seconds just before you're ready to start the engine.
This is all off the top of my head, based on what I know about the standard Bosch mechanical IDI system.
If the pump has lost it's prime, you're in for some extra work but not difficult.

ya, the pump is syadine, or something like that.
Hey Stamp,
It didnt start raining till night fall last night. Hardly much rain. Its dry here now...just alot of clouds. This was supposed to be one helluva storm starting on thursday and lasting through the weekend. But as usual its about gone with not much rain. My biggest problem is that apperently a kid on my block got the ole' red rider b.b. gun for Christmas and has been practicing on vehicle windows around the block since Christmas day. I guess he knows better than to shoot at my Jeeps but the Pontiac wasnt so lucky. Busted drivers window and the rain got in. Gotta repair it today. I keep hearing in my head the classic saying "you'll shoot your eye out";) Talk to you later, Jay.
ha, that sucks!
its been raining here prety hard for 2 days now. its prety crazy, i timed it right thoug becouse the day befor it rained i got the doner truck with the 6.2, and had the motor pulled befor it started raining:happy10:
