Re: Fw: [Diesel-RVs] Used DP - not used much

The delamation that Jim is talking about is better identified as paint checkering. It looks like small blister like scratch lines, that will show up on painted dark colors such as dark blue, brown, or black stripes. You have to look at a angle to see it. That problem will show up on any coach manufacturer that used Owens Corning fiberglass. Chuck B

I am sure that others will have a much longer list of items but, I would want to check out:

Refrigerator to make sure that it works on all settings (AC, DC, and propane) if it uses all three.
Water pump -- make sure it is working
Hot water heater -- make sure it heats on all sources (AC, propane) and lights correctly on propane.
AC -- comes on and is cooling
Heater -- comes on and is working correctly
Run the generator and make sure it is working correctly
Would like to see all of the oil changes, air filter changes, etc -- the maintance records for the engine, generator, and the transmission.
Check all lights in the coach and in the luggage compartments
Check the "auto" part of the air conditioning
Also have maintance records for any "fixes" (slides, leaks, etc) been maintained.
Look inside of the coach for any signs of water leaks (discolored ceiling, etc.)
How old are batteries in the coach.

Again, I am sure that others will have a better listing of items to check but, this is a list that I would start with.

Re: [Diesel-RVs] LED lights on dash

Philip

Radio Shack now has "snap in" LED pilot lamps already for 12VDC. No
dropping resistor necessary. I think it's already in the case. These are really
easy to install. Drill the specified hole and pop the lamp in. Connect to
whatever you're monitoring.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Driveshaft question. Transmission removal. Success.

The driveshaft is indeed removable. It comes out the back best with help
from what looks like some sort of shaft within a shaft in the center bearing
assembly. I just used a big wrench and it compressed. Yes there is some
sort of telescoping feature of the drive shaft. It does come out the back
best. I left the rear doughnut on. Marked the back but forgot to mark the
front. Lawrence Rhodes...

[diesel_mercedes] Re: 300TD Fuel Tank Cleaning

I have a US market 300TD, a 1985. The 46MM hex on the bottom is your fuel strainer, at least that is where mine is. To clean it, you can get a bolt with a big enough head on one end, and a nut on the other and use that as a tool and unscrew it, or you could probably unscrew it with some large locking pliers or slipjoint pliers.

Before you do this, run as much fuel out as you can, and allow for at least 4 or 5 gallons to run out, with a container of some sort below. It will be really hard to get the stink of Diesel off so wear rubber gloves and a clothes you are really tired of.

The tank screen can be easily cleaned with a toothbrush and a solvent, such as gasoline, or isopropyl alcohol, and then an old toothbrush and soap and water. The original screens and copper with a plastic mesh, the newer ones are aluminum and plastic mesh, and the mesh is quite durable. here is a gap at the bottom of the screen so that some fuel can pass even of the screen is clogged. Mine was almost entirely clogged, and took about 30 minutes to clean, after which it looked like new. The filter screen is somehow attached to the feed flowing to the engine. The two lines at the forward end of the tank are a feed line and a return line.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] cold starting

Karl,

Do you have a heated fuel tank? If so, what do you use?

Subject: Re: [diesel_mercedes] cold starting

Brian

That's good advice, here's some stuff I do:

On my twin tank 300d wvo fueled Chevy van sits outside in all weathers:

First dig said vehicle out of snow drift whilst hoping that the silicone lube on the weather seals is still working so you can get the doors open, and if you locked it, that the graphite is is doing it's job. Sprinkle sand, ash and stuff on ice front and rear of wheels in case rocking momentum is required to gain momentum. Don gloves so as not to leave skin on door handle, climb in prepare to start engine.

I use a thinner winter grade motor oil between October and April because even engine oil gets thick when cold.
I've got a 240v block heater but I only use it at > -10c (when I remember and if I know there's cool coming on)! And if I can find the business end under the snow.

BUT, and this is the important thing, I've got TWO 125ah batteries, one does the glow plugs for 20-30 seconds the other spins the engine when ready. Both batteries are kept charged and I monitor this with 2 proper amp meters, and there is a facility for recharging from domestic if needed.
I know my loop glow plugs work but I am saving up for the modern kit anyway. I don't have any fancy relays, just one wire to a HD spring switch from the + pole on it's dedicated battery and one from the switch to the glowies.
Earth terminals are to chassis and engine and they are clean with copper paste protection.

BOTH the clutch and the accelerator pedals are floored and held until the engine starts, which is always on Dino or Bio diesel. It always starts straight away unless I forgot to switch something off the night before.

When the engine settles down to a tick over it's time to get out and scrape the windows which sometimes needs a heat gun to break the armor ice, which is why it's handy to have the block heater feed nearby.

It takes 4 - 7 km's before switch over to wvo, depending on the cold. The block heater makes no difference to this but there is some other stuff I may do to speed things up.
I was having trouble with starting too some years ago until I did the 2 battery thing. It stands to reason really that if you're tiring the battery first by juicing the glow plugs for a while coss it's cold, and then ask the same battery to crank a cold stiff 5 banger at speed - well, it's all a bit unreasonable really.

Best wishes
KJ

Would starting fluid help in addition to the block heater being

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Driveshaft question.

Lawrence, I feel your pain. Your difficulties removing the driveshaft brought back a flood of memories form when I removed the transmission from my 77 330D, just over a year ago.

I ended up disconnecting the drive shaft at both ends, and removing the two bolts that secure the center carrier bearing. I was then able to drop the driveshaft down at the rear differential, and pull the whole assembly back just enough to get the rubber doughnut off the transmission. Oh, I had also already removed the transmission cross-mount, and the rear of the transmission was dropped down. It took a fair amount of prying at the yolk, wiggling the drive shaft and jiggling the transmission to get ths shaft to seperate from the it.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Diesel fuel

I just put a quart in yesterday. I've never been checked by CHP in 20 years, but you could always keep an empty jug in the trunk to argue your case. And, take it to court if you were ticketed - but I think it would snow in Saudi Arabia before that would happen. Live dangerously and go fo it. I can just imagine my wife getting pulled over and the cop asking her to open her fuel cap so he can stick his dipstick in. Don't think she would be amused.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Pulling a trailer with 240D

Greetings,

I once read a book titled "The Berkley To Boston Forty
Brick Lost Bag Blues", yes, it was about college
student pot dealers. Very funny.

Enjoy!

Yea, post one, I have dial up. Yes 6X6 or X8, whatever. I've heard for
plowing snow on back roads, 4X4 is probably best. Dont know about tandem
axles, but it sounds like way too much stuff under there unless you are
hauling major loads across really bad roads or no roads. I have a friend
here who had a 60's Dodge Power wagon 1-1/2 ton , put a ten foot plo on
it and found out it plowed much better after he took off one the duals
on each side. We're just starting to get more snow here, still have
the arctic front over us. Had sunshine and cold all week, really nice.
If you gotta have snow its much better to keep it below freezing, makes
life much easier. I got a great picture of my boys Subaru buried after
that first big snow up at Donner a couple of weeks ago. That much snow
just blows my mind, I couldnt handle that if I had to go outside
much. 2 to 3 feet is just about right, just enough to enjoy it but not
too much to make your life miserable. Max

We have a U-haul hitch installed on our 240. Had them install it too. I
wrote in a few days ago but it was one post that didnt come tru. Its
just as Jeff describes, bolted to the unibody, does not look like you
would want to trust your life to it. It could be easily "beefed up" with
some extra steel. I'm not real worried about it falling off as only
light loads are pulled. Its a 240. I dont think you could(should) pull
much with a 240 anyway. Snomobile weighs about 400lbs trailer the same
or less. . Max

Nope, for some reason that happens. I guess it must of not been that
inportant. But I said nice pictures, you have more than me now, and you
really should get a Ponton before you quit, they are sooo much fun to
