Re: [diesel_mercedes] Digest Number 4684

 

This would worry me some. OK it's normal for a sooty coating of the inner walls of the exhaust pipes but a circular and visible build up.........can you remember where the glowing circle was, was it at joint, a weld or any restriction of the pipe that would attract build up? How far in was the build up?  It would have to be very hot to 'sluff' off in sparks.

I am trying to figure out if/how wvo could effect this but I really don't think it can. It will be interesting to see other responses you may get from this list.

Thanks for posting.

I noticed last night when I walked behind my idling 77 240D that burning embers
were emanating from the tail pipe.  I looked in and saw a glowing circle of
material.  I was thinking that the deadening material was somehow sluffing off
or I need a chimney sweep as I burn veg oil.  It was gone when I got home an
hour or so later.  Went 65 mph the whole way.  Lawrence Rhodes......
