[diesel_mercedes] Re: Metric Cresent Wrenchs

 

Thought I was putting you on eh Ben?

Actually I lost it years ago, but had a really nice little stilson style adjustable King Dick and kept it on my key chain, t'was cool, would open to about 1/2" so was a cool little pocket wrench.

This thread has taken more turns than a hooker on Saturday night.  Thank you from resurrecting it from politics.  I get enough of that tired meme in my daily life.  Come here to hide.

Isn't old-school Coleman stove/lantern fuel (aka "white gasoline") also
naphtha? If I remember correctly, Coleman's official position is that the
fuel burns cleaner than regular unleaded gasoline because it doesn't have
the additives and cracked hydrocarbons in it that can leave residue. Your
local WalMart may carry "Ozark Trails" brand Coleman-compatible fuel, if you
want to save a few additional bucks over brand-name product. However, I
noticed that the Walmart I happened to visit today no longer stocks it,
though they did have small jugs of Coleman brand fuel. Me, I buy the stuff
by the gallon when I do. It has an official shelf life of 5-7 years before
denaturing, and I know people who have used much older fuel than that.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: 83 300d No Air Coming from Center Vents

 


>> Hi, get rid of your car and get a 240D. None of that CC crap, only difference is you go a bit slowere, Max

Max,

I did have a 83 240d Manual car with about 160,000 miles. It was a great car but I sold it for a profit. Main reasons why it was sold was because my wife cannot drive a stick and the car was not converted to run on wvo. I have this car that runs on wvo and a 2002 that runs on blended on wvo if we wanted it to.

Your right, the 240d is slow. I wasn't really that bad. Probably because I had the manual. But, I had to pay attention on how I drive so I would not hold up traffic.
