[diesel_mercedes] mileage

 

    I've been tooling around for more than a year with my radio antenna stuck all the way up.  A couple of weeks ago, some mutt finally snapped it.  The internal nylon string kept the top part from falling away, so it's been dangling about 2/3 of the way up as I drive. 
 
    Today, I went out to Nate's house where he has a stash of the things.  We put one in that is working properly.  Ta Da! 
 
    On the way home, I filled up. 398 mi. / 14.561 gal. = 27.333 mpg.  Not bad for a big car, working its way up to the 351,000 mile mark, while lugging 300 lbs of ME, plus a 3-drawer tool box, small tool box, and various spares and camping supplies in the trunk.  Of course, I rarely go much over 70 mph. 
 
    Gotta love these old tanks.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Summertime Blues (AC Service)

 

If you have a compressor, you can use a venturi-type vacuum pump.  I've had pretty good success with one of these:

It is important to _NOT_ just add refrigerant @ home using a DIY kit as this will inject some moisture into the system and sooner or later this will _always_ come back to bite you , in a $erious way as the tiny bit of moisture corrodes the delicate aluminum of the condensor and evaporator as well as other parts .

DIY repairs & flushing out , compressor replacement etc. is fine & good but always take it to a shop and have it properly evacuated before re filling the system .
