Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Citric acid radiator cleaner

 

Nate,

Sorry for the inconvenience.  Stays up for me.  Maybe someone has an idea what I did wrong.

I thought about copying it.  But I can not get it to copy.

Sounds good to me ;

The MSDS link opens for a few seconds then gives me runtime error messages & closes again before I can read it ....

[diesel_mercedes] Citric acid radiator cleaner

 

Autozone now carries a radiator cleaner that may have citric acid:

<http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Prestone-33-8-oz-super-radiator-cleaner/_/N-262g?itemIdentifier=525162_0_0_>

Although the advertising copy says it is non-acidic, the active ingredient is sodium citrate and, in the middle of the MSDS, they say it is citric acid.

<http://econtent.autozone.com:24999/znetcs/msds/en/US/525162>

Is this the real thing or just confusion?

[diesel_mercedes] Good & Bad Junkyard News

 


O.K. , last Thursday as Tom and I were feverishly working against the clock , P-A-P was just beginning to fill in a row as we left , to - day I disvovered the second car in was a near cherry NA European Spec. 300D in shiny dark blue paint . Euro. Bumpers and all , they were *perfect* ~ better than the ones on my Coupe .

Naturally , a nice young fellow had already removed the bumpers , fenders, doors and hood for purchase , his boss runs an indie M-B Shop and buys up al these parts he can , I have no idea whom he sells too but them's the breakes , =8-( .

In the next row was a W-126 with the cleanest , tightest turbo I've ever seen in Pick-A-Part so I took it , it's not a Garret T3 , the Mfr's symbol is a big 'S' crossed by a horozontal bar.....

I'm gambling it'll be the best $105.00 I've spent in years .

I tried to take the IP too but you need to remove the oil filter cannister and I didn't have the allen bits to do that .

I got a few other good things cheaply too then skedaddled off to Pasadena where it wasn't any cooler (dammit) , at least there was a nice breeze .

All in all , another nice day out .

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check 1982 240D Slushbox

 


AC used the whole tank , mostly around town driving , the dang fuel filter bolt that was dry as a bone when I was wking on the car , has decided to weep a tiny bit so I guess I'll begin trying other bolts , I have a few spares .

This last fillup I added some White Spower Service Cetane Booster , got back from working to - day (an other post later) and SWMBO says whatever I did , the car runs noticably better and accelerates faster .

221 miles , 23.8 MPG , a slight improvement but still not up to snuff IMO .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Power Service Bio Kleen - recomedation

 

StarTron® by StarBrite* is now being sold at the AutoZones around here for about $5 a treatment.  'Don't know if it's sold at the AutoZones in California.  It may cause cancer there and so be a regulated substance....

Picked up some bad veggie oil, smelly and bubbling gasses in 5 gallon buckets. Obviously, it was had water in it, which had settled and there was some growth in the bottom of the buckets creating the gasses.

1 teaspoon of Bio Kleen per bucket, a good shake, and 4 days covered to settle before checking again. No bubbles floating up through the veggie, and the veggie was much clearer.

Now I am siphoning off the veggie from the top, after another week of settling, to filter with an extra pass. Typically I do 2 passes, for this I built a third filter with a larger medium volume to prevent clogging so quickly, before going through my regular system.

I will use this quickly, right to the car and not in the storage drum, as the Bio Kleen did not help to much with the smell.

If I ever get diesel fungus, I would not hesitate to use this in my tank. If it comes to this, I will however carry extra filter just in case even though the web site states does not clog filters, don't they all.

I am now thinking I should have got a bottle of Startron to compare the two.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : antique, I don't think so

 

$2500 if you take it to someone, and you get ripped off, terribly.

$250 if you repair it yourself, including new compressor and replacing/rebuilding the servo unit.

Looks REALLY nice, especially for the price.  The ad is over six-weeks old, though, so may very well not be on the market any longer.  It would be interesting to know if the HVAC works at all.  But, there's no e-mail address to reply to, and I don't want to waste my minutes calling on a car two states away that I really don't need and is probably already sold....

Another worthless poop brown W-116 , nice car but , I can _GAURANTEE_ it needs $2,500 forth of HVAC works before you won't cook in it even with all four windows down . (freeze in winter too)

OTOH , if it runs well , passes the oil cap and leak test , it' prolly a damn good car .

[diesel_mercedes] Power Service Bio Kleen - recomedation

 

Picked up some bad veggie oil, smelly and bubbling gasses in 5 gallon buckets. Obviously, it was had water in it, which had settled and there was some growth in the bottom of the buckets creating the gasses.

1 teaspoon of Bio Kleen per bucket, a good shake, and 4 days covered to settle before checking again. No bubbles floating up through the veggie, and the veggie was much clearer.

Now I am siphoning off the veggie from the top, after another week of settling, to filter with an extra pass. Typically I do 2 passes, for this I built a third filter with a larger medium volume to prevent clogging so quickly, before going through my regular system.

I will use this quickly, right to the car and not in the storage drum, as the Bio Kleen did not help to much with the smell.

If I ever get diesel fungus, I would not hesitate to use this in my tank. If it comes to this, I will however carry extra filter just in case even though the web site states does not clog filters, don't they all.

I am now thinking I should have got a bottle of Startron to compare the two.
