Re: [diesel_mercedes] Vacuuming Ashes

 

My solution to this problem is to put a small shop vac ($30 type at Home Depot) outside the house and use a pool hose instead of the short hose that comes with the vacuum. The pool hose  is 30 feet in length; I got it on on Craigsl;ist for a few bucks and then adapted it with cheap plumbing fittings and hose clamps at the vacuum and at the tool end. All the dust is out of the house. If this solution is unacceptable for whatever reason, the pool hose could be used to chanel the vacuum exhaust out of the house; a less desirable solution, imo.


This is not a MB video but interesting transplant; purists, avert your eyes ;-)

Yes you can BUT you'd best connect a secondary vacuum hose to the blow side of the shop vac. or your whole house will turn grey inside.....
