Re: [diesel_mercedes] Lada Niva

 

This is exactly what I'm doing, but wondering if I take the filter out if it will wreck the motor. Max

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.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] The smell of diesel in the morning...

 

Don't screw with them. As an emergency measure snip of the end and
reattach. You will need long nosed pliers. They get old and seep. Any
good auto parts store can get them but they are sometimes not on the shelf.

Snip away. I (like others) always buy extra hose from a dealer (or others) and carry it in the trunk for such times. If two went out, why not replace them all and be done with it as they are all probably the same age.

RE: [diesel_mercedes] Vacuuming Ashes out of brake system

 

I have had the master cylinder go out while bleeding the brakes in older (1950’s) cars; once or twice. You could have that done and see how it works out.

The price of a new master cylinder is cheap compared to going into another car.  Bill in Oregon

I had a very strange thing happen yesterday as I was speeding into town in my 240, I came up to the T intersection hit the brakes, mush, sort of slowed down. Barely made the stop. Limped into town, dropped off the car at the Les Schawb for alignment, told them the brakes just went out. When I picked up the car the brakes were back to normal. No fluid loss, they just felt like they needed to be bled. The guys at the shop said your master cylinder is going out? What do you guys think? Max

Yes but ;

Ashes are very fine and tend to rapidly clog the filter......

the filter keeps debris from being ejected out the exhaust port - unless you want to distribute ashes in all directions, you probably don't want to attempt it.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Vacuuming Ashes

 

No, No, of course I wouldnt that. I have a long hose connected and the shopvac sits out side. It sucks good for about 2 or 3 minutes, but cleaning my stove no matter how careful, well, ashes, you know, in the house. I'm just trying to find the cleanest method. Outback is thousands of acres so ash blown out there is no big deal.

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.....

     Max Asked :

Does anyone know if you can take out the filter on a shop-vac and just suck stuff right tru? I want to use it for sucking ashes out of my stove but the filter plugs up real fast. ??????????????????????? Max

3 MM and your local NAPA Partshaus will have the Diesel resistant hose in stock .

I always carry 4' of it .

How's Boston ? I heard you had nasty wet weather this week .

Drat! Drove into Boston this morning and started smelling strong odor of fuel in the cabin. Checked under the hood and the flex hoses to injectors #1 and #4 are soaked. Am praying they're just cracked and a quick snip of the ends will get me home...anyone done this before? and if I do have to replace the hoses, what is the correct diameter to buy (6.5mm or 7mm?) and can I do it without having to re-prime (I'm told my priming pump is next to useless...)

thanks in advance!

Don't remember the size but I've always bought it from the dealer.  You won't have to reprime, those are return lines.
