[diesel_mercedes] Sunday 3/29

 

Whew ;

I have been working my butt off getting my old truck's engine ready to be re installed .

It turned out pretty nice all in all .

To - day I tried to rest but around mid day SWMBO wanted me to take her '82 240D to the gas station , fill it up , buy more Diesel Kleen (she can't remember this and so uses my nickname " Go-Go Juice " , this will be the first bottle of Silver For Summer , I added a few ounces of the White For Winter bottle to the tank and bought a couple quarts of engine oil to carry in the trunk .

I couldn't find any oil marked ' for Diesel engines ' and I spent some time looking .

I added some coolant and so on , took her to lunch , it was 87° F out so I dialed up " refrigerator " on the R-12 charged AC , fan on low and she complained it was too cold .

Off to do a brake job on my old Metropolitan Nash Fixed Head Coupe to - morrow , replace the howling driver's side front wheel bearings too if I can find  some good  ones in my parts stash .

-Nate
