Re: [diesel_mercedes] Block Heaters

 

I have an 85 SD that appears to have been in Delaware since new.  It didn't have a block heater, but someone has installed a heating element in the lower Radiator hose.  It works, but its lower Delaware, so we haven't needed it.

I've only seen _one_ here that was undamaged and the engine it was one appeared to have been dipped in used fry oil, I was clean and tidy at the moment so I didn't grab it

If I can find the correct U.S. cord part # I guess I'll order three while I still can  .

Hey Brian, you got that block heater installed yet? I'm guessing by spring you will wish you did. A couple of hours plugged in car starts like summer. Max

If you learn the card part @ let us know. Mine is pretty frayed. I don't think mine was ever used. It was a southern US car. It sure will be this winter. Welcome to Wisconsin, where four seasons in two days is normal.

[diesel_mercedes] New Ca. Fuel Taxes

 

Apparently it depends on the honesty of your local fuel retailer ~

I've been watching and most jumped up by at least .20 cents, some more .

I remember my first old beat up VW in the Fall of 1970 in Pasadena, local indie gas place was .32 cents / gallon meaning i could fill up the tank (10 gallons max) _and_ eat dinner @ Bob's Big Boy and then drive all night long for a $5 bill .

Good times .

Diesel at that time was .25 cents / gallon IIRC, I didn't care .

It stayed at .50 cents the gallon long after gasoline went past 1.00 / gallon


A while back Diesel fuel hit $5 / gallon and this crashed my paper thing budget even though I didn't really reduce the miles I drove .

Parts are beginning to arrive for my '82 240D , UPS ignored my instructions and left the AC condensor on my porch ! .

So how much is diesel/gas? I was in Sacramento a few weeks ago and the prices did not seem to be higher. I was down there when I saw on the news a announcement about the price hike. It seemed diesel got hit really hard. When I started driving diesel it was 1/2 half of gas which was .80 cents then(about 1976. Driving Mercedes back then was pretty cool, now we get nailed and also chewed out for being so "dirty" max

Last week I paid a high of $3.50 in California, and it is $3.00 in western Washington, which could just be California's state gas tax differential. Course, the truckers use 90% of the diesel and get some pricing breaks along the way which we don't.
