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.....

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

Oh crap Max ;

I'm sorry to hear this .

I hope you can at least walk O.K. .

I was hoping to hear of some <magic> fix to staunch the slow R-12 leak , guess I'll just have Victor evacuate and re charge it again .

It's really nice in there when it's working , I know the white paint helps ! .

Death Valley @ 60° F is sweet , lemme tell you .

To - day wasn't as hot as yesterday but I took the drive shaft out of my Mighty Metropolitan Nash Sports Coupe (Road Rally coming  up soon) so I drove my Mercedes Coupe and it's AC is chill .

OOPS ! I wonder if it'll now decide to go kaput to - morrow .

These cars suck for AC. I've done everything to mine including new compressor. The most I ever got was two summers, but most times I just add and it works fine for the summer. 23 days to go for me till my 10'th hip surgery which is gonna be the worst, just saw my orthpod today. 3 summers in a row, damn. O well, wont be able to drive all summer, again. Ha, Ha, Max

I shouldn't have bragged about the ice cold R-12 AC in my '82 240D ! .

To - day was a scorcher , it was 96° F @ 3:00 PM and the AC barely blew 80°........

This will be the second or third time I've had to evacuate and re  charge it , I am not proficient enough to find the leak and my AC guy won't , he says 4 ~ 5 years before it fails is fine , just go buy more R-12 .

Dammit .
