Re: [MBZ] dial tone
Feh, they're not *that* big. A 500kW standby set is probably the size of a 300D. Get up to 2000kW and you're talking small shed, maybe. Block heaters are required by code on most stationary standby sets, even if they are indoors in a heated area. Because they have to come up to operating speed (1800 rpm) and assume as much as 100% load within 10 seconds, having them close to operating temperature (around 125F for most block heaters) lessens the wear and tear on the engine when it starts up. It also allows them to start faster.

Re: [MBZ] no land line?
Most cell sites (nodes) have battery backup that is good for several hours at full load. Most of the larger carriers, like ATT, Verizon and Sprint either have small propane powered standby sets at their sites or are putting them in. Because of the increased subscriber base for phone service with many cable providers, there is a push for them to have backup power for their systems as well. I worked on a project at Kohler that used a 5kW propane powered set that provided battery charging to a cable system UPS that was part of a distribution cabinet. One of our biggest customers is ATT, who currently has a national program through Generac that is placing standby power at all of their sites. In Indiana alone that is nearly 300 sites, and we maintain all of them Dan --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It can be nonexistent, in fact.

Re: [MBZ] O/T Hitachi Hard Drive
There are two places to try right-clicking under disk manager. The larger block that represents that data portion of the drive and the smaller square just to the left that represents the header info for the drive. Try right-clicking on the header area and see what comes up. You may get an option to Import Foreign Disk, if you do, click it. You can then format or whatever. If not, let us know what you get. You may also need to right click the data area to assign a drive letter. FYI - if you work with partitions larger then 2Tb, you need to convert the disk to a GPT disk (right-click the header) or else you can't get to all of it. Windows does not like to install itself to a GPT volume, so you will need a separate boot volume. Most intelligent disk controllers allow you do that via their firmware. -Dave Walton On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 11:02 PM, Peter T.

Re: [MBZ] dial tone
If they were V12s they were probably in the range of 1000kW to 1500kW. Oil circulation (prelube) systems are just that - they maintain oil pressure in the galleries to prevent wear on startup. Not common, but used on sets with very critical loads 8 or 10 exhausts are probably right - two per unit, one for each bank of cylinders.

Re: [MBZ] June 6, 1944
One of my brother's men on Omaha beach, seventeen-year-old US Navy Seaman Bob Guere, in less than 30 minutes after he had been drafted into the infantry by an Army colonel on the beach, single-handedly destroyed one of those pillboxes by crawling on his belly to directly beneath one of the gun slits and tossing an explosive satchel through it. For his actions, he was awarded the Silver Star. At the end of my interview with him on Sep 11, '01, (yes, the day of the WTC destruction) he reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a photo while saying, Here I am standing in front of that same pillbox on Jun 6 of this year. I had the very distinct honor and pleasure of interviewing several of my brother's men and several of the equally brave Coasties who delivered them to the beach on that fateful day of June 6, 1944, the memory of which should make all Americans, British, Canadians and other allies stand tall with pride. I was also highly honored and deeply humbled to present the Presidential Unit Citation to members of the unit, 6th Naval Beach Battalion, who had not yet received it - 57 years overdue. I was ten years old when those brave men stormed that beach. I'm appalled that it took 57 years and a 67-year-old RETIRED officer of the US Air Force to officially tell them, Thank you.

Re: [MBZ] What would you do if diesel/gas cost $10/g
I think he added a zero, after 100 yards .22LR performance drops RAPIDLY. I forget the drop at 100 yards but its substantial. At 300 yards you'd really be just lobbing bullets toward the target in a huge arc. The CCI subsonics are vastly superior to the Remington or were 10 years ago the last time I played with them a lot. In the early '90s when I was shooting a lot Remington had something like a 10% misfire rate where other brands were 1% or less. When I was shooting smallbore target competitively I was firing around 1000 rounds a week, 10% was totally unacceptable... CCI was selling some .22 rounds that were so cheap they were loose packed but were much more reliable and accurate than more expensive Remington ammo...

Re: [MBZ] dial tone
I used to work on the Telco equipment at Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant. Our main switch, a Dimension 2000 (we called it the Demented 2000) supported 1700 extensions. The system ran on a stack of Edison batteries that were housed maintained in the next bay. The phone system was actually powered by the batteries 24/7. The batteries were kept charged by a huge charger that was backed up by a generator set. This configuration guaranteed 100% uptime since a loss of line power would just stop the batteries from charging. The batteries were huge clear glass cells that were wired in series to make 48 volts. There were two banks of batteries so that one could be taken off line while the other was serviced. Our second modern system was a System 75 that supported an additional 750 phone lines. This system had a more conventional UPS that measured 4' square by 4' tall.

Re: [MBZ] dial tone
Understand that the holiest of holies, dial tone, was a sacred thing to the telcos for many years. I'm not sure where this came from, but working with a lot of independent telcos years ago, I had it explained to me that the worst, absolute worst thing that could ever happen to you as a service provider was to not have a dial tone. The level of reliability was 100%. Period. Nothing less was acceptable. As a result of this thinking, the telcos were set up years ago to run on 48 volts DC, the origin of this being unknown to me personally. However, that's why when you go into a CO (central office) or switch, you'll find a large room, in some in a major exchange the whole floor of a building, filled with nicad wet cells set up in series-parallel on huge racks. Utility power is used to run the inverters to keep the batteries charged, and runs over the top of the system during normal operation, that is, the inverters provide the power while charging or maintaining the charge on the batteries. Should utility power fail, the load simply shifts to the batteries and there is no interruption to the customer, or (G-d forbid) a loss of dial tone. If there are generators on site, they are set up to provide power to the inverters, and will power them up during an outage to keep the batteries from discharging. In a lot of cases they will set up a time delay on the generator start up so that it's not coming on until the outage is sustained for a short time, maybe 10-30 minutes. regularly discharging the batteries is a good thing, and in some cases they'll even have resistive load banks that can be applied to the battery banks on a scheduled basis to load test them. You certainly don't want to find a dead cell when there's a power outage... The telcos I have worked at typically had 18-24 hours of run time on batteries alone, possibly more depending on the load on the system. This gives them lots of time to come up with alternative sources of power in the event of a catastrophic event (sometimes.)

[MBZ] Another reason to stay home...
NEW YORK -- United Airlines said Friday it will start requiring minimum stays for nearly all domestic coach seats beginning in October. It also is raising its cheapest fares by as much as $90 one-way. The second-largest U.S. carrier said the moves are among a number of changes, including flight and job cutbacks, it is making to combat record high fuel prices. The Chicago-based airline has been among the industry's most aggressive in pushing fares and fees higher in recent months, and those efforts have often been matched by other carriers. The industry is scrambling to raise revenue in a fight to forestall what is projected to be a record multibillion loss. Starting Oct. 6, most of United's economy-class fares will require a one- to three-night or weekend-night minimum stay, spokeswoman Robin Urbanski said. The policy does not apply to fliers in other classes. The new rules are bound to be unpopular with business travelers who prefer to catch a flight out early in the morning so they can be back home in time for dinner. They'll push back big time, said Mike Boyd, a Colorado-based aviation consultant. It's one thing to simply raise fares. It's quite another to do it by imposing restrictions that appear to make it harder to conveniently fly. Major carriers scrapped most minimum-stay rules at the start of the decade. ** Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

The telco batteries and diesels I referred to were probably put in service in the twenties since they were in the sub-basement of the then Pacific Tel Tel Main CO which was built about that time. I saw it only a few times since the room was off limits but the engine was about twenty feet long and about eight feet high with a walkway along the side for service. Much like the ship engines of today. The masonry and concrete building was half a block on each side and ten stories high and when the diesel was started for it's weekly test, you could hear it (and feel it, I thought) throughout the structure.

Re: [MBZ] Timing chain replacement
I did something similar - I had the engine completely disassembled at the time for a rebuild put the new chain in the vise where I use hammer punch to peen it over. he I snaked the circular chain into position and continued with the assembly. This was after I had my wife stop by a MB dealer and ask a technician to use the special tool to peen it. He said, no your husband needs to put the connecting link on while it's on the engine and then peen the connector. Moron. My wife conveyed my message precisely - if I'd wanted to do it like that I would have. It's irritating when something so simple gets twisted because he didn't think I knew what I was talking about.

[MBZ] What gives with the idle control valve hose?
This is getting annoying -- while on my trip a couple weeks ago, not only did the rear ffex disk give up the ghost (my fault, should have checked it), but the car re-aquired that annoying sluggish off the line performance and rough idle symptomatic of a vacuum leak. Finally got a chance to poke around today, and damned if that hose from the idle control valve to the manifold is split at the idle control valve nipple. This is the THIRD hose I've put on there is six years, no way they should fail in 12000 miles (or less, it's my mother's car and she puts maybe 5000 miles a year on it). This is the real PITA hose to replace, too. Easy to install the last time, as I was replacing the boot on the throttle body, too, but I'm tired of this. I put a hose clamp on it for the time being, but I think when I put a new one on, I'm going to use the clamp to start with. The hose always splits down the mold seam, defective manufacture?

[MBZ] 240D manny tranny front shaft - clutch installation aid
I have the short, front section of the central shaft from the original manny tranny that was in my '80 240D. It protrudes from the front of the tranny through the clutch and into center of the flywheel. I used an identical piece 23 years ago to quickly and easily align a new clutch while bolting it to the flywheel. You can slip the front of the shaft through the clutch and the short, front nub into the flywheel, bolt the clutch in place, slip the shaft section out toward the rear and slip the tranny right in place very easily. If somebody'll send me a check for $10, I'll send ya this shaft section - you'll literally get the shaft - no kidding. If nobody wants it, I'm throwing it away - 'pity.

Wife came back and said, They don't have any. I said, What, a service station doesn't have motor oil!!?? She said, They said they don't have any . I jumped in the car and rushed to the service station; walked in and asked, Do you guys REALLY not have any motor oil? Service station guy said, She said you're gonna use it in a chain saw.

Re: [MBZ] Another reason to stay home...
The airlines, who have NEVER made money, even with the massive subsidies they get, are bleeding so badly they have to restrict flights to reduce the amount of fuel they use. The idea is to stabilize return trips and reduce the number of one- way trips to maximize the number of passengers on each flight. One less passenger makes a difference as the plane uses about the same fuel for the trip full or 3/4 full.

Re: [MBZ] Timing chain replacement
The only time I had an MB dealer rebuild an engine [dealer in Jacksonville FL, on my 1962 220Sb, in about 1966] the rebuild lasted all of 30 minutes before the oil pressure dropped to 1. I took it back and could hear the mechanics cussing about the guy who had rebuilt it and the poor job he always did, and how they were tired of cleaning up his messes. That pretty much shot any feeling I had of how great dealer work might be.

Re: [MBZ] Another reason to stay home
Well, there is a solution (actually, the same one I've been suggesting for 30 years or more) Stop building roads, of any kind, at once. Spend the highway trust fund money on de-suburbanization -- for an example, take a look at any community near a large city built before 1948 -- a main street with a commercial district and the mass transit line (bus, trolley, etc) down the middle, with housing varying from inexpensive mulitple unit near the main street to high dollar large lot single family at the outside. Require banks to quit financing new construction at better rates than existing homes (if you haven't noticed, the vast majority of subprime loans are for city housing) Stop zoning for parking. Anywhere, any place, any time. Nationalize the railbeds (not the railroads, just the rails themselves -- note that the Railroads currently pay property tax on the roadbed) and build a rational one (sorta like the interstate highway system instead of the hodge-podge we have). Set up a national passenger service that actually moves passengers for transit instead of an excursion service. This requires high speed, concrete set (not wooden crossties in gravel) rail bed. Another use for the highway trust fund money. Start taxing fuel use, increasing it rather steeply until it's $5-6 a gallon. Require zoning law changes so that new construction MUST be contiguous with current mass transit. No more isolated suburbs, no more way out in the country businesses -- we ain't gonna be driving to work any more, we HAVE to be able to use mass transit. A very large and annually repeating severance tax for converting farm land to any other use. I'm hoping that the severity of the fuel crisis will finally persuade people that one should NOT take advice about zoning and community development from people who make money off urban sprawl. Probably not a snowball's chance in the bad place any of this will happen, though, we all worship the free market Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] OT Seating A New Lawn Tractor Tire
Keep cranking that ratchet strap. The more you tighten it, the wider the beads get. I use a locking tire chuck so I can wiggle the tire on the rim while the air is rushing in. Sometimes it helps to remove the valve core so the air flows faster. Are you using the same size tire that the factory intended for that rim? If all else fails, inflating an inner tube inside the tire is a great way to spread the beads. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] Diesel Primer Pump
Hi folks, I have an 84 300DT, it has a long history of air in the fuel line challenges. I have replaced the tank strainer, the filters and the fuel lines. It ran great for about two months.

I notice that this primer pump is one of the newer types. I don't care for it and want to go back to the older type. Can I revert back to the old type by simply changing the pump or do I have to change out the entire primer pump assembly as well?

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Primer Pump
The cigar hose is designed to dampen the fuel pressure surges from the lift pump and smooth the flow of fuel back to the tank. It also keeps the steel line from drumming on the frame and driving you nuts. The whole assembly of the hand pump simply screws on. I suspect you are missing the copper seal, or it didn't seat properly when installed. What's not to like about a pump that works when you need it and doesn't dump fuel oil all over you (and leak, usually instantly) when you unscrew it? Besides, you will have to install a used one, only the improved type (sealed with o-rings instead of a leather piston seal) is available new. Take it off (a crow-foot works best, at least on the W115 chassis, you may have more room) and replace the copper seal before tossing the pump. The thumb pumps rarely leak.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Primer Pump
The new style is a vast improvement. It is a tube within a tube sealed with 0-rings and contains a spring. You just push down on it when you need to prime, no unscrewing, etc. The check valves in the lift pump (which is really just a close fitting rod in a hole with an o-ring seal that moves in and out) work like normal so the fuel pushes through the filter. If your hand pump leaks fuel out, it's leaking air in when seated. Replace it. The fancy pump shown is not an improvement over the thumb pump, which does NOT have a shaft seal as it doesn't screw down. Mine has never leaked, although I've only had ti for 12 years.

The only real drawback is that they really don't have the longevity of a Benz (the interior goes to bits faster, and parts are NOT available) and the body isn't quite as good. I'd not depend on one to save my life like my 300D did, but I don't know that for sure, and will not test it! There is s reason Toyota outsells GM and Ford in the US automotive market.

I think that for the last 10 years, more or less, they have been riding the reputation that they built during the 80s and 90s but that the actual differences in quality and reliability have largely vanished, at least with respect to Ford. I think a Ford of this decade is as good as a Toyota, it's cheaper to buy (especially used), and parts are also cheaper and easier to get. Not so sure about GM, I don't have any experience with any of their vehicles newer than '96.

Re: [MBZ] Another reason to stay home
So the government should step in and solve all our problems? Peter Frederick wrote: Well, there is a solution (actually, the same one I've been suggesting for 30 years or more) Stop building roads, of any kind, at once. Spend the highway trust fund money on de-suburbanization -- for an example, take a look at any community near a large city built before 1948 -- a main street with a commercial district and the mass transit line (bus, trolley, etc) down the middle, with housing varying from inexpensive mulitple unit near the main street to high dollar large lot single family at the outside. Require banks to quit financing new construction at better rates than existing homes (if you haven't noticed, the vast majority of subprime loans are for city housing) Stop zoning for parking. Anywhere, any place, any time. Nationalize the railbeds (not the railroads, just the rails themselves -- note that the Railroads currently pay property tax on the roadbed) and build a rational one (sorta like the interstate highway system instead of the hodge-podge we have). Set up a national passenger service that actually moves passengers for transit instead of an excursion service. This requires high speed, concrete set (not wooden crossties in gravel) rail bed. Another use for the highway trust fund money. Start taxing fuel use, increasing it rather steeply until it's $5-6 a gallon. Require zoning law changes so that new construction MUST be contiguous with current mass transit. No more isolated suburbs, no more way out in the country businesses -- we ain't gonna be driving to work any more, we HAVE to be able to use mass transit. A very large and annually repeating severance tax for converting farm land to any other use. I'm hoping that the severity of the fuel crisis will finally persuade people that one should NOT take advice about zoning and community development from people who make money off urban sprawl. Probably not a snowball's chance in the bad place any of this will happen, though, we all worship the free market Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- Kaleb C.

It is a tube within a tube sealed with 0-rings and contains a spring. You just push down on it when you need to prime, no unscrewing, etc. The check valves in the lift pump (which is really just a close fitting rod in a hole with an o-ring seal that moves in and out) work like normal so the fuel pushes through the filter. If your hand pump leaks fuel out, it's leaking air in when seated. Replace it. The fancy pump shown is not an improvement over the thumb pump, which does NOT have a shaft seal as it doesn't screw down. Mine has never leaked, although I've only had ti for 12 years.

During preparation of the article, The Times's questions to one aircraft manufacturer, Airbus, were imprecise and did not make it clear that the reporter was interested in standing-room seats. As a result, the article said the company would not specifically comment on the upright-seating proposal. The company now says that while it researched that idea in 2003, it has since abandoned it. A correction of the article appeared on this page on Tuesday. It should have acknowledged that if The Times had correctly understood the history of the proposal, the article would have qualified it, and would not have appeared on Page A1.

Re: [MBZ] California
That's what they say, but I'l wait a decade or two to see how they hold up. GM still has problems -- one of my co-workers bought a nice Buick recently, and it's been back to the dealer for warrenty work half a dozen times, including a leaking GPS antenna seal. Better than they used to be, for sure, but then we all know how easy it was to be better at quality than GM in the 80's. My brother in law rented an Impala a couple weeks ago when we were in Livonia for my nieces high school graduation, and it seemed quite nice. Lousy rear seat access for my mother, but that's not unique to GM (I really liked my Volvo 740 in that area), but a big improvement over my 86 Buick Century.
