You can't put 44lb of propane/butane in a 44lb R12 system. More like 15lb, but that's about what some of the less honest folks fill a BBQ cylinder to these days. You can still make a pretty good fuel/air bomb out of 44lb of R12 when mixed with aerosol'd mineral oil. Found something I hadn't heard of before on Amazon yesterday, not ES but sounds like the same thing, except they claim it works with synthetic oil. If it was ES that told Manfred to fill an AC system with air, those idiots need to go out of business so they can quit telling people idiotic stuff (I'm hoping it was a reseller and not the people you get when you call the phone number on the can) Red-Tek on Amazon is more than twice what I paid for a can of R410a earlier this year, but affordable compared to R12. http://www.amazon.com/RED-TEK-Refrigerant-Cylinder-Equiv/dp/B00DJDYQFA You'd probably move more BTUs with 30-35lb of R406a than with 15lb of hydrocarbons. Looks like Autofrost is no more, the only R406a I found in 25lb cans was on alibaba, only $40k for 1140 30lb cans. If the stuff is still legal for sale, one could get rich moving a container of those for $150 each. Yikes, further searching tells me the Chinese are selling R410a as a R12 substitute and sometimes calling it R406a!!! R410a pressures are through the roof, you can't even replace R22 with it. If I needed 30 lb of R406a, I might be tempted to blend my own if the constituent parts are all readily available.

just put it into the system after you let it fill to atmospheric pressure with air. No way. El stupido, just like leaving it with N2 in it. Feed into a vacuum, accept no substitutes! He also told me that it doesn't form acids if there is a bit of humidity in there with the air. Probably, yes. There is no chlorine/fluorine to peel off. But a used system may have residue in it that could go acidic in the presence of moisture. Keep the drier! You could also leave the 134 in and just add the Enviro-safe to bring it up to the needed output since Enviro-safe mixes with 134 or 12 without any problems. Yes, I believe you can 'top-off' with HC refrigerants, if you wish. Don't try to add enough to get rid of the bubbles.

Re: [MBZ] We are ***!!
I decided not to share the pain of trying to get rid of SWMBA's korean car. It has nothing to do with mercedes, other than she sold the E300 and got this, and I want to put the R107 in the garage instead of the korean car. Two months this thing has been taking up space. Constantly renewing CL posting. Lowering asking price in an attempt to spark interest. Rejecting offensively low offers and know it alls who try to tell me how to sell it better. Getting very low trade in offers for the thing that are below what was offered when she was purchasing a replacement. I knew this was a turd on wheels when she got it. SO, this weekend, I get a guy who makes a low ball email offer without seeing the car. He is looking at same model two or more years older and almost twice the miles, making same price bid as the older cars. Then another guy, never considered a korean car shows interest and makes appointment to see it yesterday, but flakes. Lowball larry and Flaky fred reschedule to see the car today. Low ball is here first, does test drive, reviews file with all paper since new. Makes a higher low ball offer which I counter with SWMBA's lowest allowed price. He walks. I go grocery shopping, having not heard from Fred after telling him Larry did not purchase. Flaky Fred calls me while I am mid grocery trip and says he is at my front door. Dang! While I drive over, Larry texts that he will up the offer a few hundred. I text that I am meeting another interested party, and take Fred for a test drive. Fred is kicking tires and might call back after I tell him Larry has made another offer. And, I return to shopping trip so I can make dinner. While driving home, Larry calls and says he is really interested and wants to review the file in the morning so he can chat up the dealership about extended warrantee SWMBA got that covers the car out to 2020 instead of the short time standard off the lot. He also wants all manner of paperwork, since SWMBA is no longer living in the state. I play along, and juggle the cats so this deal will maybe go through. I had reposted the car this morning, since the listing expired, and with felines in the air, hissing and spitting, another guy responds to the listing.

Re: [MBZ] We are ***!!
'Reminds me: In summer of '79, after my assignment as a civil engineer in Greenland, I back to flying B--52's here at Seymour Johnson AFB, NC, and SWMBO had been trying for several months to sell the house (so small we called it The Cabin in quaint village of Wrightwood in San Gabriel Mtns. of Southern CA. It was getting near time for school to start for younger son who was then a rising high school junior. I called SWMBO and told her to list the house with an agent and come on here. She called me back about 2 hours later and reported that since a few minutes after my call, three buyers had been fighting over which was going to buy it - What should I do? My answer, Sell it to the highest bidder to present a written offer with a deposit. She did, for more than we had been asking.

The first car my Dad owned after leaving General Motors in 1969 was a 1969 Dodge Monaco. He drove the heck out of that car but babied it as far as maintenance. He ended up selling it in 1973 or 4 with over 250k. That was pretty much unheard of at the time from what I recall. I don't know what engine it had, other than it being a V8, but I do recall the most significant work he had done on it was a valve job. Beautiful car, blue with white accents and several hundred pounds of chrome. As a kid I was intrigued by the rollers it had on the radio instead of knobs.

The interior smells of rubber or something when the heat is on. Anyone have a solution to that sort of thing in a 76 Mercedes? I am assuming it is either the material in the ducting or else some sort of rubber seal or padding in the heating system somewhere. Years back I took apart the heater box in my 68 Chevy pickup and cleaned it out. There was a rubber pad of some sort that cushioned the heater core and maybe sealed the edge ( I don't really recall ) but was essentially deteriorated to where it was uselss. I removed it and used a bit of carpet underlay in its place. It turned out to be a bad idea as the truck always smelled of rubber whenever the heat was on and it had not done so previous to my installing the carpet underlay. I am guessing this is something similar but likely just the deterioration of some original part as I assume the car would not have smelled like that when new.

Re: [MBZ] OBD2 scan tool
I found a couple of ways to do this, and there are probably more: First you need a dongle, either Bluetooth or WiFi. This is usually determined by the device you're going to run the software on. I use an iPad, so I went WiFi. These can be found in all sorts of configurations on places like Amazon. My WiFi dongle was about $USD 25. Once you decide on a device, ideally a tablet or smartphone, the operating system will determine what apps are available. A very popular and robust one that runs on Android systems is called Torque. It works off Bluetooth. I run an iOS app called Dash Commander that uses WiFi on my iPad. The app I use provides all sorts of real time data as well as OBDII-II codes. You can program multiple vehicles in it as well, so when you move the dongle around the data gets saved for that vehicle. The only thing I have found as a negative is that the app is a major power hog. I was using it on my phone one day and the phone shut down due to overheating.

This is usually determined by the device you're going to run the software on. I use an iPad, so I went WiFi. These can be found in all sorts of configurations on places like Amazon. My WiFi dongle was about $USD 25. Once you decide on a device, ideally a tablet or smartphone, the operating system will determine what apps are available. A very popular and robust one that runs on Android systems is called Torque. It works off Bluetooth. I run an iOS app called Dash Commander that uses WiFi on my iPad. The app I use provides all sorts of real time data as well as OBDII-II codes. You can program multiple vehicles in it as well, so when you move the dongle around the data gets saved for that vehicle. The only thing I have found as a negative is that the app is a major power hog. I was using it on my phone one day and the phone shut down due to overheating.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Transferring long videos from my Android cellphone to computer
On some phones you get an option when you hook up USB of charge only vs. connect as external drive. Once you can see the storage of the phone you can transfer files. OR you can do a file transfer via Bluetooth.

Re: [MBZ] 1982 300td travel
we had campers (Volkswagen and Chevy) back in the '70s that we put a couple hundred thousand miles on; i think it's got a lot to do with how people used and maintained their equipment, but my dad grew up playing with powerboats, and being an Engineer, kept things in good trim. now, our W123 300Dt with about 255K miles on it is the low-mileage car in the stable, and the car we use for thousand-mile-weekends. it does it in comfort at speed with relative ease. the J**p is what we use for Sport, Utility, and to get 'Out There', and it's got more mileage on it than the 300D. it went over 200K before it needed anything major (transmission), and i finally rebuilt the motor at about 250K because i can't replace it with anything comparable on the market today. the wife's early '90s Toyoduh is the one that gets burned up on the commute at over 340K miles. paint looks awful, but the AC, auto trans and stereo still work. much as i want to hate it (because i physically don't fit in it), it still passes smog and gets 30 MPG on Regular, so i can't justify replacing it. cheers! e On 07/Oct/14 12:03, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: In the 70's, 100,000 miles was big deal, but my dad sold a good running 1977 Nova with 144,000 miles and nothing but brake, exhaust and suspension work done on it.

Re: [MBZ] canola/rapeseed (was: Re: One for the greasers without heart conditions)
From my foggy old memory banks, the canucks had this great stuff to compete with soy oil. Rape was not going to fly and the marketing boys decided that Canadian Oil, would be more to the liking of moms. Along the lines of marketing safflower oil, being labeled Saffola. Rape-ola was not a big seller. clay On Oct 7, 2014, at 4:31 PM, ernest breakfield via Mercedes wrote: not exactly; in places politically correct and otherwise, Canola is an engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant. reference from people that might know: http://www.uscanola.com/what-is-canola/ cheers! e On 07/Oct/14 11:44, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: Interesting that the cans are labelled rapeseed oil.
