[MBZ] First CL500 mpg check

Filled up today after the first fill up the other day, 19mpg. This is pretty good. I figured it would be a lot worse. Mostly driving in town and rural roads. Probably be a bit better on the highway --FT Sent from iFōn ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search

Won’t start his 4 ton AC unit. Inrush would kill it. A soft start cap might help, but it would be borderline. -D > On Jul 28, 2022, at 4:41 PM, Jim Cathey wrote: > >  >> >> Yes, it’s worth messing with but would likely not be adequate to run your >> whole house. > > 17.5kW would run us.

You heeded bad advice. This expert suggested you go to see it. Might be a life altering decision. On Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 1:23 PM Dwight Giles via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > too bad but prolly wise. first MB I ever drove. not a 1978 though. > > On Thu, Jul 28, 2022, 1:19 PM

Eh. Maybe not. 5 tons of AC is 17.52 kw. You need a smaller house. Or an enormous gen set. Rick From: mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: July 28, 2022 4:24 PM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Reply-to: mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: rickkno...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Genny worth messing with? Put it on a

Re: [MBZ] 280SEL 4.5 Re: 1978 Mercedes-Benz classic,$1,500

Try to have a good look at the floors and the underside of the car. It appears to have a couple of flat tires and that probably means it has been sitting there for a while.  Dampness under the car can ruin it in short order. A friend went to look at a nice looking older MB that had been

J series water cooled unit, 17.5 RDJC. Sort of the 240D of the Onan product line at the time, with the air cooled diesel (DJC) being the pinnacle and the water cooled variant (RDJC) being close behind. Yes, it’s worth messing with but would likely not be adequate to run your whole house. -D
