Interesting. What kind of circumference would such a pump have?
I'm guessing that submersible pumps are 3 or 4; probably 4.
Is it
inserted through the pipe or is a larger diameter hole dug with pump and
pipes dropped through that?
Ethiopian Airlines is always my first choice when it comes to airline travel!
BuhBye!

Your 300D looks very nice. If I were in the market, I would not
hesitate at the price you set. The only downside I see is that it is
a NA, but to some people, that is a positive. I happen to like turbos.
Good luck

I'll be in Fredericksburg VA before, during and after Turkey

I know that should alert all of the paranoid security types, but

In order for that to happen, the screen just inside the oil intake
would have to fall out.
Unlikely.

Kansas. We get very little snow. Most of the city and counties are so
ill equipped to deal with the snow that usually by the time, they try to
get salt trucks out on the road,
Does anyone have a 240D or 300D 123 or 300D 124 for sale? A neighbor
is interested. I showed them Joe's 300D, but they thought that was
too far away. I think not. Just sit on the train for 3 days and go
get it. Anyhow, if anyone has a Diesel for sale in the south or
midwest, they are

Do you have MS auto-update turned on? If so, it's possibly trying to

The 107 is definitely more sporty than a 123! I've never driven a

problems. They get so little snow, that I don't know how it happened.
There are rusty cars here - we're half way to Wichita, KS. When I was

beginning just N. of Wichita.
