  1. Heater Problems

    Need lots more info to troubleshoot something like that. 12 volt or 120 burner runs but no fire or doesn't run at all brand and model of machine quit in the middle of a job or never did fire
  2. The good "old" days

    No snow in MB??? Bummer for you..lol. Hey, Jeff, did you get into the CETA show? I looked for you. Saw SR yakking with the Pressure Pro guys.
  3. Smoke Signals

    Yeah...don't hang your head in the hole...unless Yul Brynner is a good look for you. Don't fire it for long, either. It will scorch the paint or blue the stainless on the wrap...or do you have the wrap off, too?
  4. Opinion on Delco's RK43

    Your repair person is a smart man (or woman).
  5. Smoke Signals

    Yours is a vertical coil? Sorry..assumed it was horizontal. The front and back discs would be at the burner head and the end at the stack. Fuel squirting out can also be due to inadequate fuel pressure. If you can run the burner before you put the coil in, check the shape of your flame and notice if there are any "spatters" around the flame front. Large droplets won't light like the mist, and will usually hit the coil before they burn completely. Give me a call if you have any questions, I'll try to help.
  6. Oxalic Acid

    Hi, all. I have tried to help as many as possible on here with equipment questions. Now it's my turn for a little assistance. I have begun selling Oxalic Acid and am packaging it in 5 lb. tubs. I'm trying to create a label for the product. I need useage instructions. How much powder per gallon? Dwell time? Precautions? I have the hazards from the MSDS, but I need practical, in the field experiences to make sure it's used properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will also be selling 55 lb bags, which, when I'm up to speed on this, I will post in the correct forum. Thanks.
  7. Smoke Signals

    Joel, what it sounds like to me is the burner was mis-firing, some one fixed it, and now the residual fuel has to evaporate away. The only way to cure it is to pull and wash the coil, and replace all the insulation including the front and back discs. You say "continuous smoke" above...white or black?
  8. Oxalic Acid

    How about this, Michael... I call it simply "OX", sell a 40 lb. bucket for $50.00, and you get your own scoop.
  9. Tapping into truck diesel tank

    Diesel engine and burner, or just the burner? If just the burner, find the line coming out of the tank for the truck engine and tee it off. Run the line to the inlet of your fuel pump. You will have to make your fuel pump a single line system and eliminate the return. Remove the hose barb on the return port. There is a set screw inside the port you need to remove, too. Use a 1/4" pipe plug and cap the return port. The only problem this will cause is the pump will not self bleed. You'll have to crack the bleeder screw to purge the pump of air.
  10. gpm or pressure????

    Heck, Mel, they should have hired you to help pump out New Orleans. You go through some water.
  11. Surface Cleaner Question

    Whirl A Ways have pretty heavy duty casters on them As long as you're not beating the snot out of it, they'll hold up fine.
  12. Skid Cover

    Michael, Hydro Tek makes a cover for the SC series with the drawstring...fits like a glove. Call me.
  13. water blasting equipment

    I probably could...but I ain't touchin' it.
  14. Hurricane cleanup advice wanted!!!!!

    I believe the CCR is more for dealing with the military.
  15. Hurricane cleanup advice wanted!!!!!

    A DUNS number is important to many large corporations and the government. It tells them your business track record, and basically makes you worthy to be hired by them. I have had one for years, but never needed it until Fort Knox called looking to buy a good sized skid unit. Had that number, had to get a CCR number, etc. but they pay well.
  16. How Would You Handle This?

    Give him the phone number to the nearest rental yard.
  17. Removing glue residue on box truck??

    D'limonene based cleaners work great. Saturate it well, let it sit, wash with hot water. I helped a guy de-glue an old florist van. Piece of cake.
  18. Hurricane 500...a charity event

    I will be racing on line this Sat. evening to do what I can to help... The Pits is going to host a charity event to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina...the Hurricane 500. This will be run on Wrangler & Rioux's new Daytona 1970 v2 using the Aerowar 88 mod. It will be run on Saturday, September 10th, 2005. You can enter a car for $20, or if you can't or won't be able to race, you can sponsor a driver a certain amount per-mile (suggested is 5c per mile). ALL proceeds will be given to the Red Cross. The Pits will donate a Revell 1/24th scale diecast of Dale Earnhardt's 1996 Olympics special paintscheme to the winner, and The Pits will be hosting the race on our TPTCC server. The race settings will be as follows: Race Date: Saturday, September 10th 2005 Practice: 5:00 PM EDT Qual: 6:30 PM EDT Race length: 500 miles Drivers: 40 (7 backup drivers) I am looking for sponsor pledges. At 1 cent per mile, the maximum would be a $5 bill. All you have to do for now is post your pledge. I will get a screenshot after the race with my laps completed, and contact pledgers to collect.

  20. need a pump

    Hi, John. Its 7:30 and I'm sitting here drinking coffee and checking out the boards. When I get up and moving here in a little bit, I'll post some models and prices for you.
  21. Gas prices

    I'm doing the happy dance. Yesterday, the station up the street was $3.09. Went out this morning, and it's $2.89. If anyone ever told me $2.89 for gas was a bargain, I'd have laughed at them.......Not funny now.

    HURRICANE KATRINA DESTROYS NEW ORLEANS DAYS BEFORE "SOUTHERN DECADENCE" 8/31/05 PHILADELPHIA - Just days before "Southern Decadence", an annual homosexual celebration attracting tens of thousands of people to the French Quarters section of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina destroys the city. "Southern Decadence" has a history of filling the French Quarters section of the city with drunken homosexuals engaging in *** acts in the public streets and bars. Last year, a local pastor sent video footage of *** acts being performed in front of police to the mayor, city council, and the media. City officials simply ignored the footage and continued to welcome and praise the weeklong celebration as being an "exciting event". However, Hurricane Katrina has put an end to the annual celebration of sin. On the official "Southern Decadence" website (www.SouthernDecadence.com) , it states that the annual event brought in "125,000 revelers" to New Orleans last year, increasing by thousands each year, and up from "over 50,000 revelers" in 1997. This year?s 34th annual "Southern Decadence" was set for Wednesday, August 31, 2005 through Monday, September 5, 2005, but due to massive flooding and the damage left by the hurricane, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has ordered everyone to evacuate the city. The past three mayors of New Orleans, including Sidney Barthelomew, Marc H. Morial, and C. Ray Nagin, issued official proclamations welcoming visitors to "Southern Decadence". Additionally, New Orleans City Council made other proclamations recognizing the annual homosexual celebration. "Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. From the devastation may a city full of righteousness emerge," he continued. New Orleans is also known for its Mardi Gras parties where thousands of drunken men revel in the streets to exchange plastic jewelry for drunken women to expose their breasts. This annual event sparked the creation of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series. In addition, Louisiana had a total of ten abortion clinics with half of them making their home in New Orleans. At these five abortion clinics in the city, countless numbers of children were murdered at the hands of abortionists. "We must help and pray for those ravaged by this disaster, but let us not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long," Marcavage said. "May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God," Marcavage concluded. "[God] sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:45)
  23. Gas prices

    The Indiana Attorney General was on the tv (while the news was showing a station marked at $5.86) talking about price gouging...he ain't puttin' up with it.
