Made a video of the de-watering process. I've gotten it down pretty smooth now.
https://youtu.be/gVFAsBNGWnE The stuff in the video was the first drawn off the machine when we realized we had a problem, its horrible, the video is probably 2 hours of actual boiling. Today we drained the machine, the stuff coming out now isn't real bad at all. We went all out and drained 4 of the plow cylinders, the cylinder that puts the wheels on the drag down and its looong hose, the drag is 18 feet long, the machine is probably 14 so thats a long run. We refilled and I boiled the water out of the stuff we took out, only took about half an hour. While we were at it I dunked the filter, which is about the same diameter as a 61x oil filter but about 16" long, into a pot of boiling oil. Standing in the pot the filter became a steaming volcano, apparently its been trapping water. Ben doesn't remember ever changing that filter and he's been running the machine since 2001, obviously we're ordering a new filter... We did 2 swaps today, I *think* we found the issue too, I don't think the cap seal is sealing well. There are 3 tanks and this one the seal doesn't get an obvious mark when its closed like the other 2 do, we'll see if we can get a new seal... -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
