Re: [MBZ] Gasoline in eyes burns
Simple #2 lead pencil is my friend when working live fuel lines. The taper point slips right in all fuel lines up to 3/8th inch and makes a nice tight plug with minimal loss of fuel while making the plug action. If you have a larger line, use a kids fat pencil same result.. Insert sharpened end of pencil with a slight twisting motion to seat into the rubber ID and it seals, no leaks.. When replacing complete hoses from a live tank, pre-cut the replacement hose, plug one end with the pencil, remove the securing clamp from the tank outlet and work that end of the hose to "almost off". Place the new hose with plug in place in easy reach and remove the old hose while slipping your thumb over the outlet fitting then present the new hose to the fitting as you slide you thumb off. You should be able to capture the inner edge of the new hose and slide it on far enough to stop any loss of fuel and not lose more than a few drops. Naturally, wear surgical gloves and full eye protection.. no smoking .. etc etc.. If you don't have a selection of Hemostats [blood vessel clamps used in surgery] get come.. Clamp the new line mid point, remove the pencil.. install on receiving fuel pipe.. don't forget the hose clamps before you do this.. The pencil plug will let you slide the tank hose clamp over it nicely... Be safe.. vent the area.. no sparks, water heaters, sources of ignition.. gas vapors are extremely volatile.

Re: [MBZ] If it looks like crack it might be crack
Hail damage is a body mans nightmare. Likely, if it had full coverage insurance [unlikely, due to the age of the car, few if any insurers would even write a full converge policy] it would be written off as a "total". Yet... a $6,000 price is being put on it? Forget the car.. spend the $6K on what ever drug the guy is on.. Return on Investment for that would be way better since it apparently causes total disconnect from reality.. To harsh?

Re: [MBZ] GPS?
It's been my experience with rechargeable batteries that as they reach their cycle limits, their ability to take a charge declines, thus the charging circuit tries to "push charge" ... and the battery fails to hold it, so the conflict between the dying battery and the over worked charger presents a "no win" for either one. I would suggest a new battery is an easy fix, before it also "cooks the charge circuit".

Wilton - Original Message - From: "clay via Mercedes" To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Cc: "clay" Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2015 3:16 PM Subject: [MBZ] Gasoline in eyes burns I woke this morning to an overwhelming stench of petrol. Bedroom on the third floor of the home, garage at the bottom. I ran down to see if the neighbors had decided to torch my house. Turns out the rear flex fuel hose had perished and was piddling on the garage floor. This is not a good sign, so I open the door and back the car out into the driveway to get a better look. Roll Froggy up on the ramps and see the line is original and soaked, the fuel drooling along the hard line and piddling on the ground. I can either tackle this myself, or have my indy swap it out in five minutes. I figure it is worth the Jackson to have him tackle it, so I give them a call. No answer, and it is shop hours. Maybe the receptionist is piddling her own self. Fire up Froggy and drive the three miles to the shop. They are gone until mid month. DANG! Looks like I am going to have to do this my own self. FLAP has a vast selection of sizes, and I did not know just how fat a hose I need, so I guesstimate that it is .025" id. Head back home and put her on the ramps again. Pull out the needle nose clamping things and seal off the line so I can undo the hardline side. While unscrewing the hose clamp, the hose fails and dribbles fuel on me. I put another plier clamp on and it stops Until the tank side line fails as well and now it is coming out in earnest. Eating my gloves while I am trying to cap the dang thing off. I had already cut a length of hose and had clamps on it, but I have to get the dead hose off so I can install the new hose. All the while petrol is flowing down my arms and onto the underside bits of the car, such that it gets past my safety glasses and into my eyes. While my eyes are burning, I yank off my gloves and make a wad of them, slap that onto the nipple spewing fuel all over and clamp it with the pliers. Strip off my shirt and jacket and run into the house to the closest sink so I can flush my skin and eyes. After a few minutes of cool water running over eyeball, I can see again, but keep on flushing. I fetch a new shirt and head back under the car. It turns out the .025" id is a bit too tight to go over the hard lines, and the gloves are beginning to dissolve. Fuel is now piddling again and I scamper around looking for another object to plug the flow. I got nothing. I figure I will just stopper it with more fresh glove and clamp it, hoping it holds long enough to get to FLAPS and back with a more proper hose. I grab the dead hose as an example so I do not have to guess. Back from FLAPS, I cut an appropriate length of hose and set clamps on it. The wad of shop glove is holding well and I am able to seat the one end of the new hose to the hard line. Tank side, there is still a 0.5" section of dead hose stuck on the nipple. Much head scratching ensues while I contemplate just how much fuel may spew while I remove said obstruction and then struggle to hook up the new hose. I could try to toss a bucket or such under, but from the spread of fuel all up on the suspension, I would need a kiddie pool size bucket. Decide that a kitty litter barrier downstream will have to suffice. Mix it with garden dirt for a fair dam, and plunge ahead. I lost about a quart of petrol while getting the nipple clear and the new hose on and clamped securely.No fuel in my eyes, but much on the flesh, even with gloves on. No more dribbles from the fuel lines, which is desired result. Use a small yard sprayer with water in it to hose off the petrol from the underside of the car.

Re: [MBZ] Go For It, Kaleb
Great price! I really don't like the looks of a W140 in anything other than silver. They just look like a big fat 124, a little gross to me, especially the trunk. If the trunk/rear end were a little longer I think a W140 might look a lot better.

Re: [MBZ] GPS?
I have an old Garman that was becoming increasingly unable to lock onto the satellites to get a position fix. Google showed this to a rather common problem for that model, and I found a tutorial or a utuber vid that showed how to solder a jumper on the circuit board to fix it. I did that and it worked better for awhile but then started acting up again. I finally just bought a new one and this one works fine but it keeps annoying me about the maps. I think it is not under the free map update program, I haven't tried, I never remember to bring the thing in from the truck to fool with it. I'd say spend the $100 on a new one and be done with it. --R ___ 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

Sometimes military have more car than you'd think they could reasonably afford. My uncle bought a hidden headlight Camaro RS when he was an enlisted clerk, it was the only car he ever bought new (1968). It got stolen about 25 years later. My cousin enlisted in the Marines the summer he got out of high school, used his sign-up bonus for the down payment on a new red Mustang 5.0 LX. Not too many 18 year olds with a Marine recruit's take home pay drove $15k Mustangs in the 1980s. I haven't seen that car in about 15 years, he might have had to sell it when he changed wives.
