Re: [MBZ] OT: Old Onan generator
If it runs on gas, it can run on propane ... 2 older Onan gensets that I have are dual fuel carbs that can be switched. Make the conversion and hook it to your propane tank. Fuel storage issues for gas go away.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Old Onan generator
If it runs and makes electricity, yes. It’s a 10kW Onan powered by the predecessor of the CCK engine (built by Onan) that would be the generator equivalent of a 240D. Understand that it’s gasoline powered, meaning maintenance and regular exercising is of the utmost importance, or it quickly becomes a boat anchor.

IIRC the lighter sockets of the W114/W115, like old American iron, are fairly deep when compared to the newer cars like R107+. The lighter socket hardware, like seat belts, are 100% American in origin, but have been drifting. The _power_ sockets, though, I believe retain the original depth.

No but distances are short and public transportation is not disgusting like it is here and quality of life is many orders of magnitude better. And people don’t hate you because you have different political ideologies. And food is many orders of magnitude better. And friendships are long lasting and real.…… Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 15, 2022, at 12:20 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > > Is Greece known for its low fuel prices? > >> On Wed, Jun 15, 2022 at 12:17 PM Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes >> wrote: >> Tell me about it.

Presumably the same technology as they use on the 787. No fumbling with the window shade, just poke a button. I've flown on it a few times. The weird thing is that it never goes totally opaque so it just looks like it's night time outside which can mess with your head on a western traveling flight where you're chasing the sun. -Curt On Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at 08:11:25 AM EDT, MG via Mercedes wrote: I have seen this in a Yutube.
