    Follow Up On RV What Happens When...

    Before you give up on the microwave, try this simple test. Verify that the 120 Volt receptacle its plugged into actually has power. Plug the microwave in. WAIT at least 5 minutes. See if the display now comes back to life. My hunting buddy's camper suffered a short in the main distribution box...

    Grand daughters car battery

    200ma is 2 tenths of an amp, not 1 tenth, and a car with this draw and a typical 125RC starting battery, parked when fully charged, will be down to 10.5 volts in about 10 days. At that point it is considered fully discharged and may not start the car. Automakers strive for the standby current...

    99 dodge diesel

    Diesels, turbo or not, generally don"t have a throttle and hence can"t have meaningful vacuum. Yes, in a normally aspirated diesel the piston creates a very slight vacuum against the resistance of the manifold and air cleaner as it draws in air on the intake stroke. But this is way less than 1...

    Another water heater question.

    With an electric furnace and electric range and 200 amp service you should forget about electrically powered on-demand water heaters. It is completely realistic for the furnace, water heat, and range to all be on at once. You are already perilously close to the limits of your service with just...

    Not even close to correct electrical

    This is not quite accurate. The US federal government is not empowered to enforce a national building code. Enacting and enforcing building codes is reserved to states and municipalities (see the 10th amendment to the Constitution). At the national/international level we have a private agency...

    air line

    Follow Noah's link above. In the middle of the referenced page is a set of tabs. Click on the one that say "Info and Guides". Then click on the tab that says "Product Information: How To Guide". Scroll to page 6. You will find the following warning: "Testing with or use of compressed air or gas...

    spill absorbent

    Auto parts stores sell various kinds of diatomaceous-earth based oil absorbents for $5 to $9 a 25 lb bag. I"ve found these to work far better than clay-based kitty litter for cleaning up oil spills. One trick that helps get rid of residual stains is to first dry and sweep up the worst of it...

    WAY OT: Bats

    You cannot contract rabies through contact with feces. Period. It is possible (though very rare) to contract rabies through non-bite contact with open wounds, or mucous membranes such as the mouth or eyes. The contact must be to saliva or brain/nerve tissue, not fur, feces, urine, tears, etc...

    WAY OT: Bats

    It"s a big brown bat. They are the one species of bat adapted to hibernate in freezing temperatures, and the only one typically found in buildings in northern latitudes in winter. I have hundreds of them hibernating right now in the rafters of my big old gambrel barn. Best thing to do is put...

    ATV battery...how long to charge?

    For best battery life you are supposed to do the initial charge at an amperage that does not exceed 1/10th of the battery capacity in amp-hours. So for a smallish ATV battery of 5 amp hours the charge rate should not exceed 0.5 amps, hence the chart they gave you. Ideally it should take 10...

    Wiring a diesel barrel pump

    Is that a B-vent for some sort of heating appliance coming out of the wall? It seems much too close to the tank and your future fueling area. I know it"s a Diesel tank and Diesel is not as volatile as gasoline, but I really think the tank should be farther from your building, especially in...

    poured a floor in my tractor shed

    The SI unit for concrete strength is newtons per square millimeter. 30 newtons per square mm = 4350 psi

    Lectrical question

    Something is not right with the service drop to Mr. Reslls house. (Most likely a bad neutral connection). Connection to a water pipe should not affect how bright the lights are. Return current from unbalanced loads should be passing through the neutral wire back to the transformer center tap. It...

    New Gasoline

    The active ingredient in STABIL is BHT (butlylated hydroxytoluene). BHT is an antioxidant and the same stuff that is used as food preservative in cookies, snack cakes, and the like. The antioxidant properties help retard the spontaneous reaction of gasoline with the oxygen in the air during...
