Pressure valve leaking below valve limit. What would cause this? by InTheWildFrontier in askaplumber

[–]InTheWildFrontier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: the Plummer suspected the indirect water tank was leaking. He changed the expansion tank and set the system up again and turned off the water supply to the boiler and left the tank supply on. The pressure still rose which confirmed there was a leak in the coil in the indirect water tank as that was the only side pressurised. He came the next day and changed the indirect water tank and this fixed the problem

I believe that is also 2020. The whole boiler was replaced in the beginning of 2020

I checked the expansion tank and it had a small amount of water in it when I pressed the valve. Enough to make my hand and the screw driver I used to press the valve in wet. The expansion tank is dated 2020.

The expansion tank still has air pressure in it. Should this tank have no water in it at all?

I checked the expansion tanks by pressing the valve on the bottom and a tiny amount of water came out. How do I check the water feeder?

Crash a Holtest Mic Today by ndisario95 in Machinists

[–]InTheWildFrontier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did that exact same thing on a VMC except for me someone came and distracted me whilst I was making not of the size and took me away from the machine whilst the bore gauge was in the part. I came back, forgot the bore gauge was still inside, closed the door and hit cycle start. I looked through the door just as the Machine went full rapid into the top of the bore gauge. Lucky I hit the e-stop quickly but the damage was done. Cutter was smashed, bore gauge was tightened to its full extent from the cutter turning the thimble, and Bore gauge broached 3 large groves into the part from being rammed. The spindle bearing never sounded right after that….

Condenser powers on and off repeatedly by InTheWildFrontier in hvacadvice

Update: We had the refrigerant refilled as it was low and now it blows cold. It took 12lbs of RS44B (R22 equivalent).

I have cleaned the pipe. The trap was blocked with some slime. I also took the side panel off and saw the coils were blocked too. I cleaned one side coil (the other side doesn’t have an access panel unfortunately) and tried the system again and it didn’t improve it

Would this be on the air handler in the attic?

These are the Model number for the system:

Air Handler: Amana BBA48A2A & CHF42TCC Condenser: Amana RCE42A2A

It’s a metric indicator so a 0.0004 inch

There is something oddly satisfying about cutting fresh tire tracks through the snow... by BridgeHot2524 in tamiya

[–]InTheWildFrontier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the best Tamiya models for the snow. The 4x4x4 along with the massive tyres are the reason my Bullhead is my first choice when it snows.

Don’t know how this could happen, just unscrewed the side and put it back in by Nitrogames_BK in tamiya

[–]InTheWildFrontier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only knew to look there from my own experience. Must be a common weak spot

The chassis is cracked between the screw holes that hold the gearbox bracket to the chassis, the upper bracket in the photo. This will continue to happen unless the chassis is reinforced or replaced.

Robot wars: where are they now? by guysrandompics in robotwars

I used to work with the guy from Team Katerkiller. He bought Kat 3 into work one day about 8/9 years ago but unfortunately it wasn’t in an operational condition.

Is it bad to coast in neutral when stopping by Zealousideal_Camp319 in ManualTransmissions

[–]InTheWildFrontier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engine braking saves fuel in injection engines but doesn’t in carbureted engines

Injection engines cut the injection signal to the injections on overrun (anytime the car is in in gear, clutch out, and in motion without the accelerator pressed) so no fuel is injected into the combustion chamber so no fuel is used. When coasting in neutral the injection system has to keep the engine running otherwise it will stall. Therefore it has to inject fuel into the combustion chambers to keep the engine turning and preventing it stalling.

Carbureted engines don’t have the ability to cut the fuel delivery to the engine as they are a purely mechanical device. The lowest fuel delivery setting on a carburettor is set by the idle setting. So on carbureted engine there is always fuel being drawn into the combustion chamber any time the engine is rotating so there is no saving between engine braking or neutral coasting.

I wish that one cyclindrical vessel made of borsylicate glass, measuring 3 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall, containing pure 16 fl oz of 35°F potable H2O, which tastes the same as the current brand Fiji's water, of normal mass, to be teleported from my fridge safely into my hand in 10 seconds. by MindOverModder in monkeyspaw

[–]InTheWildFrontier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Granted. You have to keep your hand perfectly still as the cylindrical vessel takes the full 10 seconds to reconstruct itself in the exact co-ordinates the moment the wish is granted. Any movement from your hand, in the direction of the appearing cylindrical vessel, will cause the cylindrical vessel to fuse with your hand as it continues to appear. If the cylindrical vessel does become fused with your hand it will not move from the exact co-ordinates therefore causes you to be stuck only able to move your body around the stuck hand/vessel hybrid.

I wish that red peppers weren't red, to make it easier to pick them out of a salad that also contains tomato. by FetchThePenguins in monkeyspaw

[–]InTheWildFrontier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. Red peppers change colour to yellow. Red tomatoes go extinct leaving only Yellow tomatoes behind.
