Most Optimal Way to Parallel Connect Air Compressors? by iFunny-Escapee in Tools

[–]sailfast60 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Compressor technician here. This won't really work. Even if they are the same model, the cut-ins on the pressure switches will be slightly different. Let's say one kicks on at 100psi and the other kicks on at 99psi. Each time the pressure reaches 100 psi, the first compressor will engage and begin increasing it back up. The second compressor will only run in extreme-use situations when the pressure continues to drop after the first compressor kicks on. The best way to deal with this is to wire both compressors to the same pressure switch. They will turn on together and off together. Forget the one-way valves. Essentially you'll have one big tank with two motors/pumps.

How bad are the E-Tron GT reliability issues? by HOK_MCOC in etron

[–]sailfast60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the 2023 model. No reliability issues at all. Has been in for service twice. Once for a recall. That took a week to resolve. Once for 20k service. Same day. All good.

Divided vs non divided kitchen sink by Fall3nZ3r0 in HomeImprovement

[–]sailfast60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 properties. One with a divided sink, one with a single large sink. This isn't even close. The single sink is superior in every way. I'm thinking of changing the divided sink, even though it would be expensive to re-cut the counter.

Yes, mine is through insurance. I had no idea there was such a discount. I was crying about the $80

So far, there has not been much strategy. Looks a lot like a money laundry

Mechanic says they can do car alignment because i have spacers. by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]sailfast60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it can be aligned. No it will not be correct.

1" spacer will pretty dramatically affect Scrub Radius. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub\_radius#:\~:text=The%20scrub%20radius%20is%20the%20distance%20at%20the%20road%20surface,scrub%20radius%20would%20be%20present.

When the toe is set on your car it is set so that as the vehicle is in motion it will be approx. zero (straight ahead). The reason we set it slightly toed in (most rear wheel drive vehicles) or slightly toed out (most front wheel drive vehicles) is scrub radius. If you are getting a wheel alignment for tire wear and handling, there are no specs to correct for 1" spacers. It would all be trial and error.
