I would say that your initial assessment (clogged filters) is pretty much dead on. Filters won't clean themselves, no matter how much clean diesel you have, so might as well start pulling and...

Re: Interior Lighting

Hi Smitty,
As far as efficiency (from and electrical power and consumption standpoint), you really can't get any better than the LED's because of the almost 1:1 ratio of electrons passing through to...

Re: WVO against federal law

I have to agree with the above post. The ETCFC (East TN Clean Fuels Coalition) is located right up the road in Knoxville, and operates under the auspices of University of TN. They push for use of...

Re: Battery tender... 5 watt for $50, or 15 watt for $150

Hi TygerCub,
Sorry if I caused more confusion. The short answer to your question is that the maintainer is probably better for your situation, and the larger one is probably the better buy. Why?...

Great Set of "House Batteries"

NOT MINE!!!

This looks like it would be a great deal for any Skoolie in the Maryland area. It is listed on GovDeals.com, and I have found some good, usable surplus items from them before.

Re: Battery tender... 5 watt for $50, or 15 watt for $150

Tygercub,
You have opened a whole new "can of worms" as they say, about numerous and sundry different subjects. Let me see if I can sort out some specifics.
First: What is the difference between a...

Re: Radiator Cap (on the fill tank, not actually the rad)

For every pound of pressure exerted on the coolant in the system, the static boiling point of the coolant is raised by approximately 3° F.
Most liquids have a specific "boiling point", which is the...

Re: Talk About Getting Attention!

Just an "Oh, by the way" for anyone interested, this bus' final price was $8,000.01 and they didn't even have the keys for it. I called and was told that the tires appeared to be in good shape, no...

I would also be more than happy to contribute. This site has given me tons of data, ideas, and experience I could never have found just on my own. I know you didn't ask, but like all these...

Re: Will a skoolie ruin my marriage?

The quick answer to this question is a resounding YES!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Radiator Cap (on the fill tank, not actually the rad)

Hi Smitty,
It is always the small stuff that starts to get your attention when you really get "into" a vehicle. Well, you are in luck. Radiator caps are pretty much standard throughout the vehicle...

Re: Talk About Getting Attention!

Re: Remember this movie?

I'm not sure, but I think the name of that movie was "Damnation Alley" or something similar. I remember the general theme, but not sure about the name. :?

Re: BP Finds Large Oil Deposit In Gulf Of Mexico

Unfortunately, probably not all that many. Plus, if 4-6 billion barrels of crude will only supply the US needs for less than a year... doesn't that look a little bit like conspicuous consumerism? I...

Re: Electrical Drama--Help!

First, be sure the batteries are actually fully charged. Checking the voltages at the inverter connections with a digital volt-meter, you should read 13.5-13.8 volts. If this checks properly, then...
