Using a battery isolation switch, as proposed by dandywarhol is the superior method.
Locate it at the battery positive terminal so when it is off the cable, heavy duty , is isolated. A more expensive alternative to the battery isolation switch may by a suitably sizes circuit breaker, about 50A, with ...

Thats a good link TGP :) These old pumps are capable of producing pressures of over 150 BAR (the average car tyre pressure is 2 BAR!) Modern diesel HDI etc. are producing nearly 2,000 BAR :shock: purely by better tooling creating ultra tight clearance tolerances - thats why they don't like heavy ...

hi there,
after smelling diesel coming from my engine i decided to have a good look for the fault. i have traced it to a couple of failed o rings on the diesel pump. one i could get to and replace but the other is more difficult and havnt yet sorted. i decided to have a look on the net to see if ...

My Resevoir tank is just below "low" on a cold engine.
Can i top up with coolant/antifreeze to the full level rather than a complete change and what is the best coolant to use :?:

There is no obvious leak just evaporation of water i hope.

Sue & John

I personally wouldn't try using a valve in the bleed pipe.....How would you know when the job is done.???.(and coolant would also escape)..nice to see those bubbles in the funnel and know that when they have stopped the job is done......
Sounds as though you have done it now and in future you will ...

Re seals, VO & BD will break down natural rubber seals. you must make sure they are VITON for use with Oil for long livery. Modern seals are made from Viton but you need to be sure.
Same applies to fuel lines natural rubber will break down so need to keep a watch on them. They will weep first, then ...

My Numax 110ah is a deep cycle leisure/starting battery, rather than a dedicated LB, haven't looked into the technical comparisons, but it's good enough for me with a decent gaurantee :D

OK kirsty, so can we make ...

As I posted on a previous topic, read through this link parts 1 & 2.
It has every thing you need to know. It is American so the mains voltage is 110v but that is irrelevant as loads are the same being measured in watts, amps X volts.
Note : you will see you should never run any type of lead acid ...
