Don't get me to lying but the thing is a database (after some research, it is not so mysterious as I thought, or as it used to be). They said they do not have the ability, that is OK for me.
I trust the people that operate this system, that they tell the truth. The truth, even when it was a...
OK well I hope I am not going off the deep end into non-safety aspects, but I do want to present what little info I have on battery use and care. I notice we have an Interstate Battery dealer in the house. It would be really helpful to have some deep details on caring for flooded lead acid...
Besides flooded lead-acid batteries, which are the more rugged kinds for cranking, there are also "non-spillable" and "valve-regulated" gelled electrolyte and absorbed glass mat lead-acid batteries. These never need 'water' and are not to be opened. Gelled electrolytes are the kinds usually seen...
The attachment shows a typical battery equalizer. This is the kind of equipment that efficiently draws off the stack to keep the midpoint at exactly half voltage. This is what you might power large 12V acessories with. One fault of it is that it always draws a tiny bit of power and can run down...
One of the ones that exploded did so because the terminal was cracked inside the battery case, from too much wiggling and tighteneing. Some batteries are two-man lifts, especially if in an awkward position with no carry handle.
Here's a good image of an exploded battery. not much to look at, but consider the acid spraying out all those holes at once, propelled by brning hydrogen and oxygen.
Here is a little tip on battery safety. Maybe this could become a sticky thread if there is not one on battery safety already. It's an important topic. Having witnessed a battery explosion in someone's face and a fire caused by a short on a cranking battery, It's worthwhile to discuss it and see...
and they don't drive/steer/stop well at all on wet pavement. I have driven mine over the road three times so far, each time 2000-3000 miles, and the first thing I will say is that I had problems each time, even though the truck is well maintained. Fortunately each problem was fixable. The...
hell just run 'em though. Plastic is made from oil and It's a multifuel aint it?:twisted:
Where is you get the cat BTW? I never seen one like that with almost no hair. Must get kind of cold for the poor critter.
there is video on youtube of a school bus popping a wheelie down the 1/4 mile. I think it had some kind of 2400HP piston type aircraft engine.
A good start is to call Turner surplus and see if he still has the Duster engine.
