    The Abrasive Blasting Resource Thread

    Recently I bought a pressure cabinet and it came with a tempered glass window. Dummy me dropped the glass and broke it so I replaced it with some 1/4 Lexan. I am putting Mylar lenses on the inside and getting about 1.5 hours of runtime out of each lens. My question is, is glass better than...

    Sims mentioned the same thing in a PM this morning. I will discuss that with the septic guys.

    Septic System

    Well, the septic guys were here today doing exploratory digging and what they found was not good. Basically the header pipe coming out of the tank and all three laterals were wet meaning they are getting water out of the tank. The problem they found was the black muck in the soil surrounding the...

    Septic System

    Wow, allot of varying opinions and suggestions. When I was a young man, I worked as a plumber and I have seen firsthand what happens when a sewage system backs up in a major way. It can funk up a house in ways you can't imagine if you've never been through that. It's a funk you will NEVER...

    Septic System

    With all the problems I've had with my septic system, I am pretty intimate with the inside of my tank. There is no sludge and because of the frequent pumping, sludge has not had a chance to build up since it was installed so sludge has never had a chance to work its way out to the drain field. I...

    Septic System

    Today I met with the guy who lead the install crew when it was put in back in 02. He brought with him the documents submitted to DEQ required by OK building codes. The documents showed the perk test results and install drawings. We went out and walked the system layout per the drawing. He said...

    Septic System

    Nobody has ever driven across my tank or drain field. I don't have any trees or landscaping anywhere near the drain field either. I'm at my wits end with this. The last thing I need is to have my yard dug up. I have a call in to the company who installed the system to discuss troubleshooting and...

    Septic System

    The thing to remember is there are two systems that have to work inside of a septic tank. The bacteria are what make up the eco system that consumes the sludge but its not absolute in that it never completely consumes all of the sludge. The other system is the transport of the water to the...

    Septic System

    This was my first house with a septic system. I did my homework when we moved in. Things like tampons, paper towels, egg shells, and baby wipes are some of the things that should never be put down the drain. The rule I follow is if it doesn't go in my mouth, it doesn't go down the drain. My...

    Septic System

    I know that hed. The water level should be 2" below the inlet pipe as a norm but the water isn't being processed fast enough to maintain that level even with mild water usage. I can tell you that as many times as we have had our tank pumped, there is no sludge in the tank nor was there very much...

    Septic System

    I can't say for sure the wipes are the cause but it the only thing that makes sense. I can't imagine what else would cause the grey water to not leech out to the drain field other than something is clogged somewhere. I live on a sandstone hill so my soil is very loamy so absorption in to the...

    Septic System

    I know this is a Garage site but I'm having a major problem and I thought there may be some resident experts here. I bought my house new in 2002. I had my septic tank pumped for the first time in 2007 and didn't have any sort of problems with it until 2011 when my wife's elderly dad came to...

    Because those were the carbs the guys were having the most trouble with. I had a few spares I rebuilt and sold so that's how that got started. I also rebuild the differentials. I have the special tools for those.

    Not only does it test carbs but it will test other components on these models of 3wheelers. It operates just as it does as if it were in a trike chassis. I'll have come up with some clever gizmo to run on the output shaft. Something to make people go hmmmmm!!!!

    Believe it or not but there is still a strong 3wheeler presence out there. I belong to a couple of 3wheeler sites and we have thousands of members world wide. Keep that 200M Bubbles. Bring it back to life. Post a pic of it if you wouldn't mind.
