Glad I was able to see him the last time he was in town in 2018! He put on a great show and we had a blast!

Way too many counterfeit goods being sold on Scamazon!

Have to wonder why the fuel is so dirty in the first place. Gasoline doesn't seem to have this issue. For work we do a lot fuel oil service around here. Furnaces, oil tanks etc. Fuel oil is just dyed diesel fuel. The amount of sludge and dirt that build up in the tanks and ends up in the...

Unless its really packed with dirt just use straight water and hose it out.

Gotta keep those air tanks drained often. Old tanks should also be hydro tested if the tank is in questionable shape.

They have hacked mine a couple times now. They must have a random number generator or something because I rarely use mine. My bank has always spotted the fraud and locked my card when it happened. They also have always reimbursed the money taken. The fact the "fraud department" was saying she...

Standing pressure won't tell you much. Don't pull the TXV apart unless you know what you are doing. Yes you will lose freon if you take it apart. If the txv was stuck closed your low side pressure wouldn't be in range. Very possible you have a restriction before it such as a plugged filter...

Low side pressure is in the ball park. The bubble in the sight glass and compressor over loading sounds to me like a head pressure issue. Dirty condenser coil or the condenser fan isn't moving enough air. Need to verify what the high side pressure is running.

I'm assuming the outdoor unit is a heat pump? If so It will be wired to send power to the W on the indoor unit to turn on the heat during a defrost cycle. The blower not coming is an issue for sure. Depending on the wiring in the indoor unit the blower will be either powered by the sequencers in...

The turbo 200 actually works though and serves a purpose.

Much longer than the ones coming from china. Rheem/Ruud used to come from the factory with Amrad capacitors and a lot of them lasted longer than the equipment they were in.

I keep a couple Turbo 200s on my van for units with odd size capacitors to get the customer up and running until I can get the right cap. For a homeowner my recommendation is to keep a spare of the size your system takes. That and a contactor for the outdoor unit. Spare capacitor for your...

The leaky leaf spring issue won't be a problem with these filters because they use a solid metal end cap on the leaf spring end. There is no bypass valve or anti drainback valve in these filters. Ive been using the Fram PH3786, TG3786 and XG3786 without issue for awhile now. I did have an...

Chevron Black Pearl.

Should work fine. Actually should work good because the long length of line under ground will cool the air but it will cause moisture to condense. So long as you have a water trap at the shed end you will be good.
