Q:my truck just left me on the side of the road due to overheating. it had started hesitating and blowing white smoke while on idle until it started overheating and smoking white continuously. what do you think my problem is? my truck is a 2005 ford F250 diesel

Not unless you want to degrade its pressure rating! Bring it inside to warm it and attach the nuts, cones, and retaining rings, then take it outside to tighten to the fittings. If you can't bring it inside, gently warm with a hair dryer, but do not heat it too much. If it is too soft, the metal rings will cut through it.

Q:What are the national standards for pipe connections (R (PT)) with tapered tubes at both ends? Thank you

60 degrees taper pipe thread: NPT3/4 "55 degrees taper pipe thread: external thread -R3/4", internal thread -Rc3/4"

Q:We have a fire and CO detector that I removed from the ceiling to paint it.After I removed it I saw in tiny print to shut it off before removing. I really am not familiar with what it looks like off hand as I'm at work.It is sensitive to the light being turned on and it goes off every time we turn the light on. It says warning, carbon monoxide levels are high, then it says carbon monoxide levels are 0 PPM and stops.They are all new and all of them have gone off at least twice since moving in and only when the light is turned on. They go off within seconds.How can I get this one to stop going off EVERY time? Like I said, I'm at work and not familiar off hand with what's on it. I'd hope there's some kind of reset button? Is it too close to the light? It's maybe 2-3 feet away from the light.I'm sure I can figure it out eventually, but it's just weird to never have a problem this bad with it until now.

Yes; even at the same joint. I have an outdoor boiler/hydronic system and wish I'd gone with this in the first place rather than the CPVP feed. 20 yrs. with hot water boiler (wood).

Q:I'm still in the process of getting used to an electric stove. I'm planning on frying meatballs in canola oil and I'm wondering what heat setting I should use. I need it to be hot enough to actually cook the ground beef but not too hot because our smoke detectors are super sensitive. Thanks!

Q:whats the difference between bushings or bearings?

Black pipe is typically used for natural gas plumbing, I would NOT recommend using a torch for this unless you have a death wish. Turn off the gas from the main, vent the content from inside the pipe from the exterior, add fittings to properly reposition the line using a petroleum-safe joint compound, turn on the gas and check for leaks at the fittings as necessary. NEVER heat rigid pipe to bend it for ANY reason.

Q:in my assignment im asked to explain about the difficulties and misuses of lightning rods, ive looked everywhere on the net for them but im not finding

What is the concept of a speed bump? it just messes your tires up

Q:crappy will i get in trouble by the fire fighters if i paint it the same color . thankx

Greetings from the northern plains, with not the least bit of amusement over your suffering what we've always dealt with. First, to get it out of the way, do not call this guy back again, as he is ripping you off. I believe it's called profiteering, like the bastards that would spike the price of plywood to $100 a sheet before, or after, a tornado or hurricane. (I would perhaps make this a hobby to go after the guy, his reputation, and his business, as he is one low-life dude, and I can be nasty.) Nuff. Drain cleaning chemicals are intended to dissolve, or at least loosen, clogs such as grease, hair, soap, etc., but not ice. Yes, ice can form in drain lines, especially if not nicely sloped (where there's a sag in a straight run), or at a fitting. Once started, it can accumulate - that's how icicles are formed, a little a time. If the drain pipe leaving the kitchen (likely 1 1/2 pipe) is enclosed above the garage, I'd open up the garage ceiling (if finished), or perhaps the chase it's boxed in with, and warm the pipe with hot air, to get things going. Once done with that, get some insulation under the pipe (in effect getting the pipe into the envelope of the house, not below it). I agree that the yellowish leak may well be the drain cleaner, but the leak also betrays - a leak. Any and all fittings should be inspected. Worst case is actually a cracked drain pipe from the ice, and steel drain pipe (very not likely). PVC or ABS plastic drain pipe is quick and economical to cut out and repair, so buck up. (Personally, I would also exit with an access panel for the next time, not just sealing up with a drywall repair.) In the coldest climates, some might use pipe heating tape as a preventative measure, but I suspect you aren't in one, just caught in this nasty weather. The tape, however is not a good solution to an already-frozen line - it's too slow.

Q:Every time we turn on the heat, there is a terrible oil smell that comes up from the basement. It gives everyone in the house headaches, irritated throats and eyes. Can anyone explain why and how to resolve this?

They don't mind them in UK. Our fire hydrants are flush with the ground. However, dogs here seem to dislike trees(and my back once when I was sitting on the ground).

Q:which one is best (If u don know them then search on youtube)Cradle DDTAce Crusher/Diamond CutterKOBE World LinerGanmegiriBuzzsaw KickBrock LockBurning LariatWQ: Tajiri is awesome, he is probably the only wrestler i like even though he's not the most skilled person, what do you think of him.

Hopefully harsh. That kind of stuff is ridiculous.

Q:Were there fire hoses on the top floors of the Asch Bldg?What was the source of water and water pressure?

Hmm, 2 is 'CLOTHES', 3 is 'APRON'. All I can think of! I've had to do something like this before when I first started Science lessons. Shows how much I've remembered!
