Big Pete, if that is the trouble shooting being employed by the other engineers, I hope you never have any major issues.
A missing Oring is basic and would have been picked up immediately if they had looked at the purifier again.
Pretty darn scarey

LOL Martin
A bit cynical aren't you, after all we do have TC looking after our Regulatory requirements

Big Pete is keeping us in suspense!!

I would shut off all of the automatics functions and run the purifier manually and see if it was correctly reassembled, then I would open it and check the slide bowl. If I remember the Westfalias correctly there where teflon nozzles fitted in the bowl bottoms that needed to be replaced for proper op...

Interesting that they immediately jumped at the hydrophore pump as the cause even though 2 other purifiers are working correctly and presumably the rebuilt purifier worked before the work.
Westfalia has a very good trouble shooting section in their manual. I would assume Mitsibishi does as well.

Using lead is the same...I'm just old.

Only 80 years LOL!.
Joer must be studying for a Canadian ticket.

You know the sad part of reading Diesel Dames question was knowing that I had actually have used the lead instead of the Plastigauge
But retirement is still so far away.

I suspect someone, in the past had run the engines dry and not recorded it

Or maybe drained the engine immediately after shut down to repair something?

Excellent posts Big Pete, I wish you had been at my elbow while I was studying!!

To tell the truth, it slipped my mind. Working at a different job for the last couple of weeks and my brain hurts.

I edited the original photo to make it more viewable.

Crap, I just lost my whole post due to a finger malfunction. :evil: Basically, during the written exam keep track of where you seemed weak and brush up on those areas before the orals. Remember safety, as has been pointed out. When you get into the exam type questions in the higher tickets, make a p...

ANSUL has issued a Safety Bulletin regarding the potential for Inadvertent Discharges of Marine High Pressure Carbon Dioxide Systems due to a malfunctioning valve. ANSUL has identified the suspect CO2 cylinder valves as those having a date code between 10-07 and 06-08. This date code is located on a...
