What am I looking at, here...?  Did someone accidentally drop their milkshake in their air filter?

IIRC that's a wonderfull of combination of water and oil, that then gets fed back into the air filter via the PCV system?

It's a rover, it probably did that by itself via some horrendous HG/liner/block failure and ensuing lack of repair until it stopped moving of its own accord.

Edit: Planes don't usually make it in this thread, but there have been some interesting photos released this week of an aircraft fire.    I guess the theory is that some depot worker hand-tightened an O2 fitting instead of torquing properly. Eventually it worked loose, there was an ignition source, and BAM! Insta-fire that can't easily be put out. Exactly what you want on a loving airplane. Godholio fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Aug 26, 2015 |

I'm going to go ahead and give my opinion that if a single nut being not quite tight enough can cause a plane to go down in flames, then maybe there's something of a design flaw there.

Weird. The company named in that is one I deliver to regularly (they have a satellite office near my store, I assume for engineers or something). I always thought they were part of Level 3; I finally asked the other day what they did in that building, and was told "we're a DoD contractor, and that's about as much as I can say".

You are theoretically right, but sometimes it is hard to avoid. For example it sounds like this was a loose flare nut. Flare fittings are exceptionally safe when tightened properly, which is why we use them on brake lines and other hydraulics (as well as high pressure fuel systems and all manner of other stuff like that), but if they aren't properly checked or torqued it can be a very serious issue.

This is the story of why I love Toyota (seriously, I owned it for 10 years and almost 200k kilometres, and with what they bought it off me for under the recall, I ended up paying $6k for that truck). As to how do you tow it - maybe chain the front and back tires together and haul it onto a flatbed? I really don't know. Maybe just use a front-end loader? :P

My cousin got a new frame for his - the first time. The second time they bought it back from him and gave him enough to buy basically the same truck, but with fewer miles and less rot, again.

veedubfreak posted:That's kind of sad. How does the frame rot out that bad with the rest of the vehicle in still pretty decent looking shape? Exceptionally bad steel used in the frame. Like, terrible. Mine lived in Manitoba for most of its life, and was still okay. Had a full safety, frame inspected, everything was solid. One Ontario winter (where they act like Romans and salt the earth), and the frame went to poo poo. I'm sure this means there was already rust somewhere, but it wasn't bad. Took it in for an oil change/get the winter tires off/etc, and apparently the tech who put it on the lift nearly dove out from under it when he saw how rusted the frame was. It was badddddddd.

low quality steel combined with faulty design. I have seen a few tundras that were essentially 2 layers of c channel riveted over each other. The problem with this is that capillary action draws water and salt in between the layers and it festers and rots from the inside out. You only see it when it bursts through or the frame balloons up and looks like filo dough because it is packed full of chunky rust. This is also why rockers, wheel arches, and floors along spotweld joints rot out first. All places that gravity and/or capillary action conspire against you to keep moisture on the metal for longer than everywhere else. e: wrangler frames suffer from the same issue due to poor drainage in the low spots, brackets welded on affecting the rust resistance of the base metal, and wicking of water near the trans crossmember. It is a very common design flaw, it only turns into a recall when it is really bad or presents a serious safety issue. kastein fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Aug 26, 2015 |

 concentration cell corrosion is what that is called. When you get a small space like that Ir accelerates the corrosion. I used to work on snowplow/sanding trucks which get salt everywhere. Alot of older trucks had the laminated frames which would have to get taken off of the road since they would have so much metal missing.

SuperDucky posted:My company's biggest customer is Level 3. Our servers have seen some poo poo but we will never know about it. When I referred to "Level 3", I meant Level 3 Communications - the tier 1 internet provider. This place is also Level 3, but their sign says L3 Mustang Technologies, and the sign in the lobby adds "Unmanned Division" or something about Unmanned stuff. Never noticed that until today, I'm usually chatting with the secretary (she's friendly, and hey, I like to talk anyway) while waiting for whoever ordered to come down, and enjoying the loving awesome air conditioning that almost has me shivering. When I finally asked what they did there, she mumbled stuff about department of defense, and I went "ohhhhh... I was thinking Level 3 Communications, the large internet backbone provider". Then noticed all the flags.  Level 3 is one of our more frequent customers. They don't usually order more than 10 pizzas at a time (they ordered 14 today), and they generally give us several hours notice. My store is a low volume store, so we really don't have to staff to deal with even a 10-15 pizza order that we're not prepared for. Slavvy posted:Check your car for tracking devices As if Android and Google aren't tracking my every move already. You can even see where I had dinner.  Almost looks like an angry spider. They'd be pretty disappointed to see where I go on a daily basis. Actually, a cellphone remanufacturing factory we delivery to has tighter security, at least in appearances (I guarantee Level 3 has more hidden security though) - I've caught the cellphone place trying to get my car towed more than a few times now, just because it's a car they don't recognize (and I can't put a car topper on my car - sunroof is in the way, and it has to face a certain direction). Have to go through a metal detector and get the drat pizza bags xrayed to get into the cellphone place, and it's always a bitch finding the person who ordered.

The L in L-3 doesn't stand for Level btw. They have nothing to do with Level 3. Which is good because L3 is an unbelievably poo poo company.
