The worst part is that if it's a can of ethylene glycol, it will taste pleasantly sweet and slightly fruity. Then you'll die when your liver converts it into formaldehyde.

Early rotaries run on anything burnable that fits through the carburetor, including kerosene, so I've read.
EFI on later ones can probably be tuned for anything that you can squeeze through an injector. Carb was more forgiving.

Nah, that's menthanol, goes to formaldehyde and then to formic acid. Ethylene glycol goes to glycoaldehyde, then glycolic acid, then oxalic acid.

Treatment's the same for both of them: pure ethanol, baby!

Dunno about bitterants but a lot of newer ones are also based on propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol, so they don't have the cloyingly sweet taste/odor to begin with. It's also not horrifically toxic unless you basically chug it.

I've dealt with coolant changes on all three cars in the past couple of months - Prestone Green in the C10, Zerex G05 in the WJ, and Honda Blue in the CR-V - so I don't even recall which one it was that gave me a taste.

Isn’t it almost certainly propylene glycol, and drinking a can of it would basically have no major negative effect?

Propylene glycol is GRAS, so it's not toxic, but drinking 500mL of it will probably make you poo poo your pants. Also, PG is extremely sweet. It's used in cough syrup, candy, wine coolers, and all kinds of stuff because it's so sweet

A fan went out on my sim2 Italian designed projector. So I think to myself this should be pretty easy to pull the fans and put in new ones.
Pull the cover and realize that the fans are basically buried way the gently caress under everything because its the most likely component to die. Call up the manufacture and they specifically state

:nyd: "don't take it apart, even our trained techs have problems putting them back together and getting them to work!"


Anyways, I start pulling screws out and I get to this point and I just can't believe it.


That one loving screw made me take out the PCB and that was still a bitch because that screw at the far end is blocked by the post.
Its just one failure after another for manufacuting, hell I counted about 6 different screw sizes when they could have gotten away with just two.

Not molten, just hot enough that it is malleable enough to work pretty easily. That why you end up with that arch swaying at the end. Also why you have a big pile rather than a spreading pool killing everyone.

We had to disable and condemn one piece of our client's kitchen equipment because it was leaking egregiously. No problem though! Just use the kitchen exhaust-hood to vent the gas and continue to use it.

Our tech was alerted to it because it was audibly hissing. This was in a high end restaurant, too.
Oh, they also asked us to never dispatch that technician to them again.

High end restaurants are actually some of the worst clients to work for. You'd think they'd really care about keeping their equipment up to par, since, you know, you're selling like $200 meals.
Nope. We did service for a multi-million dollar restaurant group, and all of them were the worst. One place in particular stood out though.

The building was an old Howard Johnson's from the '40s. The kitchen had no AC. They were a steakhouse, and they had a very large, open grill in the back where they did all the cooking. It was regularly over 120* in there with that thing going. I have no idea how the self-contained ref. units in there worked.

One of our techs went to go work on a unit, and pulled the evap cover. He was greeted with a shower of cockroaches. Another tech went there and had a rat run across the kitchen in front of him. Well, not so much run, as amble slowly since it had gorged itself on potatoes. They never closed the walk in cooler doors there either, so those were regularly running at 50* or so.

Also, we stopped doing service for that group because they racked up like $50,000 worth of bills that they just decided to go "nah" on.

If it were me in charge, I'd send that tech every time thereafter, if he were willing to do it. "Oh, sorry, he's the only guy available. I could pull someone else for a 50% upcharge."

WTF, man. I don't get that poo poo at all.

Also, Jesus Christ that roller misfeed. How do you even clean that up? Lots of cutting torches, I assume. At least the workers did the only thing they could do - run! Especially the guy who was working at the left where the big pile of spaghetti ended up.
