well spotted Mog! :) not good Andrew! Nothing worse than being a long way from support and an added language barrier. Its not only that there aren't many Mitsu diagnostics testers in China its also that there isn't much experience of the vehicle. The bad news is that this sort of problem...

if its the same or different with a full tank it may help the diagnosis. Another place to look is the water trap if there is one. I had one with a pinhole air leak. On very close inspection I could see a fine line of bubbles. Not enough to have air collect in the fuel filter but enough with a...

on Feb 9th (in Nepal) we had a near dashboard fire. Saved by disconnecting battery. Sod of a job bypassing damaged wires to get us mobile. Yet to replace loom (but will do). The cause of my almost fire was a short somewhere and a fuse that melted but didn't blow. Yesterday just north of...

is it the same with full tank and almost empty tank?

thanks Shannon - nice pressie - the last time I had access to horribly expensive industrial IR camera was about 1988 when reducing industrial furnace fuel oil consumption. Had to write a capital request for the accountants. We like sushi. It would also have saved a bit of the effort tracing a...

another place to look for thermal image may be the outside wall where the fridge is. Despite all my insulation I've seen condensation on the outside in some climates / time of day.

I added some foam (camping sleeping mat closed cell) to the inside of the my standard Camec Al door as well as blocking the vent. Longer term plan is to rebuild the door with foam sandwich panel, same as body. I'll replace the handle / lock as well, I'm nearly at the end of the second handle and...

good example, thanks, and yup, condensation is a big part of the thermal bridge problem

my sub-frame is flat, so the box floor is flat ... mounting wasn't a consideration for floor shape, my mount is distinctively unique 3 + 4 (that's 3 point plus 4 helpers). water tanks under floor suspended from sub-frame, between chassis rails easier to build a rectangular box than anything...

whatever

which page of what are you on? its probably a standards and units thing. JIS do it differently. Probably tensile strength 440MPa Original vs 550MPa Puggslyyyy Roughly HSLA 65 vs HSLA 80.

it'll be in your doco somewhere, I read it in the fuso document I linked to - I guess that's why I linked to it. 65 ksi

Always good to have the specs. Probably tensile strength 440MPa Original vs 550MPa Puggslyyyy Roughly HSLA 65 vs HSLA 80. Both HSLA = high strength low alloy steels (low carbon 0.21% C original 0.18% C Puggslyyyy, about 1.5%Mn and 0.30% Si original 0.60% Si Puggslyyy). There's possibly small...

the original Fuso frame is high tensile steel. I don't know the spec, probably low alloy. I'm guessing Pugslyyy's is mild steel. Several mechanisms for failure, possibly most common would be in the heat affected zone around the weld. More likely in welding the high tensile steel. Simplistically...

I can't find where I originally posted and described it (more than 18 months ago) and its difficult to recall the feeling with accuracy as one gets used to things over time. Recollection is there was an improvement on all surfaces. Most noticeable was the reduction in jarring. It wasn't that I...

I did the first 50,000 or so km on standard springs partly with suspension seats. The next 50,000 or so km with parabolics. I changed the springs after a few broken leaves and it was easier/cheaper in a foreign land to freight from Aus. I can now change the volume on the radio while moving...

heat loss calculator may be useful for "sensitivity analysis" http://www.chromalox.com/resource-center/calculators/comfort-heater.aspx sorry, its non-metric! :) Not sure what sort of strength you are looking for in the walls. The sandwich panels get their strength from the skins, the sandwich...

to be specific, here's why I posted ... no great drama, no judgement, individual choice and all that - just a gentle reminder that open flames require ventilation. Open flame + inadequate ventilation = death. Some countries have a better understanding of adequate and are more used to providing...

had to think about some of the recent posts. While traveling, on occasion I was entertained in others' vehicles, and occasionally did some internal repairs to help out. I'm used to ventilation. The heavily insulated with small windows vehicles appeared "stuffy" to me after a very short period...

increases the toughness coefficient of both countries .... :)
