Helens 1934 Humber Runs 15 degrees Colder

by lewisl on August 28, 2013

Here is a nice email from Helen who needed to get the temperature gauge out of the red zone using Liquid Intelligence 239 Engine Cooling System Cleaning Kit…

Hi guys,

Here we are at Eastern Creek with “Dame Edna” going out for the parade laps. After using your radiator and block cleaner my 1934 Humber runs 15 degrees colder. I now spend more time watching the road and less watching the gauge and worrying.

Thanks

Helen

Hey Helen the car looks great. I was there myself. There must have been a couple of thousand cars there. I will check out this radiator product. If it looks after your Dame Edna must be good stuff

The newer BMW radiators with Plastic tanks start lneikag, and cracking. My water neck on my factory BEHR radiator broke off while driving on the free way, and caused my car to overheat and blow my head gasket and crack my cylinder head, even though I pulled over as soon as I could.

You should be fine with the capacity of the Nature’s Head, as it is designed for up to 2 people full time. Occasional guests are no problem. I suggest emptying it at the beginning of summer. The guideline is 60-80 solid uses between emptying. This means two people using the toilet full time empty it about every 6-8 weeks. Now depending on your guests, you might need to shorten that just slightly.The entire unit does not need to be unbolted. The top comes off easily – it’s on slip hinges. The base is attached to the floor on two brackets, and you just turn the knobs by hand to release the base from the bracket. The whole thing is a 30 second operation, and is pretty easy. Then yes – you do need to invert the base, to dump the contents into a green plastic garbage bag (or some other kind of container). The plastic garbage bag is used to carry the material outside for finishing the composting process. As mentioned in the blog, many people use a 5 gallon plastic pail with a lid. They put the opened bag inside the bucket. Punch a few holes in the lid for ventilation and let it sit for 12 weeks or so before putting it on ornamental plants. You don’t need a step. It’s only slightly higher than a regular toilet(which is 14-17 inches).Doug, let me know if you have any further questions. I am very enthusiastic about the Nature’s Head, because it works exactly as promised and I never have any customer complaints. I’ve been in business selling things for a long time and it’s never been like this before. These are great toilets, made in the USA under fair wage conditions, and backed by a 5 year warranty. Warranty repairs are extremely rare but we have replaced a couple of fans. With the solar vent, you can forget about the fan. The Nicro vent is a very nice option. Eventually the rechargeable batteries in the solar vent lose efficiency, but they are cheap at Radio Shack.

The disposal is pretty easy. Remove the inner bin, put a shovel full of dirt on it, put the lid on and let it sit. 6 months later put it on plants. This is in sharp contrast to dealing with the waste in the older style, non-urine seperating brands. If something goes wrong with those older types (and that is common) you have an unbelivable mess to deal with. Your husband is rightfully afraid of dealing with those older styles. There can really be no problems with the Separett. The poop dries out, and dried poop does not stink. The toilet can’t leak (no water in there), and there can never be a mechanical failure, a system break down or any sewage to clean up. About the only thing you might need to replace years down the road is the fan, and that is cheap and easy. Many standard fans could be made to work. You could even use a fan built into a solar attic vent, and never worry about electricity again.Separett is a well-establised company, but you can use any compostable plastic bags. There are no other real nessesities. Good old water and vinegar shoild keep the urine tubes clear.Very nice composting toilets can be built by skilled carpenters. They look fine in woodsy cabins, but might seem out of place in some homes. The Separett however looks more like a toilet (guests are not alarmed) and it has a view screen so you don’t need to gaze down at the solids. It’s gasketed and sealed, so there is less chance of odor escaping. There is a high quality fan built in. If you do build one, you need to set up a urine separating system, or you could have a sewage tank rather than a composting toilet. That’s a lot to sort out on your own but it can be done.

Thanks Kristen,Tried your suggestions but problem persisted.It’s fixed now though. Turns out the inlet/outlet reservoir on the side of the radiator is supposed to have a divider in it which I presume is to divert the incoming water into the radiator fins and then when the water cycles back from returning at the other end it forces the water to go out the outlet pipe rather than back around the radiator. Well, this was missing so water/coolant coming into the radiator could simply go straight back out the outlet without going through the fins.This raises questions as to where it went because it didn’t even look corroded. It was simply gone. Anyway, this is Mexico! And at least we have a new thermostat and temp sensor and a compression test has revealed all is good there.Phew! And thanks for your help!

Drain your radiator fluid into a bucket. Dry the threads on the plug and the hole it fits into with a q-tip or two. Then brush on the gel type pipe thread sealer on the threads of the plug and hole.Tighten to a normal tightness and all should be well. If not, then do what many have done, JB Weld (an engine epoxy avail at the hardware store) the plug using the same process of draining and drying the hole threads, and when you need to drain the future, just pop off a radiator hose. In fact, alot of cars dont have a drain plug, pulling a hose is the standard method of draining. Also, make sure you wire brush off the area around the hole and if it looks to be any hairline cracks, JB weld those spots too after sanding with 100 grit or a coarse wire brush. Look for white mineral deposits, and wirebrush them looking for cracks under them, then apply JB weld over them.Good luck and have a good superbowl sunday. Was this answer helpful?

Hi Cindy,Thank you for your comments. I think it is clear that you are running into problems because the drain is blocking. That’s good news, because we can solve that easily.First, remember that all composting toilets require a bit more involvement from the user than a regular toilet, and you have to be sure you are doing everything correctly. It’s simple, but it requires a bit of care.Keeping the drain open is absolutely vital. This cannot be stressed too much.We have to think…how is it getting blocked? Sounds like it’s getting blocked with wet toilet paper. Dry toilet paper would not fit down that tube, so it must be getting wet. Here is your main problem, I think. It is very important to try to get most of the urine forward, and not get the tp wet. This should happen naturally with women and men, but anatomy varies and some people have to aim a bit. The toilet paper in the bowl should be almost completely dry if you are using the toilet correctly.So your clogged tube problem should be an easy fix. Make sure that the tp is placed carefully in the main bowl, with the solids. Then all of the tp will fall down into the solids bin when you open it.You need to stay on top of it and make sure the urine is always diverting. Looking at the urine bottle should tell you what is happening. Based on your problems with a clogged urine tube, I suggest taking a look every time you use it, to make sure urine is flowing. It needs to be dumped every day or two. If it is not filling up, then you have a problem. It is vital that urine does not enter the main chamber. If urine enters the chamber, big problems result. No urine, no problems.If the urine is being separated properly, then two of you should not have to empty the toilet more than every 6 weeks or so. It holds 60-80 solid uses.Almost all problems with composting toilets relate to too much urine mixing in with the solids. The drains in all brands of toilets have to be clear and operating correctly. This is basic maintenance. If you do this, I am confident your problems will be solved.I don’t like incinerator toilets. They are costly to operate, and make you dependant on fossil fuels. If you run out of propane – no toilet. They have a significant carbon footprint and would not be considered an environmentally friendly choice.Thousands of people are using the Nature’s Head successfully, and I’m sure you will be happy if you keep the urine drain clear.
