I posted this last year, heating season is here again. These are big cracks, a tiny one you would not be able to hear would still be dangerous. These are not accident damaged. If you have a set on your car, grab the carbon monoxide detector from home and take a ride with the heat on and windows rolled up. There is a detector used in small aircraft also available. The last photo is how we now test for leaks using air pressure. Brad

So just the shell is stainless? Jim The whole heat exchanger is stainless except the earlier muffler flanges. The pipes are a magnetic stainless (304?) Brad, 304 would be non-magnetic as I remember. 400 or 500 series would be magnetic (more iron, less nickel - from my days in the restaurant equipment industry). |
