Keystone State Thread

Going out this Morning was like Christmas Morning no traffic and everything closed.

Just my normal luck it is my time to go grocery shopping.

A fresh road kill would be fine.

 

I've seen about the same amount of traffic every day.. but I don't see much traffic to begin with.

One of my coworkers drives from Williamsport and he said it was kind of eerie how little traffic was moving around in the city.

 

Been nice with no traffic heading the Ft. Dix.

 

Having trouble finding anything more detailed than the PA press release. Here are some Philly guidelines:

I have since checked with the PVMA (Pennsylvania Vet. Med. Assoc.) and they affirm to us that all of vet. med. was deemed by the higher ups as "essential". So, I'm good. I can still feed my family and support my employees.

 

You cater to people with 4 legged Children you are essential!!

How many show up might be a different story .

Any appointments cancel ??

I asked if I was non essential at work I had ideas of getting projects done.

I was told I would be the last one to be non-essential as I can do every job.

 

We've only had a couple cancellations. It hasn't been any kind of wildfire thing to that regard (thankfully). We'll see what happens if the whole region starts coughing though.

Sounds like you've got the luck like @loosnut described (You just keep coming in like usual).

 

So I have had the CEL on for about 3 weeks now. I have the usual evap codes. I did replace the canister this weekend, but to no avail. Made it home free and clear, made it 2 miles down the road the next morning and boom turned back on. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this? I read the filter is a 4x4 piece of paper. I have a hard time justifying $70 for that. The issue is that i can't manipulate my traction control or VSC. Eventually that will be an issue, possibly off-road, but definitely in snow. I also have a lot more rust than I though, and fluidfilm did not save the bolts. To be fair they had a 3 year head start before i discovered fluid film. So I have to drill the old bolts out and properly mount it at some point. The good news is it is just zip tied in, so easy removal.

Any and all advice on this is much appreciated.

 

Good to know just which codes.

Have you done cheap and tried a Gas Cap??

It seems as soon as the test cycled the code tripped.

Any physical damage to any of the wire harness or any of the electrical plugs the liquid brine gets in every place.

 

I know that older Subarus have a problem where the solenoids at the canister start sticking once they reach the age/abuse limits. Sometimes aggravating to diagnose. Look very similar to Toyota setups.

 

The project I'm working on is slated to be done in August. Somebody that works on campus might have the Corona. Work goes on, construction workers are third class citizens

 

P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402, and P2419
These are the codes that popped the last time. I didn't read them this time as i don't have a way. I assume they are the same this time as well.

I didn't try the gas cap, and actually popped the top of mine off when I lifted the bed because i didn't think to unscrew it first. This is why I come to you guys! I actually have a spare in my old bed, so maybe I'll pop that on tonight and disconnect the battery.

I didn't notice any physical damage, but also didn't inspect everything while I was in there either. I just had faith the canister would fix it. Plus I had to cut the damn thing out, and was trying to finish so we could get the bedrack built. I suppose I will put a new cap on, and when it dries out enough to crawl back there I can clean the wires up and get a visual inspection done. Is there a test I can do with a multimeter to determine if there are any issues with wiring?

 

Did you put so much pressure on the filler neck you pulled the gas cap off??

When you swapped canisters??

I am sure you have electrical tests that can be done I don`t have any reference that new .

Any opening in there could cause the majority of your codes.

 

I agree there aren't any civilian level preparedness drills, information, education, etc... The local and state emergency management agencies drill for even the wildest of scenarios. The problem is always the people. We have done a few "large scale" trainings, every time there are idiots that show up to protest. We did a drill for an MCI at a school, people showed up protesting gun violence and gun control. We did a drill for a gas leak at a compressor station, people showed up protesting Mariner east and all these pipeline projects. You mention an incident and people come up with all these excuses on why they shouldn't prepare themselves for it. It's ridiculous.

 

The thing that makes me shake my head about people protesting this stuff.
1.Dont you have a job to be at?
2.These same protesters will be the first ones,Oh help me,i meed protection

 

My thoughts exactly. Something tells me the traits that lead to them protesting are the same traits that make them unemployable.
