    I'll have to ask why none of the other ones have it guess, see if it's an issue.

    We already run glycol heat trace at all these locations, just don't know if it's possible to run a line into the box with how we do it

    I hate when engineers do this. Im the someone that’s always gotta fix the engineers mistakes because their drawings never work in real life.

    We use the wires on walk in freezer doors but always 120 or 208. and use the one that looks like romex but its a heater on piping to keep it from freezing

    I don't think there's really way around needing a drier though

    I was being facetious in my "no drier" post, but was genuine in the one prior regarding an auto draining water separator; uses some sort of float that automatically opens at the bottom to release any trapped moisture

    Could also incorporate an auto drain on the tank drain that runs every few minutes (simple solenoid that opens and closes) to drain any water inside

    We've had issues with water drains freezing solid, and then the tank freezing

    Unless you can keep the tank itself warm (at the drain), the whole goal for the auto drain at the tank is to remove moisture periodically to prevent it from accumulating at all

    No moisture = no freezing

    The drain, will just open automatically and use the pressure inside the tank to expel whatever water is in the tank, then it closes automatically again

    It'll do this every 15mins, or even 5 mins, some you can set and others are preset

    But constant draining of your tank means no water build up and I doubt water in the tank will freeze within 5 minutes

    Probably a tiny bit more than the 'Benz.

    This 80 a few days ago was just ridiculous.
    That's like a new Carrera with money leftover for a minty 100 series.

    Oh yeah. Only a few hours in and it's up to $10k which is good. Have a while week ahead so hopefully it can climb a bit higher. I feel very happy with how the photos turned out so hopefully they help sell the car.

    I think it'll definitely help, it looks great. Seats look good for the age too btw.

    It has some things that show it's age but I'm happy with how it looks. It's no show car but that's what makes it an excellent driver.

    I've bought once and this will be the third time selling. I haven't been burned, and it's way more interesting than selling a car in Craigslist/marketplace and dealing with a bunch of tire kickers. I post it no reserve and it sells for market value 7 days later.

    That's awesome

    Yeah I don't and wouldn't have anything to list

    Last low mileage vehicle I sold was my C6 and I got more than asking price through Carmax

    Only had like 67k miles on it as I hardly drove it and I didn't get as many bites as I had hoped on my other forums

    That Merc looks good though
