Hill had thawed out upon my return,,,fixed a few leaks and got the system back to 22",,releaser was not freezing inside so left the pump running,,,check rte.11 on way home,,releaser was freezing inside badly and bearley running (seemed colder there) but left it running,,went to hoit road,,releaser was frozen (leak on the slides-sucking some air right into the line going to the pump) as I took the vac. line off the releaser I broke a fitting on the balance tank ,,,off to lowes at 8pm,,,went by rte.11 on way back,,that was solid,,shut it off,,off now to break some more stuff-burn more gas
I have noticed a few thing about higher vac. levels (over 20") #1 if you have a leak somewhere and the temp is around freezing,,the line will freeze (not the case at 16")
#2 the higher vac. you pull the more leaks you find
