using a digger in doors

[gensetsteve]

Lpg engine but unlikely to find. Do the job on a windy day

will open all the doors. but as other posts i think its going to be all the horse dung thats dried so will wear a respirator to stop any of that going in lungs.

as for using a scraper its so hard packed would bounce over. its been trodden in so much its pushed to sides with channels in middle need to get it from sides and level it out. as for the horse folk i will be doing it on there closed day so only the staff in then.

once i get it working will then use the polaris with a set of chains on back to keep it level.

thanks for input much apreciated

I may be wrong here but was told u can't gas urself in a desiel car. So i'm persuming no CO?

 

If its big enough to ride horses round i doubt it is enclosed enough to gas urself.

 

Interesting question, in general a diesel burns with about 50% more air than stoichiometric, spark ignition engines have to burn at near stoichiometric (exactly the right amount of air to burn the fuel completely) this generally leads to less CO but there is always some, a well set up old fashioned (not electronic with common rail) diesel would produce about 1000 parts per million CO, a pre cat petrol engine would pass the MOT at 30000 ppm. I think 100ppm is dangerous.

 

So you probably don't need many air changes to keep below the safe limit but there is a positive feedback in that as the CO and CO2 level from the exhaust builds up the engine will produce more CO.

 

A modern car with a cat up to temperature and working produces little CO.

 

Long term the danger is more likely from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons attached to the soot particles from a diesel that will harm you if farmer rods dust doesn't get your lungs first.

I reckon the biggest problem would be light headedness. Horses means women in jahodpers, all that blood draining from/to your head

that's why i am getting a spinney head when working there now i know its not the fumes from the horses but ?????

as for working with digger will do a bit let it clear and do a bit more.

should be able to do it in half a day.
