Question:

Can you Brakestand in a 1996 toyota avalon fwd?

I was recently in a car accident in which I swerved to avoid a rabbit and ended up on the side of the road hitting a fire hydrant. Nobody was injured and no property other then my own was harmed, but the police are citing me with “criminal negligence saying that i was doing a “brake stand”. I was not doing a brake stand and i don’t even think that it would be possible in that car. Does anyone else agree?

Answer:

The pump they supplied for the boiler loop will be sufficient for most applications, but the building loop pump will have to be calculated. They are two separate systems even though they are connected together with a Decoupler loop. You convert all the fittings to equivalent length of pipe, and then add that number to the actual length of pipe in the system. This is used to find the resistance to flow in the system. In some cases, where the pump is almost large enough, the diameter of the pipe and fittings can be increased a size to reduce the friction losses. Call the manufacture for Tech support if possible.
