[Vwdiesel] Frozen doorlocks and fuel caps.

[H . Hagar.]

Remember the winter 1941  1942  ???   the one with all those Volks  knocking on the dors in Stalingrad ? ----    talking about frozen locks.

I was in Copenhagen Denmark ----and   shivering.

On a clear sunny day  on the way home from school ---I put my tungue on a frosty fence

galvanized pipe with lots of frost on it    ----If you want to get educated real fast ?
That will do it.

James Hansen and Sandy Cameron ----they know how to do it ?   EH ?   we all had the lighter
on the key and getting in that way.

Fuel cap ?   piece of apple pie.   Put in oven overnight --or on a heat register  then some
lock oil   or like me   silicon oil  for the pins..      Dorlock is harder to do   ---but  lock
antifreeze does work.    For the dorseal ?     I spray and polish with  Pledge.    I have a feeling that
any furniture polish with silicone  will work.   A kettle of hot water will open the door any time.

I did get a bit of a lead on you guys ---working in the Worlds biggest drive in freezer in
Steveston BC .  ----70 below stuff.   ----that was fun ---in the summertime. About 1963.or
1965. Wiping doorseal with a bit of glycol  works too.

Not being able to open door ?    ---yeah that can be a problem.

Hagar.
