Hi Guys

Anyone have any idea why? When I first start Blazer it blows water out of blower exhaust as if waste tank is full? Only happens for a couple of seconds but don't like the idea of water sitting in the blower. Even if I leave the machine running for ten mins, it will still do it the next morning? 

TIA

It could be condensation or it could be one of the heat exchangers has a small leak so blows it out of the exhaust first thing in the morning.

As above.
If it was condensation it would clear very quickly.
If it is a heat exchanger leak it would happen all of the time. But, having said that, it could be a heat exchanger leak that is re-sealing itself when it heats up.
The way to check is:
Make sure your water box is full when you've finished with it at night, if it is not as full, or empty in the morning, you have a leak.

I would think more likely to be a heat exchanger leak. Is this an easy fix?

[Simon Gerrard]

Is it a radiator type heat exchanger?

Not sure, don't think so, it's a pretty old machine, Blazer plus

[Mike Halliday]

If it is you can quite easily bypass the radiator heat exchanger on the old Blazers, it will also increase the air flow. They get clogged up with debris over the years. Stand at the front of the machine and look to the right hand side, near the back is a steel box (at floor level) inside here is the blower heat exchanger

If it's the cylinder exhaust heat exchanger then I have One you can buy, but it's off a 20yr old blazer, but was in use until a few months ago

Thanks Mike

Sorry to be a pain, any chance you could send a pic of your heat exchanger to my mobile 07592898298. This would make it a little easier for my stupidness to deal with the situation!

It's in the unit it'll be the weekend before I get here

The weekend is fine, It doesn't appear to effect performance (yet) sorry to be a pain.

I've had some amazing success using wonder weld from Halfords sorted my heat exchanger leak which was quite bad.

[Dave_Lee]

The Blazer has an air cooled engine doesn't it - no radiator,  just an engine exhaust heat exchanger.

No Dave , it also has ( I believe) an ambient blower H/X ( rad type) however I dont think t wold provide that much extra heat.

[Bob Allen]

My Boxxer does it occasionaly if I have let the waste tank get quite full and drive around it soon clears though

[MAX Carpets]

Don't think its that, I never drive around with full waste tank

[Mike Halliday]

This is it, but from what you say yours is not leaking, they are a bit  of a git  to change as well

[MAX Carpets]

Any idea what else could be causing it? The header tank doesn't appear to be losing water? I don't think it's condensation, it's a bit more water than that
