I don't doubt it but that really wouldn't keep me, DIY, from adding the second receptacle. It's perfectly safe as long as both loads are not active at the same time. For safety's sake I might try both loads and make sure that the breaker pops.Originally Posted by ERD50 View Post
... it is against code to add a second receptacle to the circuit, those are dedicated to the circuit ...
FWIW I have never had an inspector come to the door and announce that he was there to check for code violations. I suppose a very sharp house inspector might spot the issue if we were selling the house, but that is not a worry for me either.
I have an older friend that had a two year old SUV. One morning at our group breakfast he related to the group that he had a flat tire on his SUV, so he bought a new one, as he pointed out the window to his new SUV.
^^^ Yeah, once a vehicle has a flat tire it is ruined for life and the only insane thing to do is to trade it in for a new one.
An old timer told me be loved his Lincolns, but used to trade them in as soon as the (analog) clock stops working.I have an older friend that had a two year old SUV.

This car ran hot until it died on the road. We can't diagnose via Internet, but coolant may have contaminated the oil, which means likely bearing damage. Plus possible head damage (warp or crack). I think Scuba's mechanic is probably offering the best option. YMMV.
Edit: This thread prompted me to take a look at the water pump in DW's Prius. It's starting to weep, so I'm ordering a new pump, thermostat and radiator along with other odds and ends.
