Some aspects are considered of the Einstein vacuum field equations for the diagonal form of the general static metric. A power series expansion is considered in which in the first non-trivial order one gets seven equations for four unknowns. This is reduced to a single Poisson equation in which the source is given in terms of a harmonic function and some arbitrary functions of two variables. A similar reduction is carried out in detail for the next non-trivial order. The approximation scheme can be extended to arbitrarily high orders in principle. The connexion of the diagonal form with the Weyl solutions and the merits of the diagonal and non-diagonal forms are briefly discussed. A general solution of one of the field equations is presented.
