    Fuel stabilizer in bulk?

    There must be somewhere that you can buy a fuel stabilizer in bulk quantities, say by the gallon. The small quantities that you buy in auto parts stores are a real rip off. I just poured 16 oz in to my 94 suburban with a fill up of non alcohol gas. It about emptied my overpriced bottle of...

    Running an engine with a float charger attached?

    This is for a late '80's Ford with EFI and all the associated electronics. It is my son's car and he is on the east coast so I keep the float charger on the batt. Does it hurt, either the car or the charger to periodically start the engine. It would be a pain to open the hood every time and...

    Auto question for my Aussie cousins.

    In recent years have any Australian cars used hard plastic steering wheels or have the long gone to padded wheels like in the US? I am hoping to find a three spoke plastic rimmed wheel that is about 14 3/4" in diameter. One quick trip through a local salvage yard turned up no plastic wheels...

    Pertronix Ignitor! I'm just sayin!

    Just couldn't keep from sharing this. I have owned an old (1962) 4 cylinder, propane powered Hyster forklift for years. I only use it about every 6-8 weeks. It sits inside an unheated 40 ft storage container, winter and summer. Even with new points it has always been iffy that it will start...

    4th of July Fireworks!!!! My OpEd piece.

    I know there are places where a ban on them is a necessity due to fire hazards but in many others a ban is just one more area of senseless control by those who specialize in doing so. As such, I just had an OpEd piece published in the local newspaper and wanted to share it with you all. You...

    Any Commercial RealEstate Loan Brokers/Bankers?

    Question: Are their any rules or regulations that regulate a bank selling off an existing loan? I would like to propose to a bank that they sell us a certain loan. The details of this situation are more than I want to go into here. Suffice it to say, if the loan goes into default, we want to...

    Gluing a paper label on a DVD-R?

    Can you do it without causing any issues in the DVD player? I would be inclined to use a spray adhesive so there would be no lumps or loose edges to catch and fly off. ....but still, I thought I'd ask the all knowing ones.

    Help me construct a 30 day timer!

    As far as I can find, this does not exist amoung all the name brand timers. I need a timer that will turn on every 30 days for a several hour period. The most I can find are 7 day timers and they can be horribly expensive. I am going to build a board of battery chargers for...
