    Schaffers 131 vs 131C?

    I have been using the 131C Soy Ultra for a couple of years now and my 2001 Sienna runs so smooth that you can hardly feel or hear it running. No scientific facts just my opinion. I recommend it.

    HP 8620 Printer Failure

    HP uses a water based ink. Solvents won't dissolve water based inks. Soak the cartridge head in warm water or some glass cleaner. If that doesn't work buy a re-manufactured cartridge.

    Maintenance Additive for Poor/Non-Top Tier Fuel?

    Why don't you try Renewable Lubricants Bio-Plus Injector Cleaner Gas Conditioner on Amazon. It is BMW approved. I just got through using one gallon and it made my cars run smoother. I used about 1.5 oz. per 15 gallons. I am now trying Schaeffer's SoyUltra Gasoline Additive #131C. No complaints...

    Where can I find a longer tube for a spray can?

    I had an electronic repair store. I used mini aquarium tubing with the straw ends. Melted the straws on a 45 degree angle. Made them about 18 or 24" long. Worked great. Cans stayed upright and you could spray in all different angles.

    Printer Opinions

    Whatever printer you choose, Google the make and model followed by the word problems. Example - HP 4250 problems. If it comes up with one consistent problem pass it by, chances are you will have the same problems. I do this on any equipment that I buy.
