Looks like Tamari sauce in that squeeze bottle. How does it taste? I measured with a graduated container for a while but once I got used to the amounts and determined that the performance doesn't require exact concentrations, all I do is "'bout that much." Fast action and the additive funnel...

This poster is poorly written. "One bushel of corn = 2.8 gallons of fuel = 330-420 gallons per acre = 18 lbs of DDGS" Those are all equal? And how does anyone but a member of the Mars Climate Orbiter team compare 18 lbs of DDGS to 35 litres of corn to see what's lost in the processing? "E15...

The UK was $8/gal a long time ago in a price range far far away. The price is probably up since the last report.

No need for a graduated cylinder so long as you only want to test the presence of ethanol and not the actual percent. Put a small amount of water in a bottle and note the line it comes up to. Add some gasoline and shake. If the water line goes up then there's ethanol present. Dispose in any...

What do you suckers do with a bad filter?

Don't pour any of into a gas tank. Even the "gasoline" portion contains some water. The "water" portion contains some ethanol. Pour it into the intake of any running engine. The engine will burn up the gasoline and burn the alcohol out of the water and turn it all into whatever it was going to...

When I saw the HF post I expected item 94607. I got tired of having Snap-on replace the bit on a #1 Phillips every 6 months because it was being used predominantly on #2 heads. I also got tired of the blue Craftsman #2 wearing out on #2 heads every year. So I bought a pair of the previous...

The transmission probably didn't leak as a new car. Are the gaskets at the dealer any better?

You should have spent your summer cleaning out the carbon with a PEA based additive like Gumout Regane. Carbon makes engines harder to start, especially in the cold. A clean engine will start and run in the cold the way it was designed to. PEA won't work very fast in the winter and there's no...

A relative just saw his show. Be sure to wear dirtable cloths. If they aren't dirty when you arrive, they will be when you leave.

The whacked out calculation for MPG of gasoline only is used in CAFE standards. The window sticker still shows the MPG calculated correctly.

The impact is less likely to shear because it does not get tired when underused for a long time. A breaker bar operator will grow tired after a few minutes and push too hard. Many stuck fasteners can be removed with impacts by pulling the trigger part way for a long time. The rapping stresses...

There's nothing special about the moon cut in the stud. Add your own with a grinder if it would help. I've also ground away a bit of the spindle casing to make studs fit. Choose a spot that does not substantially weaken the spindle casing.

TSC supplies SAE fasteners in bulk. Cars are all metric. If they would supply metric fasteners at that price they'd be golden.
