  1. Some oil is better than no oil. I used 90W gear oil because it was the only OIL I could get where I was at. That was used oil that they dump on dirt roads to keep the dust down. Beggars can't be choosers. Middle of nowhere was the road crew. It stunk but got me another 500 miles to a town.

  2. Did you check the RATE OF galvanic corrosion? You will be dead 5 times over before it "might" be a concern. (Like in aircraft.) VW & Vega & Asian cars & motorcycles (& others) use aluminum and steel interchangeably, Like it is not a Concern even if you have the machine for +40 years.

  3. That is common with "red". On red painted cars, red goes to hell sooner cuz of the sun. Merc. trucks were always red, which soon became chalky red and faded red over the years. The UV additive to the paint still does not help on red, it has something to do with the light ray spectrum from the sun. Science stuff. Painters know some schit.

  4. I figured the trimmer line wore out too quickly, so I have an acoustic guitar so used the G string from a steel wire guitar. Definitely was SAVAGE. Tougher than any weed or tree or bare feet or unprotected leg. I am experimenting for myself. Had to manually cut to length with wire cutters.

  5. I use regular dino oil. It has improved since the 70's so all my cars lasted as long as "I WANTED THEM" Of course there was the natural oil burners but I knew that before I bought them (British Leyland Motors) and there was a way to reduce the oil consumption by using thicker oil was the usual trick. Engine was not worth rebuilding so just checked the oil level daily as it also leaked. After 3 to 5 years it was time to change to another used car. Buy for a couple hundred and sell for a couple of hundred(fixing I did myself so never calculated the cost of my time or parts into it) , My 07 Honda has a mileage minder as to when to change the oil which seems to be close to 6000miles. I change the oil filter too because it is cheap. Don't care. Use Wally's recycled oil product because it is cheap.

  7.  @poeticsilence047  Initially when that claim came out, I was breaking my 1/2" drive ratchet (breaking off the square drive) Twice. They handed me a repair kit for it and I disassembled it and replaced the broken parts. Then used the 4 foot iron cheater pipe on the wrench handle to get the nut off on suspension. Did not have an impact driver or "heat"(which would have been the way to go)

  10. Check out "BOLTR" or "AVE" on YT Different guy different tests different stuff & he has a hell of a lot of knowledge. His language may be harsh(I call normal) so he also does not have sponsors nor does he flucking care. You never see him as he is not promoting him. He checks out new electrical equipment.

  13.  @equsnarnd  Opioids is a petrochemical drug. China supplies Opium, some-thing they grow - totally unrelated drug. Do some research and you will know most medications made is from petro-chemists...so home made. Cocaine comes from cacao plant in South America and Marijuana is a weed that can be dried and smoked, (not unlike tobacco or another weed) The government disallows Marijuana because they are unable to tax something everybody can grow in their garden.

  14. mixing Hydrochloric acid with sulfuric acid and you get an acid(aqua regis) that dissolves GOLD. Pretty sure that is not what is clogging your plumbing. So hard on the Gold toilet finish.

  16. If the engine is running, why should it be clean? Does it even matter?Seems the build up of Carbon increases the compression which is what we are shooting for and carbon is a lubricant similar to graphite or soot...so no harm there.Where is there a need for the insides to be clean? I don't plan to eat off the surface. Maybe you should FIRST EXPLAIN "WHY" you need to get the carbon off. It does not seem to be an issue with the engine designers. ,Are the makers of the product "CREATING AN IMAGINED PROBLEM?" to sell the product?

  17.  @MrMasahhh  That's easy. The bolt hole that strips is on the outer edge(of course) where no meat can be added as the piece is a certain size...to fit into a certain size location. Sometimes it is "JUST THAT WAY." Such as on aluminum oil pans. A small square of steel is inserted in the factory under 40,000lbs pressure(lets just say "A Lot of pressure" and the part fit is that tight that oil does not leak past. The insert May be no larger than the copper washer that goes between the steel oil plug and the engine. Copper is reusable, rubber gaskets use only once.(sometimes the washer metal is aluminum(which is also soft & found on Asian cars/motorcycles...is also reusable. Choice is used the product or buy a new oil pan (or engine) One is cheaper. If it is an oil plug, usually they "you" cross threaded them in instead of starting it by hand and screw it all the way down by hand BEFORE USING A TOOL. The chemical ones are certainly good enough for an oil drain plug...those that have some resistance. No need to reef on it to break the 5/8" bolt. . If it is a head bolt ? I would question the strength of that but on a gas car it is probably no more than 150pounds of torque(on average)or an exhaust bolt (35lbs of torque) into the head then you want to helicoil it. Price out the cost of a new head. <You will go heli coil insert and have a machine shop do it>.

  18.  @Panthers89Fan9000000  "Small engines always use/used carburetors. Small engines need repair more frequently because they use carburetors." Introducing VW 1972 Fuel Injection gasoline 1600cc 4 cylinder. Before them were diesel engines 4 cylinders or 2 cylinder in FARM EQUIPMENT that only worked with non turbo Fuel Injection. I had a 1980VW Diesel Rabbit that I clocked a Million miles and it still ran just fine. Small engines just mean a smaller car. Many European cars are diesel. Peugeot was always diesel. Mercedes is mainly diesel. . As for Ethanol - the gas companies had to get the LEAD out so they need a replacement for Lead so the fuel burns evenly. Ethanol increased the octane and provided an even clean burn (instead of engine knock from preignition)-smaller engine owners try to increase their horsepower by increasing the compression ratio meaning they break down sooner. I don't mess with that cuz I don't care about high performance - otherwise I would have bought a race car (but it is useless at work so got a practical car instead. One that can go "Off road" as well as being on road...and really off the off road (goat trails or I imagine I can fit through there) in the woods on road that were in active use 70+ years ago but now it is overgrown with small trees that scratch the bottom of the car like a belly rub. I never had a problem with carburetors. Easier to get a car to start when you can pour a cup of gas down the carb and fire it up. Only sat for a few years abandoned. Fuel injection =where do I put the fuel to jump start the pig? Never had to do that YET because no vehicle near me that has been abandoned...and old and FREE to fruck with. I have been driving small cars since 1967 so fiddling with them since '67(it is my car to experiment with). Can I fix cars-the old ones yes & the newer ones not so much. Gas or diesel, small engine or Caterpillar bulldozer diesels. I-L4,chainsaws,pancake4,motorcycles 2 stroke,4 stroke I-L6, I-L8, V6 & V8 through PRACTICAL HANDS ON EXPERIENCE. No papers. Don't care. I know when the mechanic is full of B.S. in his assessment to the problem. Some are real wankers. Should try to be politicians. They know just as much.

  22. The only problem I had with that "test" is that you did not know the Grade of the Vintage oil (which I would assume to be 30W30) That is what cars used in those days...no multigrades, no detergents. Then you compared it to modern oil with a weight of 10W40? Of course the 10W is going to be first down the race track. You still can buy "30W straight" motor oil. w/o detergents. Compare apples to apples. The green colorant is something the manufacturers put in the oil so you can see it on the dipstick. Has no other meaning. Quaker did it maybe to go with the color scheme on the can? Other old oil brands didn't spend the money to do that. Been driving since the 50's and doing my own oil changes using various brands - QS, Shell, Sears, or other brands on sale. Multi grade did not exist yet so it was 30 for summer use and 20 for winter use cuz I am in Alaska.

  23. My pliers are made in England. Never broke the handle. Was cutting concrete nails on a dulled edge . Pliers were in a vise by the same company. The tool was meant for copper or aluminum wire not cutting nails. Still got it over 40+ years.

  24. Why is it 2 have 2 different bolts? When I buy a box of bolts the thread count is the same. Yet you show a coarse bolt with 16 threads and compare it to a bolt that is a fine thread with 24. <The acid wash really did some damage.> you are confusing the issue...and test. In the test you do not use motor oil which is in the oil can that I refill. Brake fluid is less available than auto transmission fluid or engine oil (2 stroke or 4 stroke). Then again I may have diesel or kerosene around to use as a lubricating liquid. My mom uses cooking oil...because that is what she commonly has available in the kitchen to lube hinges or electric analog clocks that make noise. Yes it attracts flies that go inside to feed on the oil and they become part of the Lube. 120Volt Clock still works after 66 years and not lose a second. I am not going to go out and buy a lube when something else will do. I suspect the best anti rust ones have silicone in them. . strange you don't have snake oil..

  25. Why flush out perfectly good lubricant.? If anything the next time you do a hot oil change most of the bacon grease will come out. It looks as though the 2 types of oils will work together. Just stop at McDonalds and ask for some old cooking oil.

  26. My machinist friend never uses a drill bit right out of the box. 50+years experience. He grinds them sharper...because factory sharpening IS A JOKE. The machinist drills through tons of metal so he knows how to hand sharpen the drill on the grindstone. No specific make. I learned how to do it once in school - have forgotten that talent and always have one flute edge cutting more than the other. When you had to add more weight, I could see the point was not cutting anymore...so the drills are dull. Most of my drill bits cut into wood okay and even aluminum or copper. Steel is marginal.

  27. Now try STP oil treatment. The stuff is as thick as honey. As Kerosene is the winter fuel for diesel I figure the lubricity is going to be about the same as diesel.

  28. I noticed that was a Fed-alloy grade bolt you were threading into the cut threads to see the slop. Maybe should have done a measure on a "Fed" nut(made in a factory) for the bolt to see how much play there was there in the stock NUT "fit". I mean the entire test is to be as close to the factory nut threads, right? So what is that slop fit? So we know what to shoot for and what is acceptable. The more bite the better. The 2 different thread cuts cannot be compared as the 24 is a finer thread compared to a coarse thread of 18. . What do machinists actually use? I know their "slop" is almost nothing.

  30. When I wore my steel toe boots on a job - of course the object that fell down missed the steel toe and went into my foot at about at the place he was cutting them apart. Like the steel toe "could be" longer and thicker. They are not walking shoes, so there is no need for flex behind the toes. Build them stiff like downhill ski boots, we workers still can walk in them. Still have the punctured boots(just siliconed the hole where it went through (like what is the chance I will hit that spot a second time?) - now that I am paying attention and "thinking about possible injury"?

  35.  @02hreblue30  Way, way, way, older than Dinosaurs. The plants grew on the land first. Forests grew up and died and fell over and it was repeated time and time again BEFORE ANYTHING LIVING MADE IT ONTO THE SHORE to feed on the greens. The greens which have lived and died and fallen over into swamp water to compost into a hydro CARBON. Then the mountains moved over the land and covered some of these swamps or inland seas under hundreds of feet of rock and time and earth heat and fermentation made either oil or coal. We have proved that as we have made it in the laboratory. using heat and extreme pressure. We just have no device to change time. .What do you think synthetic oil is made from? Basically the same oil. The Germans made the first synthetic oil as they had no oil, but they had coal oil and vegetable oil and animal fats so they worked with what they had to produce the oil and fuel to keep machines running during WW2.

  36. Made in the U.S. from global ingredients tells me it comes from every-where. However you are comparing apples and oranges when you are comparing different chemicals . One said alkyd enamel. Others do not say what they are for a chemical paint. I use tar. or undercoating. Making sure it is NOT LATEX(waterbased paint). -the logic to apply a waterbased paint to metal escapes me. Is not TREMCLAD sold in the U.S.? That is the go to rust paint that is NOT WATER BASED.

  37. RECORD was my vise name(made in England) Was a 4" vise. I used a 4 foot cheater bar on the handle to hold the part. It broke the vise. Could not dent it. Super well made. I bought a 5" Harbor freight one & broke the replaceable jaw where the screw is on one side so had to glue the jaw back on. It will do. Definitely cannot beat on the jaw like I could the "Record" which was smaller and 40 years old.

  38. Yeah BUT what about the torque wrenches that have a needle and no ratchet head? They were $50 in the day. Click wrench was not available YET. I bought my Craftsman wrenches in the 70's? Wheel bolts are armstrong tight. Steel on Steel. Certainly have used the torque wrench for head bolts on diesel engines or inch/lbs on motorcycle engines. Have not done 1000 torques nor planning on it before I hit the casket. Nor do I keep count. The way I understand it, torque wrenches are NOT ACCURATE AT THE MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM points. & 50 is like at the Minimum measurement. Which is why I have an inch/lb torque wrench. This is basically a hand wrench tightness...so not highly critical. I believe the 250lb(too lazy to check) would be maxing out my foot pound torque wrench so again I would NOT USE IT.

  39. How hard are 3 ir 4" concrete nails ---the nails that take a sledge hammer blow to be driven into a concrete wall or floor? They are cheaper than cutting through tools. Really quite hard to even cut through with a hack saw. Usually ruin the saw blade. & yeah I do take them to the break the handle event as I put on cheater pipes onto the handles But if it is that hard I would use a hacksaw or a oxy/acetylene cutting torch. Which one was the German one? You failed to mention that. I heard China,China,China, Japan, none from India...interesting.

  42. In my short experience with it, I found Gorilla glue would bond steel to paint or to rubber. LePage 2 component epoxy could not do that and that was the only other one I tried. . I was using the Gorilla glue that expands, but I put on a thin layer of glue (about the thickness of a layer of paint) onto the metal molding for my car so it just had to hold that chrome metal on a curved fender near the headlight on a '65 MGB. I did not need it (or wanted it) to foam. It held to paint and to rubber and other surfaces that normally are not glued together. Clips or rivets hold it in place.(before doublesided sticky tape) Strength not required. It was a convenient epoxy and lasted a "year" in the container without going hard. Keeping it dark and cool helped so I could use it later as it is pricey stuff.

  46. Stud finder behind drywall can be done with a hammer and listening to the wall tone. How do these machines compare when trying to find behind plastered walls? Lathe, 1/2" concrete+ 1/2" plaster ( like done in older 40's style homes.?) Most reno's are done on older homes of the plastered generation.

  47. This is very similar to the Pogue carburetor design for cars. Thinking in terms of vapor. You should have inspected the spark plug. It would have gone white if fuel is too lean.

  49. I remember ATF added to motor oil to rejuvenate the rubber rear seal on the crankshaft was the story going around. Nothing about cleaning up the carbon. Just give it a long hard drive uphill in both directions, same motor oil than you normally use.. When you said ATF has mineral oil in it?, you can get mineral oil from the local drug store. It is taken for constipation...so can be mixed with water. Used as a lubricant in an engine? I don't think it goes with gasoline.

  50. HHO or when written in Chemistry H2O aka water. What is missing is the OH(alcohol) or HOOH(aka ethanol) Why not try a tank of compressed H2 gas instead of the mickey mouse toy? See if adding additional Hydrogen is better than compressed Oxygen gas. Pure Hydrogen does not burn. Oxygen does, so you need a welding torch tip with spark arrestor built in so does not ignite the tank and TEST IT. It can be done. Then this insanity can be put to bed.

  51. I got a "space saver" tire for Honda. My GF got a 2010 Honda and it came with a tire repair kit (that I imagine was the same as expandable foam) No air required. Just use can and drive it so the foam is spread around the inside of the tire. Have you checked out the expanding foam tire repair in a can. No air compressor needed?

  55. Electrolysis was never meant to remove rust. Electroplating shops clean the pieces by wire brush, wheel, sandblast and sandpaper or acids so that the metal looks like brand new BEFORE THEY PLATE IT WITH Copper, chromium, brass, zinc, or other metal....which is a layer added to the piece...taken from the sacrificial metal. Iron oxide(rust)does not conduct electricity. You were basically plating over the rust with the sacrificial metal. I used to do it using a 12 volt transformer and copper pennies and plate the other metal or graphite coated plastic or wood in toilet cleaner H2SO4(sulfuric acid). Kids burn out their racing car set transformer 12DC to do this experiment. Sacrificial metal was the penny to thinly plate the surface. Penny got thinner as it slowly dissolved giving up the copper atoms to be transferred to the other side. It worked. Done like +40 years ago.

  56. I thought LePage glue was a big brand name. I heard of it and used it before I heard of Elmer's Even no name brand white carpenter glue I heard of before and used before I heard of Elmer's. They basically all smell the same and dry the same and taste the same. . I saw an issue with using a chainsaw to cut a post . There is "CHAIN OIL" on the chain so that oil would contaminate the wood surface.

  57. I bought NGK because they were more reliable to WORK compared TO Champion(which many times were dead out of the box or died with only 100 miles on them in my 2 stroke motorcycle.

  63. You can tell right from the start of the drilling when it takes out little chunks(that is dull) when it bites and takes out a large coil of metal (like a hot knife through butter) or really sharp and correct angle at the tip. It is a skill. You got to be able to hand sharpen the bits on a grind stone. the second bit you sharpened- I could see the tip was not sharp. You need to have an edge at the tip of the flutes. Me, I normally get one edge to cut and the other side rides.(no cutting)

  65. I would add a bit of water to the gas with the sugar to dissolve the sugar. Water is in gas at the gas station so it is in the tank. So, I was disappointed you did not do some $10,000 drag racing motor you know for that cool effect especially if it did mess up. . Hope you will try it with Antifreeze next as glycol is the same as sugar.

The 2 stroke motor is not outlawed in California, otherwise that would kill weed wackers, chainsaws, mopeds, 2 stroke motorcycles, also older 4 stroke Nissan cars(aka Datsun), old high mileage Fords, Chevs, Dodges, and any other car or truck...that burns oil. Besides after the break in period which may be a couple of tanks then the fuel mixture is with less oil which is normal with all 2 stroke engines(and even 4 stroke engines)

Should really use heat to take off the nuts...instead of wrecking tools. I say that and never do that.

  77. You failed to mention which were the German brand, which were U.S. made. I know Snap On is U.S. made because they cost A LOT and failed early "Snap OFF" is the shop name for them. Knipex is half the cost of the Snap Off. The Snap On tool was a rip off,selling their name rather than a quality tool. . For a "WIRE CUTTER" all tools passed. Maybe test a NAIL CUTTER IF YOU WANT TO CUT NAILS (it was a strange test considering most wire is copper or aluminum unless you are talking wire fencing then they use a totally different cutter for that because it is ARMSTRONG STRENGTH...no one is going to squeeze 1000lbs with their hands on diagonal hand cutters. If they squeeze 100 they would be lucky. So I slip on cheater pipe extensions onto the handles as the Tool get duller. It would be nice if I could file them sharp again(sometimes a hand files is just lying around)

  85. I worked at a truck stop and tire repair was one of those things I would do. I was given the impression these would hold until the next town. None of your brand name plug kits you have shown, just generic rubber cement and rubber inserts. We did not have the ability to remove a tire. A proper fix is to go to a tire store and they would remove the tire and glue in a flat patch on the inside of the tire. I have been punctured twice. Both by the short screwdriver bit that comes from the multi tipped screwdriver. I have seen trucks get pierced by steel bolts 1/2" and 3/4". Not pluggable. Need a new tire. I have blown out the sidewall on a tire (only a spare tire can fix that, so it is short sighted of manufacturers not to include a spare tire in the spare tire cubby(not the space saver tire either as the cubby is too small to take the now flat regular tire) which of course happens on a muddy road at night in the rain it seems.

  86. Concrete in a bucket is NOT THE SAME HARDNESS AS a floor that has been Power troweled. Much harder is the floor. Also when you drill into concrete walls you may hit a granite rock which if the rock is big enough will stop the bits from going deeper. If you hit rebar in the concrete, it too is like the granite rock. Just saying, drilling in concrete floors is a lot of luck that you drill in ONLY concrete.

  87. The trouble is: the modern cars of today do not have enough height for a floor jack. I got to raise the car 3"(by driving on TWO 2x6 set up as a ramp(as metal ramp will not fit under either) Honda. <compared to my former car VW Beetle> Once I am up 3 inches then the floor jack will sit under the lower control arm near wheel. Now, I can remove tire while on floor jack. That is a tire full of air, so a flat tire will be a problem. Designers never think that tires ever get flats. Body jacks are a cruel joke.

  88.  @rotsdogdogkitty1150  You were riding what is called a motorcycle(also classed as a motor vehicle). Not allowed to ride on the sidewalk with a motor vehicle. Also if you ride a motor vehicle - you NEED A LICENSE and Insurance and it needs to be registered and plated like it was a MOTORCYCLE. . A moped has to be "UNDER 50cc and can not go faster than 29 MPH." It is also not suppose to use the sidewalks. A moped is a motor assisted "pedal cycle". So it aids you to go up hills, as you can also pedal to help the motor to climb the hill. Generally speaking it is meant to be driven on the road(not the bicycle lane)(but sometimes you can get away with that if there is no bicycles on that section)...but never to be driven on the highway. It is more an in the neighborhood type bike...like adult communities or that tight of neighborhood. . Definitely not something I would want to drive a far distance. For that, I would get a motorcycle-400cc size. . Yeah, helmet rules apply as also being on the main road. $2000? I can see that. I definitely would not ride a tiny toy like that around on the roadways. A passing vehicle can "blow you off" the road as they are so light. Now you know. . Obviously you did not read the operators manual at your local DMV as you would have found all this out. 2 stroke, 4 stroke, rotary, Electric powered It is all the same in the eyes of the cop and the courts.

  90.  @AKGirthQuake  Greyhound did it too especially around Xmas when no liquids were to be shipped (so much wine, whiskey, rum was broken as we tossed the boxes into the storage room.) That one was packed quite well. I would have changed the coffee tin for an iron pipe to handle the drop tests that do happen from 15 feet.

  91. I was hoping you would try TUK TAPE. That adhesive is so strong that it almost removes your fingerprints off of your fingers. I does not have the same strength as Gorilla tape or those with a fabric backing as it is closer to Packing tape (clear plastic Scotch tape) However, it beats the rest for STICKING AND IS IMPERMIABLE . So would hold up to the underwater tests= NO PROBLEM be it Red or Green. Check it out. At Home Depot or any other Building supply store. There is a white brand that is not "TUK TAPE" so lower class of glue. Hot or cold or wet the finger tips, the tape still stuck like crazy. As I would wet my fingers thinking the tape would not stick so hard...it did not make a difference. This could hold the ceramic tiles on the Shuttle. Space Age adhesive. As for leaving residue behind...this tape will take off the painted surface leaving nothing behind. So nasty. Not the narrow stuff. Get the2 or 3 inch wide roll that is used in construction. The stuff the width of Scotch tape, I don't think it is the same stuff.

  92. Well, something is different between "the length of time on natural rusting" and your quick corrosion testing. I had wheel nuts on an axle still under a hubcap that was left outside for a few years. I also had one wheel without the hubcap same age same exposure time. The wheel nuts came off of the wheel that did not have the hubcap. The ones under the hubcap? I was using a good quality X bar and onto the X bar I slipped on a 4 foot cast iron cheater pipe. The nuts never loosened. so I snapped the wheel studs GMC. I really should have used heat but had no torch so broke off 2 wheel studs (probably on for 5 years) the others would also give me the same problem I am guessing so am going to look for some heat (under a hubcap was more problematic than totally exposed to the rain and snow.) No torque wrench needed. I can lift 100lbs dead weight x leverage of 4 foot pipe breaks wheel studs. I can't do the math because I don't know the mathematical formula...but it is definitely different than surface rust. Wheel nuts are normally screwed on dry for vehicle wheels.

  94.  @kbh8181  And yet you probably eat Chinese food just to get "regular". Not all stuff is Chinese junk. Europeans were happy with the GUNPOWDER(discovered or invented in China FIRST)or Chinese fireworks or Chinese medicine using very fine needles.(acupuncture) when chemical drugs don't work. China has been to the moon. So if Russia was there first, then the U.S., then China. They went into the Dark side of the Moon. Besides the computer you are using probably has Chinese parts in it....like it is in your car braking system.

  97. Yeah, well. I don't cut 1 2x4 in a day building a house. So 30 or 50 boards. 120V electricity beat a battery because I am not going to haul around a bag of batteries. They have their place though a manual sharp handsaw or chisel does the same job. I really wonder why manufacturers did not invent an electric drill with gears.(Low speed /mid speed/ high speed)so the motor rotates fast to keep it cool and still provides that torque that battery drills have.

  99. So; I could buy 3 KNOCK OFF'S and have change left over for 1 name brand one? They are not knock off's otherwise the tool would have a name on it like "Makeeta"-that is considered a knock off as they are trying to fool you with the Name too(close but not quite) Considering the drill will spend most of its life in a tool drawer(not doing any work) I will buy 2 KO and buy beer with the other $70. Besides if "Eddie" gets PERMANENTLY "borrowed by some dude" it is not a great loss. It did OK. The KO battery - was NOT the same battery shoe as the Makita, @1:47 . I noticed that the manufacturer's are not making the battery shoes universal so that means buy their brand because no other brand will fit(which means chargers are different) . Not like the good old days where 120V AC plug is a Universal plug for all drill types.

  101.  @Cole_42  Diesels(anything after 1950) have Glow plugs, so there would be pre ignition knocking before the piston reached TDC hammering the piston backwards. It basically destroys the engine. Those up north mix some gas in with diesel, but if it is 50/50, yah, that motor is toast. Very expensive lesson. Up north the gas stations get kerosene in their diesel tanks(their location says when they get it automatically. They never change the diesel signage. Kero is the fuel for diesel engines. Kero is also the fuel used in high flying jet engine as the air temp is -40F because the fuel does not jell up in the fuel lines or in the tanks. Power output is about the same.

  102. Nope. A machinist would FIRST sharpen the drill bit. Those that needed more weight, were already dull on the point edge "it has a specific name and a specific angle. Forgotten over the years. Most of my twist bits are decent for copper, aluminum, brass, lead wood, plastic & soft fudgsicle.

  103. Am not project farm but AFAIK Bicycle tires are tube tires so you have to remove the tire off the rim and do the patch to the tube proper. Some cars (wire wheels like Jaguar and MGB) are also tube tires so tire needs to be fixed like a bike tire. Same for motorcycle with wire spokes. Experienced with them. As you can tell, old bikes with wire spokes. Never had a solid rim bike so don't know whether they be tubeless or not. JMTC

  104. Considering you are burning a hydrocarbon, I would expect there to be carbon in there. Running at a fast speed kept the carbon amount low. I would NOT use either product in my car.

  105. One reason I liked the Gorilla Glue is its stickability anything to anything and no 2 component mixing. I was using the Gorilla glue(that expands) though I did not need it to expand so used a thin layer of it to glue metal molding to the paint job of a car.

  106. Being a painter I know about Turps. How about Varsol (as the oil industry gets that out of the ground and it works like Terpentine with a lot less stink? If you can't find Varsol, odorless paint thinner is basically the same thing with less odor. than Varsol.

  107. So me being a student with a 2 stroke Motorcycle (low pay) means I am buying the non synthetic stuff because of the price point $3 vs $13. Wear happens and no motorcycle will last forever(both oils allowed for wear). However that Beer I RENTED- sure tastes good.

  108. Huh. Now about oil filters. Is FRAM bad or are other companies just wanting to hurt the company because they can thru negative publicity?

  109. Paint thinner aka varsol is the petroleum derivative(same place as gasoline comes from)has a lower flash point than gasoline. Paint thinner aka turpentine is a plant derivative that stinks more than varsol but works like varsol has even a lower flash point than varsol. Lacquer thinner is a different chemical again and has a higher flash point than varsol but still lower than gasoline and is used for Lacquer paints only. Methyl Hydrate is wood alcohol which is like Everclear(only poisonous), so it would work the same as the grain alcohol.; mh is used to thin Shellac. That is all the paint thinners a painter uses. Gasoline has the biggest bang for the buck. Painter

  110. I use the saw in the forest SO no electrical outlets. Gas power is the only way to go. Stihl18" When you look at the price comparisons gas is stihl the winner. Most of the upkeep is sharpening the chain. - and the cost for ear protection. If you are trying to break into a building through the front door, then go with the electric. Silence is necessary.
