The treatment recipe is 1 gal of anti-gel to 2500 gallons of fuel, so its about an ounce to 20 gallons.

So, I am being gifted some anti-gel that fuel-delivery companies pour into tanks at gas stations. Its considerably more concentrated/treats more gallons than anything you buy in the store. I figure I could put an ounce or less of it into a quart of 2-stroke and still be ok if treating fuel as if...

Been off the board for quite some time now, but was here long enough to discern what I felt really mattered in vehicle lubrication. Felt I could contribute my experience. Bought my 2008 Pontiac grand prix at the end of 2008 with ~20,000 miles. Crankcase: For the first three years, I used...

Did the job last night. I went to the AZ again and they still did not have the ball joint press; For everyones benefit, the puller thing wasn't so hot. so it was up to basically just a hammer, sockets, a couple pieces of wood, and the ground. After dickering with the puller for awhile, I just...

Agreed. I have actually used the autozone kit to do both a U joint and a ball joint - The availability is the issue - I live in the sticks. I'm just wondering about the puller.

So i have to replace the u joints on my 97 F150 - Couple of questions- I have a 5 ton 2 jaw puller that I intend to use to press in/out the caps (with an appropriate socket used on the end to drive evenly). Is there any reason that this would not be appropriate? I know that many people use a...

Is there any reason to believe that Rotella 5w-40 would not be a great all season oil for my Husqvarna B&S mower that specs SAE 30? If so, I'm thinking I will also use it in my next f-150 OCI. 2 gal would do the trick for both perfectly.

Just bought a new husqvarna with a 26 horse brings. The manual says 25 hours

Ok, I have a hand me down huskee lawn mower with a 17.5 HP B&S intek I/C. If i am mowing on a steep-ish angle, "passenger side" down, I get a [censored] load of smoke and a stalled lawn mower - I assume this is oil burning. If i avoid this situation, in effect by keeping extreme angles to the...

I think, for everyone's sake, we should just abandon this post immediately...

Just curious, what is the % makeup of foreign/domestic out there? Not surprisingly, We are mostly domestic here, and that's been my experience for most of flyoverland.
