Varta automotive batteries, at least the brand name, is now owned by Clarios.

In looking at the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) it appears that Rislone Engine Treatment is little more than ZDDP (also known as Zinc diakyldithiophophates - which is a "mixture" of zinc containing compounds that are soluble in nonpolar solvents such as oils) and petroleum based ingredients. In...

You could be right. I was just relying on old memories. I just remember that whenever we saw single cans (usually after running a forklift through the bottom layer of a pallet of oil cases or just flat out dropping a case while moving pallets around) they were typically metal cans. Those of...

Based on my having worked for a Pennzoil distributor (we also sold most every other brand as well) in the 1974 - 1976 time period, when the switch from metal to paper cans began, I would say we started seeing the paper Mobil cans late in 1974 or early in 1975. I also remember when Pennzoil...

If you want to add something to the fuel in order to clean the fuel system, use Berryman B-12. As far as any "tune up in a can" goes, there really is no such thing. More than likely, cleaning the fuel system of varnish, dirt and other crud is what restores power, etc.

My question is what happens when off-peak electrical demand exceeds off-peak capacity and approaches peak capacity?

Paul Simon's You Can Call Me Al with Chevy Chase. I love the simplicity!

Nope!

You are not giving yourself enough credit on your soldering abilities! On that burned terminal/circuit board trace, you might want to rub off some of the protective coating over the trace to expose some shiny copper near the relay terminal and apply some solder there and bridge it to the...

Sometimes the polymeric end of the needle in the fuel bowl will swell over time and get stuck in the seat. Hence, I keep a carb rebuild kit or a spare needle and seat on hand for this reason. While the polymers are resistant to fuel infusion, over time I believe they develop microscopic...

My aunt with Alzheimer's went into hospice about 5 months before she passed. The facility she was in tried pressuring me to use their preferred hospice provider, AseraCare, but I insisted on using the Volunteer Nurses of America (VNA) hospice service even as they threatened to discharge her to...
