    Fatal explosion when replacing fuel pump

    Thanks for sharing. A good reminder, Notice How often you see someone pumping gas these day with the vehicle running, especially...99.99% of the time it isn't an issue, unless there is a fuel spill.

    Yes, When finished using wipe off the nozzle, wrap the nozzle with a small piece of duct tape extending about an 1/2" past the end and pinch it tight. Place the tube(s) in a ZipLock bag.

    Alternative to Unaffordable New SUV?

    I recently got out of the expensive SUV/pick-up gig and also have a boat, bought a three year old sedan and pay a marina $40 to put launch my boat in the spring and $40 to take it out in the fall. I know sedans are not "popular" these days but they are less than half the cost and get more than...

    2017 Honda CR-V, Castrol Magnatec 0w-20, 3450 mi OCI, 1.5 liter T

    Originally Posted by Imp4 Hey OP, yes you have fuel in your oil. While it's generally not desirable, can you state the specific problem that it is causing? I agree, less than 4% seems to be typical for these GDI engines...although the Honda 1.5l can be much worse. I own a 2018 CRV, purchased...

    Interesting, I did my 2016 Accord CVT fluid last summer at 30k miles...I thought the fluid looked good. I used the Honda HCF-2 fluid as well.

    Michelin Premier LTX Different Tread

    Personally I like the Michelin Defender LTX, this is the next generation of the old MS2 LTX....I live in the snow belt area of northern Michigan and have had these on several vehicles, and IMO they have been great. They are NOT snow tires...

    The RV industry has a similar gig called RV Warranty Forever®...through Camping World I believe. As others have mentioned you need to do the recommended service, and what exactly does "forever" mean???

    Old ammo still ok to use?

    This is how the guy who does my reloading delivers the cartridges, there is a seal between each cartridge. I suspect thus is a bit of an overkill? But hey, this is BITOG!

    2018 CRV, CVT fluid drain interval

    I have a 2018 CRV, comes up on the MM at 30K. If you change your own oil this task is no more difficult than an oil change. Get (4) qts, end up using around 3.8 or so. I plan on doing it every 30K, remember you are exchanging like half of the fluid...not doing a total drain.

    Are the new CR-V's really that terrible?

    We own a 2018 EX-L AWD with the 1.5l, purchased new and currently have about 23K miles on it. My wife mostly drive it and really likes it...quiet, the ride, the handling. Friends who have ridden in it ditto the same thoughts. Yes it is a fuel diluter, even though we do no do any short...

    I live in the NW Michigan snow belt region and have been looking for tires as well. Not interested in doing the separate rims with winter tires, IMO if you don't drive like an idiot the all seasons seem OK...and don't like running snows on the expressway going down state at 80mph on dry...
