We don't normally run out of hot water so recovery time is a no issue for us but it would not be anything like gas I wouldn't think. If I had already had gas run to the house I think I would have gone gas but my choosing the Marathon was a decision based on a few things,,, #1 the fact my...

IMO, Changing from Gas to electric would be a hard choice, all dependent on your local area. My hometown area ( only 150 miles from home now ) the electric was purchased and resold by the City and was one of the most expensive $ per kWh in my State so everyone used Natural Gas HVAC and hot...

OVERKILL said in his 1st Post he has a 220V circuit in case he ever put an electric water heater in?

My tank is about 4-5 years old,,, No problems at all... I love it! Marathon water heaters do not require an anode rod. They are designed with a seamless, blow-molded polybutene inner tank that is impervious to rust and corrosion, eliminating the need for an anode rod to prevent tank corrosion...

My story... A few years back my old (1996) 80 gal electric hot water heater started doing whats yours is doing so I called to get some quotes. I was given many suggestions from the tankless ( My Main Panel box is limited so $$$ to upgrade power ) I considered tankless Natural Gas ( my house...

Years ago ( like 20+ years ago ) My old bike shop ( now long closed ) in Charlotte NC and I I think I also had that huge late 90's Custom Chrome book Before Internet, (anyone remember those wonderful days?) but I loved REVTECH products sold via Custom Chrome. From the huge 10 mm spark plug wires...

I was able to pick up a WIX 51215 at my local O'Reilly auto parts store ( he had one in the back) I took some pics, It looks like the S&S I have except the S&S has a much thicker gasket... I was under the understanding the Wix 51215 WAS made in Gastonia NC but is now Mexico, I found some pic of...

Yes, Dry sump separate oil tank...

In a nutshell because my old bike engine is from 3 engine generations ago and uses a lower pressure oiling system. When Harley redesigned the oil filters for the newer engines it stopped producing the type oil filter my bike always uses. The new filters has drain back valve ( mine did not ) and...

My research is suggesting the WIX 51215 is no longer made in Gastonia NC USA but Mexico and perhaps China as the NAPA is China but Napa may no longer be made by Wix,,, I have deep personal ties to Gastonia NC and just can't do it! Shame as I was such a fan of WIX and the proud North Carolina...

Okay, I have been in-touch with S&S this morning. I don't have much info as I can't find any specs about this filter from S&S except its listed as a 30 micron filter and the rep I talked with thinks its made by WIX and it fits my 1997 Harley Heritage softail 1340 engine. This filter has worked...

I have a old 1997 Harley with the 1340 Evo engine I purchased new 28 years ago. Understanding the older bike likes the 30 micron filter and the new bikes the 5 micron I started using this S&S Oil filter about 10 years ago and have had great luck as this is one of the few folters with a 30...

Yea, I remember the PeP Boys! As a young driver of 16, I would spend hours reading all the bottles of go fast engine Snake Oil, And I would buy my Rain Dance paste wax! That stuff would last a long time on a car! And a bottle of Turtle Wax Vinyl to wax! Yes my first car has a Vinyl top! And...

I understand some folks suggest using motor oil with Zinc could harm a CAT and in theory one may think Marvel and Cats may not play well together but lets face it, engines with cats do at times burn a bit of oil, heck I had a 50K mile Crown Vic that shot out blue smoke at every start up ( valve...

Keep in mind that was like 27 years ago so who know if the blue gas 27 years ago was the same as now? IDK?

Good question as I could not figure out why race gas was a problem... All I know this was about 1998 on my 1997 Evo, My local Sunoco added a Race Gas pump. It was blue gas and my memory fades but was 101 , 103 107 1 0 something, I cant remember exactly. I ran one tank pure race gas no...

I LOVE a Sadan and YES we all know the general public all want a SUV! I guess thats why FORD stopped making cars ( except Mustang ) But you got Honda and Toyota having zero problems selling those Accords and Camry! I will always love a trunk I can keep stuff out of view and I just like the...

I know this is a old post but I wanted to report in anyway if may help someone considering MMO. I damaged my 1997 Harley Pingel gas turn-off ( petcock ), Yje petcock o-ring I guess swelled as it was stuck between on and off! I could not move it! I damed my stock carb, looked like rubber seals...

As far as back seat space understand its classified as a mid-size car, Its NOT a SUV and its NOT a Crown Vic like my other Ford Full-Size car. I found the rear seats to be in the same family as other mid-size cars. You can online research and car specs will show you back seat legroom etc for...

Purchased a Used (REPO) 2017 Ford Fusion in 2017 Se with the 2.0 Turbo. The car only had 500 miles on it! Got a great deal! Last year 2024 I gave the car to my daughter, she is still at home in school ( I'm Dad so I still maintain it ) I have owned and own many cars and trucks and the 2.0...
