    http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_11948_11948 my grandpa has something similar to this, with a smaller hose. i've used to to drain as much fluid as possible from an automatic trans with no drain plug. works just fine.

    Need input on which Rotor brand to go with??

    DO WE REALLY NEED FUEL ADDITIVES?

    not sure what race gas would do to clean anything honestly... it smells real good though! did he say how it would be bad for the carbs? also doesnt make a lot of sense. i've used berryman's b12 chemtool as an all purpose fuel system cleaner from time to time and never had an issue.

    DO WE REALLY NEED FUEL ADDITIVES?

    are you sure you even had a midgrade storage tank? a lot of stations only have 2 grades in the ground and the pumps actually draw from both tanks when you select midgrade and blend it on the fly according to one of my buddies that works on pumps.

    This call is being recorded - interesting

    we have a call center where i work. every call is recorded to cover us. however the reps do not have to tell the caller they are being recorded and i do not believe it is part of the IVR system either. maybe texas is one of those states where it doesnt need to be stated? not sure.

    Need input on which Rotor brand to go with??

    most muffler shops will turn rotors for you for about 5-10 bucks a rotor. rotors dont really warp, the pulsing is usually due to pad deposits on the rotor face. replacing "warped" rotors is a waste of money unless they're too thin to be turned safely or they're actually cracked.
