I've used marine grade JB Weld on my expansion tank after I cracked the nipple on it. It ended up leaking again afterwards. I don't think it adheres well to the plastic.

I once heard a story about a pilot who hand propped an Aeronca Champ with the throttle wide open. The airplane took off by itself and circled around until it ran out of fuel. It then landed unharmed in a farmer's field.

The average airplane in general aviation isn't going to have wheels that cost $28,000. You can actually build an airplane for under $28,000!

What kind of Piper is it? I love flying the J-3 Cub.

That filter scares me. If you want to stick with Fram then I suggest spending a little extra and get the Fram Tough Guard. I use to run them in my last car with a 3,000 mile OCI. The oil always looked good when I drained it even with 245,000 miles on the engine. I currently use WIX filters in...

When I had my 1996 Saab 900 SE I found it got better fuel economy with premium gas. The owner's manual suggested running premium. Because the car is turbocharged it required the higher octane rating to get both optimal power and/or fuel economy. Running lower grades of fuel the car would...

The manual only specifies LL-A-025 as a requirement for the oil. AMSOIL OE meets Dexos1 which supersedes LL-A-025, 6094M and 4718M.

I got to go up in the EAA's Ford Tri-motor when I was a kid. It was an awesome experience that I'll never forget. I was inline for a young eagles flight and they were falling behind so they decided to take some up in their Tri-Motor. They called out all the names and the last kid didn't show...

That's what I thought. This is the first oil change I did on this car. I have no idea what the PO or dealer used before.

Here are the results from my 2004 Saab 9-3 Linear 2.0t. The car has the 5 speed automatic transmission. There was about 116,000 miles on the car at the time of the analysis. I'm running AMSOIL OE 5w-30 with a Wix oil filter. I'm usually easy on the pedal but there are times when I get on it...
