    Hose Woes ... Could it be ... FRAPPIN' ULSD?

    Definitely every bit AS expensive as the BioD vendors, but... If you check the specs on the wall thickness of the tubing I bought, it is greater than any of the stuff I saw available from the veggie dealers I looked at. I figured that the thicker stuff would give me a bit more insurance against...

    Hose Woes ... Could it be ... FRAPPIN' ULSD?

    Well fellas, I made an order to McMaster-Carr yesterday for the Viton injector O-rings, hosing and clamps. Pretty salty, but if it keeps me from having to repeat the exercise it's OK. Less than 24 hours after placing the order, the Fed Ex guy delivered it. HOLY JUMPIN' now that's service!;Sweet...

    Hose Woes ... Could it be ... FRAPPIN' ULSD?

    Well It sure as heck wasn't critters, unless they were on the nanometer scale. I'm wondering, since at this point all of the effected hosing is on the return line side, if just a bit of air in with ULSD causes some sort of reaction with the hose rubber and perforates it at the microscopic level...

    Hose Woes ... Could it be ... FRAPPIN' ULSD?

    Hi men, Hope all is well with you all. I haven't been active on the board in quite some time, been busy as a one handed wall paper hanger ... long story, nobody wants to hear it anyway, so I'll get on with it. I finally got a chance to get some work done on our van. She's been laid up all...

    Which Muffler????

    Jeff, Compu Doc is RIGHT! We did the Gibson on his ambulance with a chrome tip and it sounds awesome! My 4xvan is running whatever 3" stainless muffler came on it when I got it as an N/A engine, now it's got a turbo and sounds OK... If/when that muffler dies, I'm going to a Gibson too. DEEP...

    got [censored] tonite....

    Just thinking out loud here.... I've had no troubles over at TDS, so I still use both sites. But has anyone considered that if the basement is eliminated, there would be more server space and bandwidth for those who use the "higher-up" boards? Those ARE the folks that the majority of the...

    HUH??? Only 1/2" of block penetration on 4 of the studs - am I reading this right?? Did you check out Warden's website where he does a comparison of the stud/bolt lengths? I KNOW my bolts went into the block by more than 1/2". I'm wondering if you got shipped the right studs now.:wtf: OR one...

    Re: they finally came Finally! I was beginning to worry that I pushed you the wrong way - coercing you into getting the studs instead of the bolts:sorry: The disturbance in the force has been great. Achieve balance soon, you will. In this endeavour, successful you will be. (using best...

    Not sure what to think about this site

    Jim, That stinks. :( General Leslie Groves once said something to the effect that, "When I go to see the man, I want something lethal in my back pocket." That something lethal, in his case, was the atomic bomb (Groves headed its development at the Trinity Test site.) If you are not at fault...
