    On a Carrier pump screen/filter which way does the diesel flow?

    I am cleaning mine in kerosene then brake cleaner then blowing it out with compressed air, so my question is which way would I blow it out if I wanted to be blowing in the reverse direction of the fuel flow?

    How to lube the pot metal ignition actuator before it breaks

    Been reading about this, mine works fine now but it would make sense to me to lube the part now before it breaks, anybody know how to do this? It would be nice if someone would say "spray some lithium grease in this hole on your column" but I have a feeling it will be harder than that.

    What is the difference between add and full on the dipstick?

    83 was down to add, I put in a quart and it barley rose, drove it for a while, it was the same, so I put in a quart and a half, it now shows just a little bit more, its about one quarter of the way from add to full, i.e. its still mostly low, just a bit above the add line. Does it take nearly...
