i was filling my civic on the side of the highway with one.. they spill half the 2 gallons on the car and ground, the rest goes IN the tank... i had ran home for lunch and had the car 2 days. ran out halfway back to work. got a ride home for a can then filled it. after the requisite spill, i...

my solution? to grab jerry cans, atv/dirt bike style, old pre-CARB cans whenever i see them.

don't get me started on Chineee made ****, especially engines... i'm in the same boat brother. i have a 250cc 2 stroke scooter that is maybe 10 years old that i want to make a bobber type mad max thing.. but can't find the wiring diagram or parts for it.

PEX is only rated something like 100psi... my 2007 built house has PEX water lines and they don't like to freeze or UV exposure! why not 1/2" PVC? it's rated >300psi WP, and about 2000psi burst.

come to CA.... we have had like 8 or 10 iterations of CARB cans in my lifetime! and they all ******* **** *** and spill gas on the ground or car (the thing they are supposed not to do) :shocking:, not to mention they build pressure/vacuum and get stress fractures!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't wait till we...

the regulator will get worn when left on one setting it's entire life. no big deal really... unless you want a lower cfh/psi from it, then it won't be accurate. i'm **** about all my regulators being backed out when not in use. since it can be months+ before i get back to using it.

i got a few dedoes paint mixing lids.. they are generally used for automotive two-part paints. i'm wondering if anyone knows if they will work on solvent/oil-base paints as well?

Re: what did you do in your garage today? rebuilt the carb on my free briggsie 3.75hp mower.. total cost: primer bulb, $5 traded a like-new toro mower for a couple 55# sacks of American 2-row barley, a 20# co2 refill and a ps2 with a ****-ton of games. cha!
