    Car carpet musty smell after sunroof drain leaks and paint spill.

    1, you’re gonna have to pull the carpets and 2, you’re gonna break stuff when you do. VW said their brittle *** plastic isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature. I’ve never seen a vw after a couple years that didn’t have plastic start breaking off.

    Anyone ever go back to basics? Simpler/Cheaper tools

    When I was wrenching on cars for a living I bought a couple things from Snap on. A flank drive wrench set, some sockets and a ratchet. What I’ve found is that I still used the craftsman stuff that I started out with. There’s nothing wrong with the snap on stuff. I think of me it’s just a matter...

    Pallet board wall sheathing?

    Here’s the chicken coop we built last spring. It’s all pallets. The fastest way I found to break down the pallets for the slats was to take a recip saw and the Milwaukee AX blades. Those are the absolute best I found for going through the nails. Paint the wall a dark color and then one at a...

    What's in TruFuel

    Quite honestly idk where you’d look to find the evidence. I only use it in the last can I mix of the season. I don’t see the point in using it year round. I use it faster than they say is necessary.

    What's in TruFuel

    Yeah, I went back and read some more on the page and saw that. Looks like the marine is the ticket for small engine fuel.

    What's in TruFuel

    Stabil was never advertised to protect against ethanol. Stabil is used to prevent fuel from going bad in equipment and vehicles when they are stored for a long time.

    What's in TruFuel

    I fill up the can for the riding mower and pour a couple gallons out of that. It covers my saw and my blower, my weed whacker is 40-1. I can fill my cans at the first of the season, throw in some stabil and they last the summer and fall, and just refill the mower can as needed. I’m cutting about...

    What's in TruFuel

    I do use the ethanol free fuel but even is I didn’t I’m replacing the carb myself. No way I’m paying to do 45 mins worth of work replacing a carb when I can do it myself. As far as the VP fuels idk if any of the small engine shops around me carry fuel by the gallon or anything. I very seldom go...

    What's in TruFuel

    I can’t pay what they ask for trufuel. I have access to ethanol free but even if I didn’t I wouldn’t pay it. I’d replace the carb every couple years first. That stuff is 20 bucks for roughly a gallon vs. 3 bucks for ethanol free or 2.50 for the cheap stuff.

    Is Dexos necessary?

    From my understanding basically all the Dexos standard is is specing synthetic oil. As long as the bottle says it meets Dexos standards you’ll be fine.

    How to repair 25gallon tow behind sprayer

    I’d take a hole saw just a hair bigger and cut it out and put a bulkhead fitting in. If it falls down in there fish it out with a coat hanger.
