I couldn't compress mine enough with my spring tool so I ran them up to a car shop. They installed for a few bucks and then I put them back on car. I lowered just for looks, my splitter is 3.5" off the ground.
I'm thinking of putting down RaceDeck in the garage that gets used every day, anyone have this? Do you like it? Viper garage has epoxy and is holding up well but its not used much.
We agree on one thing Drill Baby Drill. Ethanol may not be the long term solution but we have it as an option today. I thought at first you was sounding all green peace. No oil,no nuc plants, no coal etc. I also agree on more Nuc plants.
These numbers are unfair because they calculate the cost from the time you till the field to the time it goes the the ethanol plant. We have hundreds of millions bushels of surplus corn in the U.S. and 1 bushel makes about 2.8 gals of ethanol. I say buy U.S. fuel not Mid East oil. Ethanol is...
Ethanol will not eat through a fuel storage tank. Only tanks used for E-85 need upgrade not E-10 or 15. The reason for upgrading the E-85 tank is it will clean the crud out of an old tank. They still use the same old rail cars and semi tankers for transporting Ethanol.
I have a Suburban that runs E-85, it gets 3 mpg worse mileage(14 on E-85 and 17 on E-10). If you do the math E-85 needs to be about .40-.45 cheaper to break even, it's now running .65 cheaper.
Tom, good educated post on ethanol. On the E-85 you are correct, only run in a flex-fuel auto. Many around here are running E-85 in truck pulling and stock car racing but the carbs are built and motors tuned to run this 105 octane fuel. Makes cheap race car fuel.
Yellow32, I read your original post again and you sure don't know as much about this topic as you think you do. Gas stations do not need to convert tanks to sell the E-10 or E-15. Ethanol is a choice not a mandate like you say.
What about E-85, around here the racers love it. It's 105 octane, a little carb tune and they have cheap race car fuel. It's running about .60 a gal cheaper than reg. gas. I run E-85 in my Suburban I think it's great. I like the idea of fuel from the U.S. not from the Mid East.
Where do you get this crap? I've run 10% in my 72 Vette, 454 with no problem and you mention harming boat motors, well it ran fine in my twin 500Hp Cigarette.
I have an enclosed trailer so the oil leak won't be a problem, just not sure I want to drive the extra 5 hrs each way. I should have got a hold of Mark when he was offering a free back haul from Alabama, his trailer would have been going right past me on his way back.
Got mine on today. I had the textured side towards the tire at first and then switched them and put the smooth side towards the tire. I think I like the texture on the outside.
