    Gas tank building excessive pressure & fuel smell. Dangerous for sure! Why does this happen?

    Physics. I deal with pumps at work all the time. The largest is 4,000HP. If you recycle discharge back to suction and the delta P across the pump is high, due to the inefficiency of the pump and adiabatic heating, the fluid heats up. Our fuel pumps are small scale but they can eventually...

    Too much battery?

    This is an example of a good way to protect your ability to start. There are quite a few out there.

    Too much battery?

    Nope. All you need to do is make sure the voltage is the same. Battery A/hr ratings are just that, a rating for how many amps per hour you can pull out of the battery before pulling the voltage too low. Renogy.com is a more wordy Amp-hours, or Ah for short, are a unit of measure for a battery's...

    Name this doohickey!

    Awe man... I thought this was going to be like one of those "name my pet" things. Donut seemed like a good choice.

    Trickle Charger - 2001 LX 470

    1.5W @13VDC is 115mA. Not much.

    Trip to Moab and Ouray in the 100. Suggestions on places to go?

    Is that the El Hombre I know from BiBe Chat? Either way, the book he recommended is the one that I have (mine might be a little older) and it's great. Especially if it's your first time in the area. Honestly, both places are going to be busy. Telluride is a little more upscale. I've stayed at...

    Trip to Moab and Ouray in the 100. Suggestions on places to go?

    Ouray is full of cool places to go. It'll be a bit crowded there this time of year. Ophir Pass is fun. That's south of town. Go north and at Ridgeway turn west on 62, not far after the scenic turnout (2.5-ish miles) you'll come to a dirt road that heads south (left turn). That's Last Dollar...

    Comments about the coming EV revolution and our 100's

    EV's should be called IR's. Ignore reality. Maybe pull up a physics YouTube channel.

    Deep Humming Sound

    Mine does that occasionally. I haven't found the problem. The center bolt that holds the front skid plate on finally gave up. It was stripped out when I bought it and I tapped it to the next larger size. When it started "humming" I was poking around under the car and noticed that the bolt was...

    Gas tank building excessive pressure & fuel smell. Dangerous for sure! Why does this happen?

    I've only had problems with it at higher altitudes in the summer as well. It's a pretty well documented problem

    Roof sticker strip things?

    I think he's talking about the pads under the roof rack feet.

    How bad is this??? (‘05 lx470 w/ 312k miles, drain & fill transfer case)

    Mine looked like that when I changed the fluids for the first time. I sent a sample off to Blackstone Labs and they weren't concerned.

    For those with K02's ... what is your preferred tire pressure off road?

    I have the Staun deflators and I thought that 18 psig was too low. I like 25 psig. I've had a rock go through the outer lug of a new KO2 (diesel pickup) that was at full pressure and never had a problem on the same road aired down to 25. It's also faster to inflate back to normal pressure. Less...

    Looking at 1999 Cruiser with no key

    Ok. I don't think you can open the hood to charge the battery without getting in. The Lishi, once the lock is turned, can be used to decode the pins. It's not easy or a slam dunk. Maybe the better bet would be to contact a locksmith. That way there is no appearance issues.

    Looking at 1999 Cruiser with no key

    Lishi Tool $54.00 Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube has videos that demonstrate the use of a Lishi. I've tried the padlock versions and they are astonishingly easy to use. The saving grace for automotive is the electronic security systems that come in newer (20 years old is newer to me). So a...

    How long does your battery last if you let the truck sit in the cold?

    The factory alarm system is a drain. The clock is a drain. That's the two I can think of off the top of my head.

    How long does your battery last if you let the truck sit in the cold?

    It's under the hood just in front of air filter box. I keep the power cable for it coiled up and pass an extension cable in from underneath of the bumper I need to make something to secure it better but it hasn't moved so far. I looked for a photo but I don't have one.
