The discussion another time with auto tranny fluid was the friction inhibitors used and the effect they may have on the injection system. Seems to be a moot point now.

Islandguydon, yeah there are laws about what you can burn and blending licenses or other permits are the way they get you for those pennies...and you stay legal in their eyes.

Thanks Spicergear, being legal is good,

don, I think you're kind of bent out of shape about road taxes, etc. due to the bureaucracy maybe being a bit thick in your neck of the woods. Have you ever thought about moving? Seems like there's plenty of places where the local government is content to have a happy populace! Might just mean a longer trip to pick up your ATF!

If you decide to move, don't come to MA if you want fewer regulations and more freedoms

It's a nightmare.

go where the guns are. If they let you keep your guns, the bureaucrats might not get their panties in a bunch about the chemical composition of your fuels.

Now having said that, I will advise against settling in areas that are hippie or yuppie magnets. Idaho and Wyoming, 2 of the most gun-friendly states (Anybody can carry concealed in WY) have an anomylous zone of anti-freedom that seems to have spawned out of the Jackson Hole area. If you want to build a house in a spud field, you've gotta pay big bucks to get an environmental study done of the site. If the findings are inconclusive, you still pay for the study, but you don't build.

Thanks Panshark, But No Thanks, I am 100% happy where I am located at. I would not want to live anywhere else in the world. Firearms are not my thing and I could care less if I have a gun or not. I have lived in Australia, The Vegas Valley, LA, Miami, US V.I., New Jersey and Detroit. I have been to every state except Alaska and have traveled the world. There is no spot on earth like my spot and I am not moving for anything.

We fight our battles with government bureaucracies where ever we go. Why change locations to fight a different bureaucracies in a different location. I finally am making headroom where I am at.

Jackson Hole is a beautiful place (and I especially love Bubba's BBQ) but it is definitely Californicated. As far as ID I prefer the Moscow area myself, especially in the summer when all the students are gone.

Went down to the local Oil Change place yesterday for another 110 gallons of ATF. Still $1.00 a gallon. I scored on a case of 5 micron fuel filters. They were a mis ship and the box was opened so I got all 18 for Dealer cost of $3.56 each. Tractor supply has the same brand and model number for $22.67 With that kind of markup I am going to rethink my next trip to T.S.

Manufacturers Number: 56606
Brand: Dutton-Lainson®
Used With Fuel Pump: Yes
Microns: 4 micron
Filter Width: 4 in.
Filter Length: 8-3/10 in.
Filter Height: 4 in.

Don, you might be on to something here. With a little bit of legwork, a guy could become a dealer. Mark it up 50%, ship them (minimum order of 2) in a Medium-sized flat rate box (2 day shipping), and the consumer still only pays 50% of the going rate. Sounds like another deal that's ripe for the Steel Soldiers community!
