    So my battery EXPLODED today

    I think this post is one to pay attention to. Hydrogen is much lighter than air (think dirigibles like the Hindenburg before helium was used). It won't form an explosive mix with air unless there is some sort of confinement that stops it from dispersing like the enclosed cells of a battery...

    Extremely Negative Experience - Jared at Ft Carson CO

    I had a similar experience with Ft. Carson. I had contacted a local outfit to pick the item up & ship it, but the GL rep would not release the lot & said it was abandoned. When I called him, the GL rep acted like a total jerk with a severe attitude. It has been more than a year, so I don't...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Many diesels have a fuel shut off solenoid that needs voltage to open & allow fuel through. They close to shut fuel off if there is no voltage coming to them. I can't say for sure the M35A3 is set up this way, but i'd bet it is.
