The inner most of the two air tanks is called the wet tank. The outer tank is called the dry tank. The wet tank is the first place where the newly compressed air (with all of its compressed moisture) goes. As the air cools, the moisture condenses out, and fills the tank with water. On the...

Have you ever drained your wet tank? If it gets full of water the regulator will cycle very frequently. -Chuck

Beryllium copper is commonly use for springs in electrical contacts. It is fairly low resistance, like copper, but unlike copper, it is springy when properly heat treated, and can withstand a near infinite number of flex relax cycles. ...But... It is only occasionally used, by itself, as a...

Darn nice of you taking the blame for Elmo, but he sure looks like the guilty party to me! -Chuck

I'm currently working on making a removable lighted license plate holder that mounts onto the trailer connector on the back of the deuce.... That way, when you are in a show, or something where you don't want your truck's appearance marred by a civy license plate, you just unplug the license...

The usual way to deal with fuel oil that is too viscous is to change its viscosity. Add 10 to 20% diesel, and you will see a world of a difference. -Chuck

See the red light on the dash marked "BRAKE"? That doesn't exist on single circuit brake systems. -Chuck

or want?..... -Chuck

Nothing wrong with your computer, it is just using a type font that you don't have. -Chuck

My heart is heavy, and I am very sad... Rest in peace James. -Chuck

The government's lube order is about logistics, not about what is best for your transmission. They clearly preferred to sacrifice some life, and shifting smoothness, for the efficiencies gained by stocking and transporting only a single type of gear oil. Just like they prefer to run everything...

Perhaps the price of burning a mixture of transmission fluid and used oil? -Chuck

That's it boys and girls, I think we have a winner! I'd like to thank everyone for playing! -Chuck

gimpyrobb to be more precise. Go to the advanced search, and put gimpyrobb in as the user name... when you start typing gimp, it should give you the options. Put fuel cutoff in as the search terms, and you will find one example. -Chuck

You don't want to buy an inline pump, get the proper intank pump. It was specified for a purpose. It allows you flush your fuel filters with the engine off, and to restart the engine easily after you have run out of fuel. No priming is necessary if you have the intank pump. Without the...

My poor head's a spinning here: and a little further down the page: Which is it, dry rot doesn't occur quickly, or it only occurs quickly when it is a boot style that you didn't use? -Chuck

Ordinary latex paints tend to adhere poorly to metals. They work better with a primer meant for metals... the water based primer made by Rustoleum works very well. Surface preparation is important too. Nothing sticks to oily metal surfaces. I have had lousy luck with Behr paints. I did my...

Arriving on the fairy? That sounds almost story like! Would that be Tinkerbell, or Tooth? ;-) -Chuck

Nor were the ones that stuck my Bobcat. All it takes is slime on the bottom of the puddle, and you are stuck. No traction -> stuck. -Chuck

Well, you might guess that would be true, but then mud is mud, and I get my skid steer vehicles (aka Bobcat) stuck in the mud all the time. And they are even better than lockers in that I can control the amount of torque, and the direction of torque, to the wheels instantly. I agree with the...
