    Code Enforcement Threat

    The problem is you are such a super stealthy evil master criminal guy that you hide the evidence even from yourself. Is there a local investigative reporter you can contact?

    Accident aftermath (M1009)

    I agree. File a report with the police and insurance in case they come back later with a different story. I was on a main road in the deuce and a pair of teen girls started to pull out of Burger King going the wrong way. They quickly stopped and backed up.

    road draft tube / slobber tube

    Mine drips a little drop out of the slobber tube now and then. In the winter you can see fumes slowly creep out but not puffing. Just very slowly drifting away.

    Who to use to move a Tank?

    Parts trip gone wrong

    Glad you are ok. It's always good to leave tons of following distance but sometimes even that isn't enough.

    Starting trouble

    What is the temperature outside? When it's below 30 or so I have to give it a shot of starting fluid. Just enough to touch off the diesel. I hold the pedal down for 30 seconds or so to keep it at regular idle rpm then the cylinders are warm enough to keep things running smoothly. Once the oil...
