Think she warns against TruFuel, doesn't see the problems being caused with other brands like Echo or Stihl. When I run RedArmor canned fuel its about a 500 - 600 rpm difference in RPM and I notice it takes a little longer for my blower to really warm up. I pulled the spark arresters out of my stuf...

[quote]once that plastic washer/bushing wears out, you'll have to keep lubricating often or replace it.[/quote] That must be a very cheap or improper hinge in that case because I hang a lot of doors and none of the hinges have plastic bushings or washers unless a hinge mounted door stop is involv...

Citizen for me today. Watch I always travel with and it will set itself automatically or with a push of a button by pulling a GPS or radio-based time signal so it's pretty much always within a second of NIST time. [img]https://d2j6dbq0eux0bg.cloudfront.net/images/58560370/3109476269.jpg[/img]...

[quote]After getting the gasoline, they went over to the place where the "magic" and proprietary additives were injected.

[quote]It's water based [/quote] WD-40 is in no way, shape, or form a water based lubricant. WD stands for Water Displacing and if you look in the SDS for it: "Solubilities: Insoluble in water". As for door hinges, I use 3-n-1 oil or mil spec CLP. I don't think I've ever had to real oil a hing...
