Can 1 step fuel cleaner damage my car if the tank is nearly empty when it is added?

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:04:07 +0000

One step was added to my 2005 Toyota 4 Runner when the tank was nearly empty. I drove about 3 blocks and filled the tank. My fuel mileage immediately dropped from 20-22 mpg to about 14 and has stayed 14 to 16 mpg since thru several tanks of gas. The only other things that were done to my car at that same time was a oil change and the battery terminals were cleaned. Can the fuel cleaner have damaged something causing this drop in fuel mileage?

You fouled/damaged the front oxygen sensor (likely). Never on an empty tank.

a runner with a mass of 52 kg has a momentum of 218 kg x m/s. What is the runners velocity?

velocity = momentum/mass = 218kgm/s / 52 kg = 4.2 m/s

Louis zamperini. Hope I spelled that right.
He had a really troubled childhood but channeled it all into running and broke the record for the fastest lap while running the Olympic mile

Can I install a stair runner with tack nails alone?

If not, what more do I need?

Also, how long should I wait to install the runner after painting the stairs?

Personal experience, anecdotes, etc. will be most helpful.

Thanks in advance!

What do i need if i want to put a 70′s kit on my Gilera Runner?

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:48:58 +0000

I want to put a 70cc kit on my Gilera Runner.
Firstly any recommended kits that are better?
What carb/jet sizes will i need?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Firstly make sure any 70cc kit you get will fit a Piaggio type engine. If you get a high-end 70cc kit you will need a bigger carb, 17,5 would do fine. For the jet size, i would say for a start, get one around 95 or so, smaller chance of overheating or destroying your engine if your running rich. If 95 is too big, move down 5 sizes and try again. If it feels too lean(engine revs to max in just 1/2 turn of the throttle) get a bigger jet. There are a lot of scooter-tuning forums where you could ask, people there are very friendly.

How to clean wool carpet?

admin — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 05:53:16 +0000

I have a wool carpet runner installed on my stairs. Yesterday my dog had an accident and peed down the stairs. I used Dawn dish soap to try to clean the stain at first, but now I have blue stains from the Dawn. I tried Woolite carpet cleaner, but that didn’t work to get the blue out. I’m trying not to resort to a professional cleaner if I don’t have to. Any suggestions? Thanks!
The blue stain is from using blue colored Dawn dish soap.The carpet is a light cream color.

Rinse the spot with warm water to remove the dish washing detergent until the blue is gone.With one part white vinegar and 3 parts water wet the spot and soak up with a sponge or an old towel. Repeat several times. This will clean up the doggy pee and deoderise the spot. If any odour left when the carpet is dry, sprinkle bicarb soda over the spot and leave for a day or so. Vacuum up.

White vinegar deoderises, helps prevent colours fading and is a natural antibacterial. One part white vinegar and one part water in a spray bottle can be sprayed to deoderise rooms (cheaper than fabreeze) and on kitchen benchtops to "sanitise" them.

Bicarb soda is also an odour eater and works wonders in the laundry as a booster for washing detergent.
