Don't think. I've used a piece of fuel line with a bolt stuck in the end, that way it'll cover the complete fitting.

Good place to charge the air system should you ever have to get it towed (hope I didn't jinx it :-) ). Also good for charging air if you don't want to run it in a garage to build air. Put a cap of some type over it, if not it'll be full of mud when you go to use it.

He's going to be your best bet, he's on this site a lot, heard nothing but good things about him. thepumpguysc

I'd say bad neutral, that would explain the voltage going up. Here's a good explanation:

I would say a ground strap from the bed of the truck/cans to the fuel nozzle so they're at the same potential.

Him and Karen are one of the top channels IMHO. How someone so young can have the smarts he does is amazing. Homeless as well naturally :-)

That would be my go to method,

As 4570Man said. Think of it this way, if you had two pieces of 2 x 2 pine couple of feet long and grabbed each one in a vice from the end. One one scribe a line across it just up from the vice and then try to break both, which one will break first?

I thought it was odd as well but I figured if that's the only problem I have if my trailer gets away from me, it'll be the least of my worries LOL. I just make sure that when I do test it, I unplug it. It's definitely wired neg ground, it's happen to a couple of new trucks at work (both Rams)...

A motor spool, other than allowing the motor to freewheel when returned to neutral sometimes has either a tapered land rather than an abrupt square edge or else cuts around the circumference of the land to allow easier feathering of the flow. I've ground tapers on a spool before when I've been...

Make sure to unplug the trailer plug first. On my Ram 1500, it'll blow the fuse for the service brakes, least ways it did on mine. Not a big fix if you know about it but a real pia if you don't. Factory brake harness and controller.

This is the one I have. All the points 5030 said are valid, sounds like his machine is the same as mine. All I've ever used is simple Green and it seems to work fine. For small parts, I use either a small kitchen strainer that'll stay up right with the small parts inside or a tea infuser ball...

Thanks. Probably work better than what I was suggesting, it being smooth inside and easy/fast to remove when you take it out of the freezer.

Squirrel did the same to the corner of the SIL old Sears blower fuel tank and it was NLA. I cut strips off the top of a 5 gallon pail and used them and a small propane torch to rebuild it by melting the tank and strips of plastic together. Wasn't really hard but the melted plastic has absolutely...

Thinking outside the box her so be gentle :-). What about if you use the 4.5 or even 5mm orings, put a band/hose clamp around it while in place and tighten it up, maybe even a thick zip tie first and then a band clamp so you don't screw up the surface of the O ring with the serrations of the...
