    Outside oil or kerosene tank owners

    I have never had issues with water in kerosene since using the product. I have had my tractor about 2 years, 140 hours on meter. The float in the fuel filter/water separator is still on the bottom of the bowl.

    Outside oil or kerosene tank owners

    I use Pri-D for long term kerosene storage. Prior to using it, my kerosene heater wick got slimed (smoky fire) and had to replace it. I use the same for diesel fuel.

    I bought 5 gallons of 1K kerosene today for $5.99/gallon. Same station had 87 octane gas for $3.95/gallon. Been refilling my strategic petroleum reserve.

    What's a good fuel consumption rate for an L3901

    I was bush hogging 5' weeds including ironweed, goldenrod, thistles and broom grass, pretty thick stuff. With a 5' bush hog, tractor in 2nd gear, the engine didn't bog down, but the bush hog couldn't handle any more. I measured 0.8 gal/hr.

    Weird experiences you've had...

    That was an experiment that we got to eat in our introductory EE course. Had to measure current and voltage and plot power vs time on a paper chart. The area under the curve was watt hours or energy required to cook a hot dog. We had to submit the optimum energy required for a slightly crisp...

    Could have been my kid. He managed to take a bulb out of a lamp and put his finger in the socket. He was about 4.

    Weird experiences you've had...

    I think it was 2nd grade science. We built an electromagnet with a dry cell, wire, and a nail. It worked well, but I thought it would be better if I plugged it into a 120V outlet. I wired an electrical plug to it. I tried it at home. I was surprised that the nail vibrated at 60 hz and I soon...

    HVAC related question

    If you are assuming electric power is available, then an outdoor wood stove or wood burning furnace is what you need. I've seen furnace setups that use a couple of manual ductwork dampers to switch between gas and wood. I've thought about cobbling together one of those. If electric power is not...

    Different set of protestors, basically parents (your post) vs. sexualized curriculum activists (Lugbolt post). The parents are being harassed.

    I would bet that the FBI isn't investigating these protests at school board meetings.

    When I was in High School, my buddies found a novel in the library that had a descriptive chapter on a sex scene. The Librarian noticed groups of boys in that section of the library laughing at something. The school board found out about it, had the book removed, and an investigation was...
