    Non ethanol gas

    Not necessarily run better but be less prone to knock. Unless running a performance engine (Raptor R, TRX, Z06 vette, some high end German vehicles, modified engines of some sort), the engine will run the exact same on 87 as it will on 93 and everything in between. High compression ratio, or...

    Merchants demanding cash only for payment.

    It is kind of funny when looking at a credit/debit card as a benefit for customers when in reality a lot of times it is a benefit for both. Customers no longer have to worry about extra trips to the bank or carrying substantial enough cash to pay for a week's worth of stuff. Business do not end...

    Anyone here own a boat, or know a lot about boats?

    In my experience it depends on what you want to get out of the boat and when you want to use it. In general a 20' bow rider will hold 10ish people, a couple dogs and cargo. All boats made post like 1990 or something are required to have a capacity plaque or sticker that is legible and easily...

    Diesel fuel is running out

    I wonder if this is only major truck stops in each region, I say this because I am in the Midwest and except at the large truck stops like Loves the highest I see is 5.17 in my area. Heck there is even a couple fuel stations under 4.50 a gallon for diesel.

    Who Owns the Fence

    Outside of the legal side of it there is also another more personal way for you to look at it. Did you change your mind because the cost of the new fence is too high, you have pride in the fence you repaired, or was there some spite built in there? If it is the latter, is being stuck with the...

    I was moderated… correctly…

    I learned to not fill in the address line of an email when typing up a wall hanger until after I have read it through a few times and have made it at least a professionally written wall hanger.

    Phone charging cable?

    Length is a factor also cables are rated for different wattages as well. If you look at the USB C spec there are cable ratings of everything from 15W to 100W and even a future spec that can output 240W. The best way to tell is by the cable amp/voltage rating. take the Amps*Volts and you'll get...

    Dealing with irrigation pressure loss over distance and hills.

    So there are a lot of things that come into play when sizing pumps. Specific gravity of the fluid, line size, how many fittings, how long of a run, suction pressure/vacuum, flow requirements, and head requirements. This is just for getting the right pump size and horsepower based on the wanted...

    Fords are junk

    So with all the videos being posted of 1/2 tons towing massive loads, this video explains how it is possible and why it is just marketing. As a note most trucks can pull significantly more than they are rated to tow but stopping that load and keeping wheel bearings, axles, difs, etc. from...

    Roundabouts

    Personally I like Roundabouts as traffic flows through them pretty easily and the only times I have ever seen backups from them is when one person stops and sits there waiting for the thing to empty. On the topic of traffic intersections look at the Diverging Diamond Intersection. The city...

    DEF---DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID

    My work has had a hard time getting grease from our supplier due to thickener shortages and oil for gas engines is getting scarce on the shelf as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if diesel oil is in short supply as well due to additive package shortages. I don't quite understand the quotations...

    Not directly tractor related, but right to repair

    Hopefully the FTC forces car manufacturers to display what the error code is on one of the 20 vehicle screens that are included in cars now adays rather than requiring an OBDII reader. It isn't like those screens are sandboxed and don't talk to the ECU. Only reason it isn't already there is...

    Bed Liner

    My F-150 was completed by Line X when it was new. It has held up great and there is only 1 chip from a place that I got a panel stuck between pallet forks and the pallet. From what I have heard it is better to do spray in than roll on if you are doing it yourself.

    Was looking at box blades

    3/8 is the nominal thickness. Like 2x4s are not 2" by 4" they are 1.5x3.5.

    Diesel fuel question

    That is not an issue with renewable, but is with bio. What separates renewable from traditional is the source material and what separates renewable from bio is the process. So it is more expensive to make but depending on the source material the C02 emissions produced are then reused by the...

    Battery Question

    It probably wouldn't hurt the battery (assuming Lead Acid) but the car is designed around a 6 volt system so sending more voltage will probably not be good for electrical components in the car for the long run. Is it just a cost/availability thing or is there something that the 6v battery isn't...

    Ukraine

    like I said they are rumors. However, based on the accuracy of their current "smart" weapons it wouldn't be that surprising either
