DIY fuel injector cleaning by
George Bray
I want to clean my fuel injectors as preventive maintenance. There's
no sign of anything wrong but I assume the injectors won't suffer from
being cleaned. Adding an expensive snake oil treatment to the gas tank
sounds too uncertain to me.
I propose removing the injectors to dip them in carb...

Gas prices... by
Zoggin
Some anaylists predict gaslone prices to exceed $2.00 a gallon by this
summer for the entire US. Those places that already have exceeded the
$2.00 barrier could as high as $3.00 a gallon.
The only good I see of this is to get all the damned SUV's off the
road. Let's see how $100.00+ fill ups...

gas filter bowls by
RB
Old gas engines used to have glass filter bowls just prior to the
carburetors for collecting trash and water. . I'd like to find one of the
bigger ones of those assemblies.
Who made the things? Are they available in parts stores anymore, or are
they strictly a junkyard item?

Take my car with me to China? by
Rolf Lochbühler
Hi there.
Does anybody here have any experience importing a car to Mainland
China for personal use?
I'd be interested to hear about the general procedure and about any
non-technical issues that did come up. Was it worth the effort to
ship your car?
Do you have a dealer of your brand available?...

Smelly brakes by
Smerby
Hi all,
My right front brake (or possibly both front brakes) has been smelling
like that of an 18 wheeler braking down a long hill. I noticed it when
sitting at a red light and after I parked the car. I have a 1998
Lumina with anti lock brakes. Could this be a sticking caliper?
Anybody got any...
