Well, it was time to change the fuel lines again so I pulled the trigger. All I have to say is WOW! What a difference new fuel lines can make!

Good question! I like to mix up my own using a little 10w40, 20w50, 90 weight some ball bearings and some gauze pads. Toss in a tbsp. of almond butter and you're all set to go for 15,000 miles or more!

| Where do you drive to keep your engine that clean, my Subi gets as dirty as any engine I have ever seen in any rig and in the winter is covered with road gravels. I had to install a screen over the vents on top of the alternator to keep the crap from damaging the unit. |
