rscott posted:I hear it's a good time to get into oil The nice thing about oil companies is that they pay dividends, so even if the stock stays flat, there's still some income. That said, I don't want any more exposure to oil, it's too volatile. At least I didn't jump in before the crash, or worse, buy futures a few months ago. Edit: and perhaps the least-AI thing ever -- I've been watching craigslist for a cheap Prius, especially one that needs a battery pack. I think with the glut of cheap gas, people are going to be short-minded and go back to gas hogs... and I doubt that cheap gas is going to be a long-term thing.

Fo3 posted:I guess the other petrol station I filled the jerry can up with had bad fuel (which is also nice to know). If you topped it off from a jerry can it might be worth checking that the can doesn't have a bunch of crap in it that's ending up in the tank before you decide the other joint has crap petrol. I've had a new plastic one i bought that had a heap of plastic swarf in the bottom, and a metal one I hadn't used in a while that rusted up pretty badly.

Nah, it was a jerry can I use a lot for lawn mowers, or even used to keep spare fuel in for my ute before. Completely empty and clean when filling. I had in the the ute empty just in case because I know I was pushing the limit, but had no choice because I was late for a medical appointment. Ute ran out of fuel on the way home from that appointment, so I took the well used and clean can and walked to the nearest petrol station to where I was and filled up 5 L and walked back. Ute started but ran like poo poo. I suspected maybe fuel pump dying and started prepping for a pump change but then thought it's a bit odd that it starts fine if the pump is dodgey. That's when I thought today it may be worth buying some fuel elsewhere before buying a fuel pump. Maybe the pump is on it's way out, oh well, at least I got all the bolts lubed, and I'm not putting the canopy back on anyway (only had it because of the roof rack for ladders and locking away toolboxes and gas bottles etc inside. But I'm not running a business anymore any way). Besides, an open top ute is more useful for tall things and rubbish dump trips which is probably what I'll be using it for more now these days, plus a lot more visibility when driving.

If you are serious about that datsun comment, my sister is looking to sell her '80 720 I've posted some pics of occasionally. L20B engine, RWD manual, I've done some work on it. It was an Arizona truck until a couple years ago, has been in the northeast for a few years but has no serious rust issues, just a little staining in a few spots. Runs and drives aside from a clutch slave cylinder that will be replaced before purchase, she's looking for $1500.

Got a nice cold beer, and 24 Hours of Daytona on the big TV. Gotta love seeing fancy 911's missing bumpers and taillights and still having the absolute poo poo beat out of them. I can't loving wait to go down to 12 Hours of Sebring this year. ![]()

Shock, awe, etc. On the other hand, 3VZE Toyota water necks / thermostat housings go through the timing belt idler pulley. THEY GO THROUGH THE loving TIMING BELT IDLER PULLEY. Like, the pulley bearing loving rides on it. If you need to replace that part (and the thermostat housing cover/hose barb thing goes over two little tiny studs in it and is held down with nuts, so you better bet it's going to happen eventually when the nuts seize and the studs break) you have to gently caress with your cam drive synch! e: here it is in all its glory ![]()
