I thought they just blew things up.
Mostly, they do but sometimes they debunk other things. Wednesday, they were debunking MacGiver’s stunts. The week before they were in Alaska.
Always fill up in the early morning before the ground has heated up. Gas expands with heat.
Fill up when the tank is still half full - less vapors in the tank.
Do not fill up if a delivery is being made to the gas station - the rush of incoming gas can stir up sediment at the bottom of the storage tanks.
If the nozzle has different speeds - use the slowest one. (can't say I've ever come across any of these)
My highschool car was a 85 Dodge Ram with a 360. With all the smog controls on it and 8.5:1 compression, it wasn’t that impressive. By the time I finish my Barracuda with the 440 engine in all its pre-smog controls high compression muscle car glory, the greens will have me tooling around in a plug in hybrid. Fortunately I can walk to work. Or just take my 35mpg Harley.
Selling my Barracuda was among the worst decisions of my life. It was immaculate when I sold it twenty years ago. I actually saw it in a local car show a couple years ago. It made me happy to see that it looked like it just rolled off the dealer showfloor- with the MSRP sticker and dealer delivery order (which confirmed that it had been my car). Now, there is no way I could afford to replace it. I wish you the best with your Cuda! Post a picture of it sometime!
