    Hybrid Vehicles

    at least back in the old days they treated us like mushrooms and just went ahead and did stuff that damaged the environment, , these days they simply use whatever media platform they choose to brain wash the general public into believing they are doing this (no mention of damage ) all for a...

    good in theory , however ,ammonia is also expensive to the environment to produce , the good about it is that it is an abundant bi product of many things used today, while the tree huggers are running with their hands in the are about green house gasses ammonia will never become a primary fuel...

    Hybrid Vehicles

    100% with ::airshot:: on that , these EV POS catch fire and send clouds of poisonous toxins into the environment. i drove past one on the highway that was on fire , the fumes were so toxic that i had issues breathing for hours afterward , and not to mention that poisonous smell of the smoke...

    454 in a 21' bowrider

    there is no replacement for displacement , go with the big block depending on boat weight and what you do with it.. if you want economy then you cant go past a 5.7, a stroker 383 small block will get you in the same hp region as the big block but the torque is not as muck, however the...

    Sealer for pontoon.

    lots of allycans down here in Australia, seen some pretty badly rotted boats from pitting . Queensland up north was the worst ,where there is also humidity to exasperate the corrosion. some owners of boats had people come out to check the voltages in the water at the marinas where some were...

    Sealer for pontoon.

    pitted aluminum is gonna be pitted aluminum , as a welder you would know that , putting a dodgy patch on a pitted area is only going to cover a issue "not fix it". put some gloves on and smear a tube of 5200 over the area , it will seal but for how long ??????.

    Twin Solex pa44 1, volvo penta Aq151B
