Re: El garage de Horacio

My 17 years old son watched and said: this guy is great and has brought some fancy cars to the market, but if he likes so much the sleek design and simplicity of the E why would he go opposite and create such complicated cars? :seeingstars:

Re: 123 Tune.....I am not so sure anymore 1962 3.8

No intention to bore you further with this, but for sake of better illustration: this fuel bacteria enjoys ideal growth conditions in the interfacial surface between water and gasoline.

Andrew, more seriously now, the rotten smell you have noted is due to bacterial growth. Some bacteria can develop in fuel during storage. This is a major concern in military and civil aviation where they have large safety storage, tackled by using specific bactericide additives. If your tank is cont...

Certainly a concern for those who are in the trade or who bought their car(s) as an investment or short time owning, less of a concern for the rest. :swerve:

Re: Furred up waterways/overheating

Tim are you relying on the gauge readings or you have checked the effective temperature with a heat gun? Température gauge could really be reading higher than reality.
