There is. It's called an inertia switch, and it's basically a breaker on your fuel pump circuit. It's "tripped" by a hard impact or rollover. It's reset by pushing down the button that pops up...

I guess laws are different everywhere. In my province, any accidents that happen on private property (and any business premises is considered "private property") are deemed "no fault" accidents. In...
Agree with Focker, it's definitely not an aftermarket. Small foreign.
I wouldn't turn these lights down. It sounds to me like your stepdad could be a good future source of scrap. If he knows you're the guy to call -every- time, and you come do every pickup in a...
I do my own oil changes because that way I know the products I wanted were used; I know the work was done correctly; and I use the time to also do a chassis lube, as well as inspect everything...
Just a couple points. First, I'm not sure what your family's shop charges for an oil change, but locally it's around $40. I just did one myself for $24, and that's using a slightly more expensive...
Most buyers will grade the BMW cat as exotic, or possibly extra large foreign if they don't have an exotic category. It has 3 separate honeycomb "biscuits" (some similarly-sized BMW/Mercedes cats...
Unless of course you're talking about the rock band Zee Zee top.
Actually the entire battery is recycled, including the plastic and acid.
Looks like galvanized inside to me.
Possibly when you call in you just get quoted their "regular" rate, whereas when you show up you are recognized as a regular customer, and get a better deal. That's my guess anyways.
Kitty litter made from bentonite clay. The same stuff floor dry is made from. I use dry cement powder for pulling up oil spills out of concrete, never tried it on pavement though. (don't know what...
The differences in dealing with refilling the tanks in various areas are interesting. In my province, the bottles are only refilled by the company that has their name stamped into the bottle. If a...
Hmmmm maybe he was really practicing his bowing and curtsying
First off, most if not all of your questions have already been answered, other than perhaps location-specific pricing. Go through older posts and you'll find all your answers. But some quick...
Way to go on the truck, nice when you make decent money right away on it without having to wait. While the truck might have been a quick easy fix and a fast sale, it may also have grenaded the motor...
For vehicles/equipment that are without wheels or can't roll freely for whatever reason I use round fence posts and use them underneath the car or whatever as rollers. Sort of like how the Egyptians...
If you regularly haul lots of weight, then diesels really shine. Watching your gas truck drop from 14 mpg or so down to 8 makes diesels look pretty good. A friend of mine was rabidly anti-diesel. ...
That sounds like a great day! You got the $35 you wanted for the grasscutter, you and your granddaughter got to spend more quality time together, you contributed to your grand daughter's piggy bank...
Weird. Your steel prices are about $20-$40 per ton higher than here; your aluminum prices are about the same, and your copper is quite a bit lower. #2 copper was $2.55 this morning, #2 insulated...
Pretty interesting. I love how people swore that the shredder was tearing their houses apart with vibration, etc., but the testing showed it was the train track, which I'm guessing was always there....
Here's the nail in -that- coffin. Don't pay for scrap around here, and you'll be lucky to end the day with half a pickup load of shred/tin, with maybe a couple lucky non-ferrous finds. You'll also...
Why not sell to pawn shops? Around here, they pay $1 for any cd, $2 for any dvd. Just can't be scratched, and it's cash in hand.
One of the yards in town that has a wire chopper says a 45 gallon drum (55 U.S. gallon) holds about 3200 lbs or so. That's roughly 58 lbs. per U.S. gallon, chopped.
