Engine oil dilution with diesel fuel isn''t normally a concern. As dilution increases, blue smoke will appear and get thicker, alerting the operator of a problem. As long as the problem is discovered in a reasonable time, no measurable wear will occur When inspecting the engine components, the machined surfaces will have a polished, chrome-like appearance. Remember, diesel fuel is an oil and lubricates the injection pump, which has very fine tolerances.* Injection Fuel Lines -- Fuel-injection lines have a small (0.025in.) inside diameter Extreme care must be taken not to bend or kink a line and reduce the inside diameter of the tube. Any change in the inside diameter will alter fuel flow and affect the timing of that cylinder

"Energy efficiency and passive-solar heating save homeowners huge amounts each year in reduced utility bills," says Emily Dekker-Fiala, office coordinator for the group. "Many of our homeowners came from poorly built, drafty, energy-inefficient rental homes--houses built for copper miners at the turn of the century. These homes often cost $200 to $300 a month to heat. In our energy-efficient homes, heating bills run from $20 to $30 per month." What people need to realize, she says, is that an important aspect of affordable housing is not just the initial cost of the house, but making sure that people can afford to continue living in it.

No sleep, trip ruined, says Red. "You''re already trying to get the alcohol mix right so you sleep well enough, and then to have a bad snorer is the worst," he says. "We''re at Oak Hill one year, and five of us are sleeping in a cottage over our host''s garage. Nice, but tight. The next day we''re going 36, the East and the West, a dream day. But no one can sleep. H.A. is snoring so loud that he wakes everybody. We end up, the four of us, standing around his bed trying to get him to stop. No luck. We finally take the bed and dump him on the floor."

Though light in weight, Airbor magnetic drill has a powerful 1.6-hp air motor and 1,600-lb magnetic holding strength. With its extra rack, stroke length is extended to 10 1/4 in. Annular cutter capacity is up to 2 1/16 in. diam. Geared chuck adapter converts the unit to a standard drill press. The Slugger Air Force pneumatic drill, at 24 lbs, 6 1/4" high, is useful for confined area drilling. The drill''s features include a permanent magnet that turns on or off by air power, a cutter capacity of up to 1 1/16" diameter x 3/4" depth and the ability to use ShortSlugger cutters and frame cutters. These cutters'' geometry allows the operator to drill multi-layered truck frames in a single pass.
