    Most, if not all, bank and CC companies offer account alerts the customer can set to alert them to any charges, deposits, balances or other activity on their accounts. I have them set for when bank accounts hit a certain low balance and if a cc charge occurs without the card being present...

    Powerful Story

    It is not present in fresh water. A good reason to be careful about eating shellfish as it is the leading cause of death from consumption of seafood, more so than via a wound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrio_vulnificus

    Electronic ignition; the problem was specific to the ignition amplifier. Initially it was thought heat was causing the problems. Folks tried moving it to different locations. Eventually they were updated and no more problems; unfortunately I had already sold the car :( I had the 2+2 body...

    Had a 12 cyl around 1974, a '72 4spd. Wife used it as her daily driver, we made several trips to Maine, not many problems until the OPUS started acting up. It was tight to work on, no issues at all getting to the plugs, it was just two 6 cylinder's they paired up and they are all right up top...

    I used an old electric blanket to lay on. Might not have been the smartest thing to do, but it was warm. Now I use one of these, puts out a useful amount of heat. Still trying to get the new exhaust into the MGB :argh: I bought a car lift, but its too cold to install it :rolleyes:

    That depends on the car. Older cars have a mechanical pump mounted on the block but some older ones have electric mounted external pumps between the tank and intake. My early 70's British cars are like that. You can probably find a diagram for yours with a search.

    Tip Shakedown

    Besides the other contaminants others have mentioned, you run the chance of sucking up water. Ethanol fuel is known to phase separate, which means after it absorbs all the water it can from the air, the water begins to collect in the bottom of the tank. The gas loses some octane as well...

    All gasoline is the same, the difference between them is the age of it and the additives the various companies add to it, although the EPA regulates the minimum amount of detergents they all must add.

    Tip Shakedown

    Depending on the age of your car and its mileage, the line from the tank to the EVAP canister may be clogged or the cannister itself may be clogged. All it is, is a container filled with charcoal that is connected between the tank and the intake and located in the engine compartment. Your...

    Your tank probably has gas; not the liquid kind. Usually caused by running it low before filling up. The air being displaced by the gasoline can't exit the tank fast enough, causing the nozzle to click off. Filling it slowly, not at full speed, usually helps.
