Cracked Eggs And Sugar Cubes, Debunking Engine Myths

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had a radiator leak in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever heard about using an egg to temporarily stop the engine leak and get you to a mechanic? It does work, although only temporarily and only for very minor pinholes or the tiniest cracks. After consulting with a master mechanic, it appears to be true. The egg whites will seal very small leaks. Don’t think this will get you far though. Egg will eventually deteriorate and the leak will come back. Additionally, when you get the leak fixed properly, make sure the cooling system is flushed to get rid of all the remaining egg white.

For the person who is looking for a way to seek revenge on an enemy, putting sugar cubes in their gas tanks will not work. It has been thought for a long time that sugar in someone’s gas tank will destroy the fuel injectors and cause the car not to run. This just isn’t true. The molecular weight of gas compared to the molecular weight of sugar doesn’t allow for the sugar to do anything but dissolve slightly and then sink to the bottom of the gas tank with the other debris. The end result: no drivability difference at all.

Jump For Joy! Jump Starters That Is

admin — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000

We’ve all had it happen to us. We come out to our car after a long day at work or a hectic afternoon filled with errands only to find that the car won’t start. Maybe you left the lights on, or maybe the door wasn’t shut good. Regardless, a dead battery is still a huge inconvenience. Traditionally, jumper cables have been the rescue tool of choice. All you need is this set of cables and a second car.

What if there’s no other car around? That’s when it is handy to have a battery operated jump starter in the trunk. There are two types of these. Some clamp onto the car battery while newer ones plug into the cigarette lighter.

These jump starters work differently than jumper cables. The cables can instantly start the car by using the second car’s battery. However, jump starters have their own battery source which slowly transfers electricity over a period of 5 to 10 minutes.

Jump starters are very convenient to have, especially if you might be caught without another car around. Just be sure to charge the battery in them routinely as they will slowly lose their charge even when not in use.
