Gas Tank How do you disconect the fuel lines from the gas tank on a 91 Mercury Grand Marquis?
I am trying to remove the gas tank so I can use the car in a demolition derby. I have dropped the tank, but it is still dangling because the two fuel lines that go from the engine to the fuel pump are still connected. I have tried pulling and twisting as hard as I can, but I cant undo the connections. I would like to keep these fuel lines intact so I can still use them for the relocated tank.
Quick-connect (push type) fuel line fittings must be disconnected using proper procedure or the fitting may be damaged. There are two types of retainers used on the push connect fittings. Line sizes of 3/8 and 5/16 in. diameter use a hairpin clip retainer. The 1/4 in. diameter line connectors use a duck-bill clip retainer. In addition, some engines use spring-lock connections, secured by a garter spring, which require Ford Tool T81P-19623-G (or equivalent) for removal. You can get this at most Autozone stores.

How Can You Remove a Dent From a Motorcycle Tank ?
Copyright (c) 2008 Steven Magill
You may be wondering, "How can you remove a dent from a motorcycle tank?" It's a good question, and one that has puzzled many people over the years. Specialists in this area of dent removal have got it down to a fine art these days. Their dent removal techniques are just like magic.
How can you remove a dent from a motorcycle tank? By going inside to push out, or by going outside to pull out, either way the dent gets removed.
Motorcycle gas tanks have their caps on the top, usually at the highest point. That way they can be filled to the maximum. Unfortunately, the gas caps on motorcycle tanks are not large openings.
Some motorcycle gas tanks are double skinned. It's a bit like having a tank inside a tank. This kind of gas tank makes it difficult to remove the dent from the inside as you will be applying pressure to the inside metal skin, and not the outside metal skin where the dent actually is.
However, if the tank has a single wall, or metal skin, then the job becomes very easy. Well, easy in the hands of an expert at least. The first thing done is to attach an object a bit like a flag onto the tank. This has a flexible mounting that can be adjusted to any angle, and at the end is a rectangular flag-like card with parallel black lines running the length of it on a white background.
This is a very clever idea. The "flag" is reflected in the shiny paintwork of the motorcycle gas tank. If the tank is in perfect factory condition, then the reflected black lines will all be smooth. If on the other hand the tank is dented, then the reflected lines will converge, balloon and be distorted where the reflected dent is. This is important!
As the dent is massaged and caressed from the inside, using a special tool designed for removing dents in motorcycle gas tanks, the reflected black lines in the region of the dent will become less and less ballooned and distorted. By the time the technician has completely removed the entire dent, the reflection will be smooth and perfect.
Of course, the actual surface of the motorcycle tank is constantly checked as well for smoothness. But the reflections of the black lines is arguably the best visual and actual guide as to the presence or otherwise of the dent. Properly performed, the dent will vanish completely and the repair will be wholly invisible. That's the mark of a good motorcycle dent removal - nothing left to see.
The days of answering the question of, "How can you remove a dent from a motorcycle tank?" by removing the tank, rubbing it down, or removing the paint with stripper completely, then applying filler, rubbing that down before re-spraying the entire thing has all but gone.
Today's expert technicians use paintless dent removal techniques. They attempt to leave the original factory paint exactly as it is. They also attempt to remove the dent with leaving a mark, and more often than not they succeed.

Aluminum Gas Tank Hydrogen generaotr that runs a car?
have been working on this for awhile and created a device that creates more then enough hydrogen to run a car. It fits into your gas tank and it consumes aluminum wire and water. you fill the gas tank with water and with some minor modifications to the fuel injection computer and tubing and slight modifications to the trunk so you can feet a spool of aluminum welding wire (I used a 1999 saturn SL2) and I used a small brass tank for excess hydrogen storage with a pressure gage to stop the generator when it hits a certianl pressure. I found i can run the car just as if I did with gasoline. I was able to cruise the Highway at around 90 MPH with a problem and no hesitation on take off and good acceleration. My question is do you think I could market this? is there truely a market for it? Are there any grants from the gov't for alternative energy inventors? Would anyone be willing to help me? I feel this is the safe way to ahve my questions answered.

Camper Propane Tank can i take propane tanks over the border?
I live in canada, and am crossing the border into the u.s. I am taking my camping stove with me and am wondering if they allow the mini propane tanks to cross over?
um why not just get some when you arrive in the U.S. It shouldn't be that hard to find one.
Propane is a three-carbon alkane found basically as a gas, but it can be readily converted into a liquid and transported. Propane is produced through other petroleum compounds during the processing of oil and natural gases. Propane finds great utility as fuel allocated to engines, barbecues and home heating units. Propane naturally occurs as a gas. However, at higher pressure or lower temperatures, it becomes a liquid.
As a part of internal combustion engines in vehicles, Propane is used as a mix with butane, propylenes and butylenes. The engines also augment the mixture with an odourant called Ethanethiol. It helps in sensing leaks, which are otherwise not detected by the human nose. LPG uses higher quantities of butane in winter and propane for summer; when used as a domestic fuel.
Contrary to natural gases, propane is heavier than air and subsequently pools on the floor in its raw state. On ideal combustion, propane produces 50 MJ of energy per kilogram. Unlike butane, which can be fatal if inhaled, propane does not create many toxicity concerns. Mild choking can result from inhalation of concentrated Propane though. This is caused due to a lack of oxygen. Propane can result in frostbite as it can expand and cool beneath a threshold on releasing from high pressure conditions.
In terms of combustion, propane lies between natural gas and gasoline. Gasoline is the dirtiest combustible. Propane is effectively used as a fuel in cooking on most kinds of barbecues, portable stoves and motor vehicles. The unassuming steel container is fondly named the "barbecue tank". Once out of high-pressure containers, propane vaporises quite quickly owing to its low boiling point. This explains why it is an ideal choice for barbecues and portable stoves.
Propane is adept in propelling locomotives into action. It can be handy for all kinds of ice resurfacing machines and is used for supplying heat and aspects of cooking for recreational vehicles and campers.
Propane is widely utilised in rural North America as a gas providing diverse bounties with ease. It is used in heaters, laundry dryers and other appliances which principally revolve around heating. In North America more than 6.9 million household adhere to propane making it the most commonly used cooking and heating fuel in these parts.
LPG is not completely propane. It is a mix of propane, butane, propylene and butylenes. The concentration of propane can get as high as 90%. This is higher for summer. These statements are essentially true for US and Canada. For Mexico, propane concentration gets diluted and butane comes up as the primary fuel.
Propane is fast taking over from wood and other conventional fuel sources in areas deprived of industrialisation.
Propane's services are utilised efficiently for off-grid refrigeration. In its most purified form, it can take over from Halomethanes and chlorofluorocarbons as an agent of mechanical refrigeration.
It also finds great usage as vehicular fuel. Because propane can be kept in the liquid state through application of moderate pressure, it gives opportunities for faster tank refills and reasonable fuel tank build-up.

Gal water Tank what can i put in to a 10 gal tank of water to keep the water from freezing and how much of it would i need?
for one of those portable basketball hoops
RV antifreeze. It is usually pink and is usually non-toxic, (though I still wouldn't chance drinking it). Sold in one gallon jugs at most auto stores and Wal Marts. Read the directions on bottle for mixture ratio that you will need relative to the coldest temperature in your area.
