Of course there wasn't a word about your storm on our local TV news.

Northwest Cable News (Our Channel 5 substitute) had a piece on last night.

What is stabilized gasoline?

Gasoline tends to break down with time. It deposits a varnish and sticky gum type residue on carburetors or fuel injectors. My generator would not start until I sprayed in some Gumout Carb cleaner. That did the trick.

Anytime gasoline is going to sit unused in a tank for a month or more, you should add a stabilizer to it and then run the engine long enough to get the internal parts coated.

Stabil:

I'm using Seafoam in my motorcycle over the winter:

Ought to use one or the other in lawnmowers, rototillers, chain saws, etc. over the winter.

(see all the good things you learn from me?)

Have you ever used your land line for dial up when you power is out?

I don't have a dial-up account, so I've never tried it. We have DSL for internet (not crappy Charter). Since we had phone service, I think I could have had internet if I'd had a power source for the DSL modem and router.
