Do you plumb that into the fuel line or do you pump the fuel into the tank from a hand pump? I never knew they existed.

Neither . The auxiliary fuel tank has a ball valve mounted on one end at the bottom of the tank . That ball valve has a 3/8 barbed fitting . You run a 3/8 ID fuel hose from that valve to the OEM tanks filler neck . I have to buy the kit for the filler neck it's about 25 bucks .

So as an example my OEM tank is at 1/4 . You open the ball valve and gravity does its thing . Not super fast but it doesn't have to be . Close the ball valve when the original tank is full or whenever you want . My 2001 is ancient technology so gravity feed works . At some point newer trucks crossed the complexity line and pumps are needed . I like the simplicity of the gravity feed .

Scored these at a garage sale a few months ago, got the two hose reels with air hose and the four jack stands for only $20 for all! I just sent one of the hose reels to my son in CO. with his friend who is driving out to visit him.

Holy moly! That's a serious score!

Sidewalk score.
I dropped off the turbo to get a screw removed from the tire.
While walking back to the shop I noticed a ratchet on the walk, picked up, noticed that it was broken,


But I noticed that it was Husky, a Home Depot brand, a quick google search and turned out that it was has a lifetime warranty

Since there was a Home Depot right around the corner, on my way home, I stopped and bang, got a new one.
Another score, thanks to a friend, with my Mother’s current back issues, I want to be prepared.

Nice score on the ratchet. I had a similar find back in the mid 90s.

What is the other thing that you got. At first I thought it might be one of those things that you put a knee on when you've got one leg out, but then I noticed it folded out wider. I guess a high performance walker that you can also sit in?

Yes, the Porsche GT3 of walkers, something that will be easier for her to take pressure off her back. Can sit, has a storage area for her flask.

A high tech firm has sold their property and is moving all their stuff out and sending a lot to electronic waste for recycling or just to the landfill! There are dozens of pallets stacked 4 feet high with millions of dollars of electronic equipment they are sending off to recycle. I just don't understand why they don't send it to a salvage company instead. I was able to get a few things since I know someone in the know. This stuff below was being thrown away!

Solder Suckers! Never could get the hang of them and the size is really limiting. Give me old school wick any day.

Back when I was multi layer, micro certified, we used a smaller version, pneumatic with heated tips and pedal controlled suction.

The bench supply is cool as well as the Flukes.

Wow! I hear about this stuff all of the time, but I'm pretty much never in a position to take advantage of it. I did once get a free multimeter (cheap brand, mid level) out of a place that I worked because they were throwing a bunch out that had been replaced with something better. That's as close as I think I've ever come to benefiting from that sort of deal.

Picked up some curbside plywood the other day just down the road. It's the ribbed kind used for siding - not sure the technical name for it. Goes for about $45 per sheet. I have 2 full size sheets and some smaller but still good size pieces. Timely score for me as I'm doing a couple small projects here I can use them on.....

^Baz - that's T1-11 (pronounced tee one eleven)

Thanks, Mark - I knew it had a name!

Nice score on the electronic stuff, BTW!

True Temper wheelbarrow yesterday in Mom's old neighborhood. Slight crack in tub - otherwise seems to be OK/usable. I aired up the tire to 15 lbs and so far it's holding.

Wood is a little weathered and some rust on the metal parts, but nothing major. I like these with the large plastic tub!

Nice I pick up barrows alot. Usually they need quite alot of work. The last one I got it a big dual wheel one. I fixed the tires and I still have to weld the frame its a bit shaky but its a good barrow i like the dual wheel ones. Last summer I had like 8 or 9 I sold off most of them.

Ha ha - I probably have like 8-9 here at the moment. Most need some work - but tomorrow I am going to thin the herd!

I will strip off any usable parts and then 86 the rest. Too much crap here!

Picked this lot up this morning. Seller says approx 1200 cds.

$75

[pwd72s]

^Wow! Do you have enough time left on the planet to listen to all of them?

[Baz]

I see "Mr Holland's Opus"! The CD soundtrack or the DVD movie?

NICE score, BF!

Pink Floyd's "Pulse" with the blinking light would make it even nicer!

[berettafan]

Soundtrack- if you want it I’ll send it to you. I think there’s two of them!

I told my wife when I left I can’t wait to tell Baz about this!
