    The math of the pipeline spills is staggering in the time frame the leaks start and the time the leak is noticed /detected by an innocent by-standard 4 out 5 times and then final shutdown of the pipe when the pressure goes to standard local atmospheric pressure and stops leaking. Here's the...

    I hope your right Tim - The initial leak estimate started at 42,000 gallons the it went to 252,000 gallons - now they are saying it could be 8,000 barrels @42 gallons/barrel = 336,000 gallons. It appears the temporary bypass may be in place claiming 2.5 miles of pipe. The pictures of the...

    From what I understand the area is Quarantined off and they have not been able to dig or evaluate because of the risk of open explosions due to open "ponding" of the 114,000 BTU stuff. There is a no fly zone as well due to vapor ingestion into an aircraft engine?? A 3,095-foot pipe with an...

    My guess is you are correct and this means that Jet fuel is not flowing on line 2 and has been taken over with automobile gasoline. Lets hope they have some great bypass valves and ways to change the configuration but likely will still get hit with the speed in the pipeline and have many days...

    Colonial Pipeline company: Products move through the main lines at a rate of about 3 to 5 miles per hour (4.8 to 8.0 km/h). It generally takes from 14 to 24 days for a batch to get from Houston, Texas to the New York harbor, with 18.5 days the average time. Now I can see why they are hoarding...

    Flush and replace brake fluid at 15K miles??

    Just did some more research on the 200 ppm copper in the brake fluid and apparently the "BrakeStrip" product/test is for copper detection and not water? Not really sure. This is apparently some recent changes in ASE brake "best practices"?

    Flush and replace brake fluid at 15K miles??

    Have read through the original thread and this RE: and it leaves a few questions on the table: 1. Leaf's brake system (Electric Pump) being potentially different from a traditional ICE's vacuum assist master cylinder approach and its potential affect on hygroscopic (water absorption)...

    Uber launches autonomous fleet in Pittsburgh this month

    So many things that have to get answered: 1. How are they going to be able to recoup the cost of the car and the at best (lowest cost in full production) $20,000 on top which is more than they pay the "mule" drivers now? 2. When it gets low on gas who is going to fill it back up. This car...

    Help! Dropping miles fast

    Saw California in the original post - if California is were you bought the car - state law requires: Consumers who purchase a used car for less than $40,000 must be offered a two-day contract cancellation option agreement. That is why I said get it back to the dealer ASAP - Hopefully that...
