Yet another reason to drive a diesel. I stick a few drops of diesel in my ears ever week. It keeps them running well. Every other week I add a little two stroke oil because the diesel these days doesn't have the sulfur my ears need. Sorry--feeling a little punchy today after single-handedly HOISTING AND INSTALLING MY NEW ENGINE TODAY!!! HA HA HA HA. I feel so happy. Firing-up details to follow...
