Fuel filter change
changed the fuel filter on the olds today. this site has made me more aware of conservation, so i tried a "mod" on this endeavor.
usually, i just put rags and newspaper down to absorb the spillage. today, i had a measuring cup ready to catch it. both the bleeder valve(pressure valve) and filter/fuel line yielded close to 16 oz of what would normally be waste.
obviously the spilled gas was put back into the tank. this might be standard procedure for some of you, i just never thought to do it before. hopefully others will follow suit.
imagine 16 oz multiplied by millions of cars @ several services each over the life of each vehicle. okay, i admit i'm bored. but hey!, why not write about a way to conserve even if everyone won't do it.
