Is it too soon to talk about winter projects?

How to Store a Car

For many, winter will be upon us very shortly, and winterizing the beloved collector vehicle has suddenly become top on the priority list.

Fuel Line Size vs. Pressure Drop

Fuel Lines

It is important to understand the relationship between fuel line size and fuel pressure when planning a fuel delivery system. Fuel systems can be incorrectly designed if the pressure loss attributed to the length of the fuel lines isn’t taken into account.
