RW>RN> I can't imagine what one man can do with all that money RW> My dad once told me that although he was quite well off, he could only RW> eat three meals a day. And that was before he was fitted with a colostemy RW> bag. He ate a whole lot less afterwards. Wow! I hope I NEVER have to go through that. RW>RN> made at the expense of the average citizen or how it can be RW>RN> justified. RW> Well, nearly all business is usually at the expense of the average RW> citizen. It's how you 'gouge' them that counts. I and my dad always RW> charged a fair price for our services. And that is all the customer wants, with some exceptions. RW> Don't tell my employer, but today a man from the apartments at the RW> entrence to this community came knocking on my door today. He told me a RW> story about how he and his wife have been unemployed since the RW> Owen-Corning glass manufacturer shut down their plant in this area. How RW> they didn't have the money to spend on luxury items (although he had RW> alcohol on his breath) and that they needed their Dodge pickup unlocked. RW> Would I open it and they'd pay me next week when his wife got her RW> unemployment check. I opened it and told him not to worry about paying RW> me. RW> Maybe I'm a sucker for a sob story, maybe not. But I definately have a RW> clear conscience about it. Good for you. I would have done the same. RW> That gas won't evaporate in your tank as readily as it will theirs. Your RW> Lincoln's fuel delivery system is a sealed unit. The cap has to be air RW> tight for the system to work. If it isn't, you'll get a 'check engine' RW> light. What goes to the fuel injector log and not used, is sent back to RW> the tank for another go around. aka A closed loop system. Well, in defense of my statement, the temps here all this week are going to average 92F. If that isn't a catalist, I don't know what is, but you're right -- the gas has nowhere to go. Besides, the service station tanks are in the ground where they remain at a relatively cooler temperature, just like well water. My car's fuel system must be okay because the only time I see that on the dislay is when I first turn the ignition on and it goes out after engine start to let me know that at least that light is working. I also have a push button on the dash that does a system check when I press it. I did that just yesterday and discovered I have 58% of oil life left. (-: Nice to know I have an efficient fuel system.
