stoopid fuel leak

   Thu, June 7, 2007 - 9:01 PM
i wasn't paying attention and diesel leaked all over my engine, eroded the stoopid engine mounts.

should have been using 100% veggie oil.
have been using diesel often because it's been easier.
semi-instant karma.

the fuel also eroded a (recently replaced) steering control arm and several bushings.

the whole thing was caused by a leaking fuel primer pump.
though the leaking power steering pump didn't help.

sigh.

it's in the shop, and going to cost about $2200 to have fixed.

anyone need any website hosting?
email or domain services?
site design? web application development? :)

well, tis fixed - i'll get it back on monday or tuesday, when i have time.
and i sold an extra laptop, so i was able to come up with half the ready cash.

do tell your friends who need web hosting accounts though - very reasonable rates and great customer service ;)
