PERIL AT THE PUMPS

     There is literally no way around it, You have got to pull in to the gas pumps and filler up with fuels
containing more than 10% ethanol. You probably thinking so no big deal right. Wrong!  Although these
blended fuels burn cleaner than pure gasoline, the ethanol absorbs moisture from the air. Over time,
that water can separate and drop, along with the ethanol, to the bottom of your fuel tank. This is when
problems like corrosion, stalling and engine damage start.  So you see, Not only do you have fuel pumping
through your lines but also moisture.
   Let’s first discuss the main issues.  WHAT are THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH ETHANOL?

  • Lost mileage and fuel economy: Why (because ethanol contains less energy than gasoline)

  • Water collection in the fuel and phase separation because ethanol attracts water everywhere it’s
    like high cholesterol in your bloodstream.
  • Ethanol softens rubber and plastics and as a result, you have damaged fuel lines, fuel injector seals
    and even the seal around fuel pumps.

       There is hope, We have the combative to fight what ethanol throws your way. BG Fuel Ethanol Treatments.
We have a treatment for your fuel system that if used once every 15,000 miles moisture and corrosion are just a memory.
You are probably asking how does this work?
     BG Ethanol System Defender® protects the fuel system from the harmful effects of ethanol.
It keeps intake manifolds, intake ports, intake valves, and combustion chambers free of deposits
caused by ethanol.
When gasoline is blended with ethanol, it can wreak havoc on engines. Ethanol increases engine
deposits, affects drivability, leads to corrosion, and eventually component failure. Deposit and corrosion
formation cause engine efficiency and durability to plummet.
BG Ethanol Fuel System Defender® guards fuel systems from the damaging effects of ethanol gasoline.
Added by a professional at every oil change, it protects intake manifolds, intake ports, intake valves, and
combustion chambers from the damage caused by ethanol oxidation.
  • Prevents fuel degradation

Getting Your Vehicle Ready For Winter

This list will help you avoid no-starts, frozen doors and windows, engine freeze-up and accidents. Plus, see our must-have winter car emergency kit. Test Your Car Battery Car batteries have a limited life. Don't wait for yours to fail and leave you stranded. You can check the condition of the battery, starting and entire charging system with a computerized battery tester. Besides testing voltage, a computerized battery tester checks for internal resistance and conductance, giving you a good idea of the battery's overall condition. Plus, the tester also checks the condition of your starter and alternator. Make sure you buy a battery tester that works on conventional lead acid batteries, as well as gel and absorbed glass mat (AGM) styles. That way you can use the same tester on your motorcycle and lawn and garden equipment. Don't want to invest in a tester? Here at Triple T we will check yours for free when we change your oil .  Clean Your Battery Terminals Corrosion buildup ...

Summer's Coming

(Summer's Coming) Getting Ready For The Road  This past weekend my bitter half and I .. Oops I mean my better half and I hit the road for a couple's weekend retreat, It was a small one 500 miles round trip. I put My old trusty steed the gas hog in the garage and decide to rent a small compact economy car . That sucker got 28.9 mpg i think it only held 12 gal though..  Anyway enough of the ramblings of an old man..  When I picked it up the tire light was on and no washer fluid. So that got me thinking . How many times do we hit the road without checking the small stuff? Here are a few things we need to check before starting the great adventure. 1.  CHECK THE TIRES I always check the tires: the air pressure and the tread before going on a trip.  Check the weather, too, because you need your tires to hold up in the rain (summer rainstorms can come out of the blue, but try to be prepared.)   Do it a few days in advance, that way you can either fix your tir...

No Bump No Grind Why Change Struts When They Ride Fine

-
 This is a question we all have heard after recommending replacement of the your  struts and/or shock absorbers on a vehicle. This recommendation is usually made based on a visual inspection of your vehicle's suspension components it could be your shocks , struts or the front steering system. Most Manufacture's recommend that you replace shocks and struts at around 100,000 miles or sooner depending on the driving conditions of your area, coupled with the driving style of the principle driver, will determine how long these parts will perform satisfactorily. During the inspection, we  will be looking for signs of fluid leaks that indicate one reason to recommend replacement. we  will also look at how the tires are wearing. These parts are designed to control the tires, to keep them in contact with the road surface as much as possible. If vehicle tires are free to bounce they are not as effective at gripping the road, so steering, handling, and braking are all affected....
