  0 0 Not to mention that home heating oil is not as clean as diesel and can clog up fuel injectors bringing you to a complete stop! You can also use biodiesel in your home heating furnace too. Oreilly7 commented 10 months ago

  How can I help a friend who is a hypochondriac? (among other things)

  1 0 Unfortunately you can't do much about her being a hypochondriac. At best what you have is a friend with a serious problem who will not change until she hits bottom. Problem is those who hit bottom usually take those closest to them right down with them! Your friend has a much more serious problem than hypochondria! I tried being where you are now and I had to give up on the friendship because what we really had was more like a co-dependency. I cannot live like that any longer.

  Advice on getting a cheap car?

  0 0 I would recommend a car with a diersel engine! I know many will disagree with me on this one, but diesel engines are not popular even though they are very reliable. Meaning if you can find one your local mechanic can check out and recommend, you will have a good car that will be somewhat underpowered, but reliable with really GOOD fuel economy! A Volkswagen Rabbit diesel for instance can still be found in good condition and you can expect clost to 50 mpg out of these. Do not expect tire screeching acceleration however and if it equipped with a working Air Conditioner, you shouldn't see much of a drop in fuel economy, but accelerating into traffic requires some planning ahead! Good luck to you. Diesels have no spark plugs or convetional ignition system meaning they can be very economical in matters besides fuel efficiency. You can also connect with other biodiesel users as well to help cut your fuel costs. Biodiesel burns much more clean than fossil fuels which is good for the environment as well!

  0 0 The best way is to remove the front panel and expose the evaporator coil. Do NOT bend the fins of the evaporator coild as it will not cool (superheat) properly and you will have more work to do trying to straighten them out with a fin comb, not easy! I just use a 50/50 mix of simple green and water and spray it into the coild with a good spray bottle and rinse it well. Obviously this is something you should do outside! This is a good time to oil the blower motor if it has oil ports (some new models have sealed bearings and oiling them isn't possible). Do the same thing with the condensor section in back and after letting it dry well, you can put it way for the season! Cleaning the evaporator is important because dehumidifying will sometimes make these units grow mold in the cold section, not good to breath. Oreilly7 commented 10 months ago

  Do window style air conditioners have to remain level to work properly?

  1 0 No it's not required for it to sit level. In fact it helps to have it tip backward somewhat so the humidity that collects in the condensate pan as water can run to the back of the unit can be picked up by the condensor fan slinger ring is splashed onto the condensor coil helping to cool it by evaporating that water! It should be thoroughly cleaned after each season though to keep it operating properly. This includes the evaporator section (cold air side) as well as the condensor section (hot air side).
