Harry,
Wasn't that you who said you were contemplating selling YoHo due to the high cost of fuel? I am sure it is archived in Google. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

Anyone who calls himself a sailor has been waiting for this. I believe Herring said he had taken up golf, because he didn't want to pay for gasoline for his boat. I thought that pretty funny, because when he does go out, he rarely "boats" more than a few miles from the entrance of the harbor he uses. Probably burns five gallons per trip. -- - - - George W.

Don't forget all the gas he guzzles with that yellow V8 Ford Mustang. If he traded that for a Camray or Accord, he could boat to his hearts delight. |

Harry,
Since JohnH has you filtered, why do you always respond to his posts. :) "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

"*JimH*" wrote in message ... .............I guess I am not like the grasshopper ( http://tinyurl.com/ds5ss ). Although I hate to discuss winterizing now I was wondering if anyone used one of these ( http://tinyurl.com/d69nj ) to flush and winterize their engine(s). They retail for over $50. I was thinking of making my own (I already have the hose and 5 gallon plastic tank). For an extra $5 in parts I am in business. I have always drained my engine(s) in the past then filled them with a 50/50 or so mix of antifreeze and water poured through the thermostat housing. Is this ( http://tinyurl.com/d69nj ) setup easier or any more reliable? If so, how does it work? I cannot believe how this on topic thread was immediately taken OT. Anyway..........back to the original question: Has anyone used this setup or is it just easier to drain the engine then draw a 50/50 antifreeze/water mix via muffs from a 5 gallon pail? |
