Dave & List,
Kinda like having a bottle under the floor heater in the car on the way to the
salt, from the bend to the access road to the salt, causing the blow off valve
to
pop. Yep they work. Thats what they were designed to do, and they do work, just
next time not on the way to the salt for a record return run......
How do I know?
