My "LBC support vehicle" (95 Buick wagon) has (or had) thick 'rubber' molding all round, roughly 1-1/2" wide x 3/4" thick. The original glue (to aluminum molding) is giving up the ghost ... any sugge

Induction motors (which is probably what your sump pump has) can draw many times their nameplate current at startup ... 3 times is a good rule of thumb but some draw as much as 8 times. I would sugg

746 watts actually, but you've forgotten to take into account motor efficiency, startup current, and phase angle (which tends to be really lousy for induction motors when they are starting). Randall

I don't know of an on-line source, but that number sounds familiar. If you want, I can check my service manual at home tonight (for 80-82 Chevy Citation, but it's the same exact drivetrain as the 81

On this FWD design, the outer stub axle penetrates through the center of the unitized double row bearing/hub. Thus, all the clamping force of that nut (which BTW my Chevy book says should be torqued

So get a decent storage tank ! It'll be a lot cheaper than building a water tower or buying booster pumps. And there's at least a fair chance you can just adjust the switch on your current pump for

However, the ones I've seen at Home Depot don't have air-tight lids. I use the buckets that my pool chemical comes in ... they have screw-on lids with a gasket to seal in the chlorine fumes. Randall

I've taken showers at 25 psi and didn't have any problem ... might be worth temporarily teeing in a pressure gauge at the head and seeing just how much pressure you have under actual conditions. Cra

Yup ! My first choice would be to clean the area up with solvent and smear some JB weld over the hole & surrounding area. To make it really bullet-proof, you could coat some fiberglass cloth with JB

In short, it won't. The area needs to be scrupulously clean of any oil or water. Multiple rub-downs with solvent, including a pass with Acryli-Clean or equivalent (to remove any silicone or car wax

One other thing to check ... winches are sometimes sold where the cable is rated for less than the "first wrap" pulling power of the winch. Best practice is to have the cable rated at least 1.5 time
