6 AWG should be adequate, however normally a range outlet has 4 pins and would be wired with 6/3 w/ground. It might be permissible under codes in your area to leave the neutral pin open (but absolut

Note the description, which says "non-grounding". The third leg is for a neutral, there is no ground. And thus it would be wired with 6/3, not with 6/2 w/ground as you have. Here's an outlet you cou

The 4-prong will certainly give you the most flexibility. OTOH I can't think of anything I'm likely to use in my garage that requires a neutral, except perhaps an old kitchen oven for powder coating

I have found that filling them with water and letting it overflow for awhile (so anything that floats to the top is carried away), followed by drying in the sun, will remove all trace of fuel smell.

I'd probably fill it with water, plug all the openings and adapt a Schrader valve to one of the plugs so I could pressurize it to perhaps 4 psi. If it will hold the weight of the water, plus 4 psi,

The exception to that would be if you're only using Cat 6 as a "future proofing" effort, and are willing to replace (hopefully easily accessible) connectors if you do try to upgrade beyond Gigabit E

Which is a bit like saying a Grade 8 bolt is just a Grade 5 made to a higher standard. All it really means is that the construction is similar, and Cat 6 still meets all Cat 5E standards. Not shield

I suspect the problem is that you can call anything "Grade 5" (I had a Grade 5 kid for a year) ... unless you specify what standard rates it. Normally, when we talk about "Grade 5" fasteners, we're

Not in my experience, with the sole exception of tanks that are designed to deliver liquid instead of vapor. I doubt that's your issue though. The mix does vary with season in some places, but since
