So as long as there is no corrosion..then diesel can last for how long?

I've got some cans of diesel, they are in the US military jerry can. I don't know the exact time thay have been there, but I imagine it cannot be more than a year. Would it be safe to use? And not clog up my engine.. It if is not then, could I get it cleaned domestically...? Chris

where can I get a new thermocouple? or clean the injector?

I have a Lennox G1102-82-4T Heat system. I'm not sure if posting that spec means much but still if anyone can shed some heat on the matter I would appreciate it very much! and my toes would also!!! My main concern is that I've had to relighten the pilot light several times recently...

Thanks for the advice! I had no idea that it could be re-inforced concrete, with steel in? I have no idea. Though because its been so tuff to drill into I'm expecting thats the problem. I will fetch a torch and look, as I can't chip away at the wall anymore.. there's enough holes there...

I have tried the search box, though havn't seen anyone with the same problem as I. I have a large bay window, 3m wide. Over the bay window is what I've been told is a Lintal. There's plaster roughly 10mm into the wall, then as far as I know its concrete but feels more like drilling into...

Thanks Scrit for the helpful links and advice on making supports :) Safe working guides are always welcome! Chris

I was thinking about buying a detector but when finding reviews..most of them seem pretty rubbish.. but still could be life saving with mains

any good? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=50917&ts=54499# For a buget table saw. Or http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=060610751&r=2124&g=116 Or I've just seen the Ryobi 1525 10" Table saw looks pretty good.

Is the table saw my best bet? Where do I get infeeds/outfeeds from?

I'm thinking on buying a router coming upto christmas and am hoping some sales will be on :) anyone know anything about this one, its on amazon so far for 119 and machinemart for 117sterling. Seems like a good buy but I haven't heard much about ryobi...

Sorry I didn't mention what material I'm cutting. It's a frame for a wardrobe. And I think its's pine, definitly a softwood. But I know their are different variations of softwood so can't exactly specify other than pine. It's approx 95 x 45 mm and at 3m long I don't want to try and cut...

I have some lengths to be cut, approx 3m and quite a few to be done. I would usually use my local timber yards machiners to do it. Though I'm using my carpentry skills more often these days so I thought it best to start learning what the tools are generally used for. Which one should I buy...

I can understand that fancy probably isn't the best scheme to have. But I just reached from things I thought i'd use myself. I understand what gcol is saying, though I will still propose the drill battery level indicator. Basically cause its a new feature.. as we had to aim to design...

As students we had to prepare a design specification. My tutor didn't say anything about cost, so to be honest..lcd screen, laser sensors etc, this wasn't based on cost. However I know in the real world, the world this drill is designed for, there is cost involved. I know I would probably go...
