All good points. If you have a tray of 100 pieces, and a lab oven with
digital control, you could do a very precise job of annealing the washers.
This is a down and dirty, Get'er Done and close is good enough way of
doing it.

Could a flex fuel vehicle use an 85% methanol blend as well as the currently
available 85% ethanol blend? M85 vs E85? It seems a no brainer, given all the
natural gas the US has, since methanol is mainly produced from that.

methanol is very poisonous, which I suppose gasoline is too, but I think
it has other issues (burns clear, can't see the flame). Might be more

No, unless the fuel system was designed for methanol (e.g. a race car) the
methanol can be damaging to metal and rubber components.
Methanol is also quite poisonous and especially dangerous as it can be absorbed
through the skin.
It has lower energy than ethanol, so economy per gallon is

Realistically any C rated oil will probably provide decent service. I'm tired
of feeding my 240D oil only to have it leak out a cooler line (Q has been
