Now I know why I have that droning sound coming from my exhaust system. By the way I ordered 8 of the piston return springs. One for each cylinder.

You know whats scary, alot of people probably try and order that stuff.

I used to work in a gas station and i had an old lady come in and ask me to "Change the winter air, to summer air in her tires"

Just curious

What did you do with the other 2 piston return springs.

I can't remember who told me this but here it is. A real engine only needs 6 cylinders all the inferior brands have 8. I tell that to folks who drive Chevys and Fords.

See Ya

I was reading the thing at the bottom of the Tools page on KALECOAUTO. It said (*Warranty void if tool breaks for any reason whatsoever) what kind of warranty is that?



kind of stupid i thought

Warranty?

Sounds pretty familiar actually... <sigh>

Back in the 60's when I was working in a parts store we had unusual parts requests from time to time. I remember selling several "muffins". You know, when your exhaust gets loud you probably need a new "muffin".



One guy had me a little stumped for a while when he asked for a new "thumper". Not wanting to look too stupid I attempted to get him to offer a clue or two. I asked him a couple of leading questions and he finally said "you know, the one that goes thump,thump when you use the turn signal".



On the subject of warranties, I usually tell someone that I offer a 50-50 warranty on anything I sell. The warranty states "If it breaks in half, you get to keep both pieces".



With the diversity of people in this world there must be millions of humorous stories out there.

Who am i to say no to a paying customer?? Of course i changed the air for her, i loosened the valve stems on all four tires, then refilled them with "Fresh" air from our compressor that was made in the summer. I only did it to amuse my boss. It has become a legend at that station. Along with that Bonehead request, i used to get alot of "Check the oil and the Freon too!" As if i can really do that while they are parked at the pump.

Also, "Fill it up UNLEADED, make sure its unleaded" This was in the late 1990's i might add.

I worked in a texaco staion, yet we had a couple of customers, (Old ladies again) who would insist i put TEXACO gas in there car, "Fill it up with super, Texaco please" Like there is a choice?

We had a really nice asian guy who spoke very little english as a regular customer, i always asked to check his oil, he always said, "its ok, dont worry". Finally about a year later he came in one day and said "It needs oil now", i said "ok, how low is it?" he said "the gauge says it is almost empty, see" (while pointing to his oil PRESSURE gauge). I looked and the oil light was on and the gauge was barely registering anything. He thought it was an oil LEVEL gauge. Needless to say he ended up needing a new engine and they voided his waranty on that one.

Ever notice how fule hoses have those "Break away" cionnectors on them so if somebody drives away with the hose it will seperate and stop the flow of fuel?. They are designed to seperate at 200lbs of force. Well, a nice lady came in a Lexus one day and as usual, the gas door was on the wrong side. She siad she was in a rush, so i figured ill try and stretch it over the car rather then have her try and turn around. Well, i stretched the hose as far as i could over the car and just as i got it into her tank, the break away fitting seperated and and the hose flew like a whip and shattered the rear window of her car showering the 3 people in the back seat with glass. Nobody was hurt, but that was pretty embarrassing. We ended up paying for a new rear window and that lady never came back in again. Go figure?.

I had SEVERAL other disasters with break away hose couplings in the next few months too.

Of all the jobs i had, i honeslty had the most fun working in a gas station, i just did it on the side to keep myself busy, but i met alot of nice people and had alot of funny expieriences there.
