    In my part of the world, HF has the metric o-ring kit on sale for $3.99. Perfect time for it. I needed to replace some fuel t o-rings.

    Make sure that the O rings are compatible with gasoline. Common O-rings have been known to fail when exposed to gas for a long period of time.

            Got to admit Me too. Will go for the o-ring kit and see what all I walk out with. Amazing what those children in China can do. Say that every seldom time I go to Wal-Mart. And then they go and build one less than a mile from me last year. AAAAARRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              I hate to be the downer, and I will admit I am just as guilty as the next guy, but think of what we could do for our own economy if we bought American instead of the cheap Chinese crap (case in the end it usually is crap anyways).

                The sad thing is that Sam Walton is probably spinning in his grave, cause his big thing was providing low prices on american goods. It's not that anymore.
