3 parts isopropyl alcohol to 1 part oil. Soak as needed. Don't think you should boil this concoction. I haven't or read about doing it. Could...
The contrast in the blue "buy it now" box is not conducive to reading on my devices for some reason. Perhaps update your title or posting with...
Those are two different methods. Boiling (or very warm/hot) in water gets them supple for an immediate install window. The wintergreen oil is...
I have had a used pump act like it didn't sense when pressure was reached. It wasn't over loading the float valves and flooding, but continued to...

General reminder about mix-n-matching caps and tanks. Don't forget there are 49 state and CA tanks and 49 state and CA caps. CA tanks are...
