Subject: gas tank temporary repair If you ever get a leak from a cracked gas tank on your vehicle, the temporary solution is to scrape a bar of soap on the crack till it seals.

Radiator leaks. If your radiator springs a leak, stop in at McDonald's (or other restaurant) and pick up several little packets (5 or 6 packets or about one tablespoon) of black pepper.

In one case that I know of, the pepper lasted for over 5 years. Joseph Fortunato -

Can't get rid of Dry White Polish in those small places around the bumper & windows with a cloth? Then cut the bristles down on a new 1" paint brush until they are just firm, now try it!.
