Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: How To Patch Puncture Hole In Steel Gas Tank

Suppose a puncture hole were to inadvertently appear in the bottom of my gas tank? What would be some good ways to plug the hole? I'm thinking a fine thread stainless steel flat head screw that was screwed into a tapped hole with special glue/sealant and a washer would probably work.

You're probably catching on now... A non electric drill would probably be best to drill into the bottom of a full gas tank but all I have presently are battery powered and 100volt drills.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Dropped Wrench Inside The Hole While Changing Solenoid On Driver Side?

I was changing the vct solenoid on the driver side and I dropped a 3-4" Allen wrench inside the hole. I tool the valve cover off and can't see much down inside. Its not to the right by the cams, I think it fell down in front by the timing chains but I can't see it caught on a chain or anywhere. I drained the oil and took the filter off and looked in the oil pan with a snake camera, no luck.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Inner Side Wall Of Tire Has A Hole In It?

Last friday I was on Masspike and all of a sudden I heard a weird noise. So I stopped on the side of the highway and found out my right rear tire was gone. When I took it off I found the inner side wall of the tire has a hole in it. So I put on the donut, went to nearest sears and replaced the rear tires with new pair of tires. Now my question is can I take the wheel off the donut and put it on the other good tire and use that as a spare or do I need to buy another wheel? I ask that question because I figured if I ever get another flat again I can just use the good tire to drive around for a while before I have to get new tires.

Prius (Gen 3) :: 2012 Driver Side Rear Window Won't Controlled By Driver

Just got my 2012 Prius from the body shop. Got hit in the rear where the starting battery is.

Had window control problems since battery was replaced.

Problem is that the driver-side rear window can't be controlled by the driver. It works fine with its own control but not from up front. The light on that windows button is not lit like the others. When pressed it lights and when released it blinks a few times and goes out. I unhooked the starting batter to try and reset things with no luck.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Difference Between Hitches And One Hole / Two Hole?

I've looked at [URL] at the three primary hitch receivers for the 2013 RX 350; Curt, Hidden, Draw-tite.

From the side profile picture which etrailer displays for each, the Curt has one hole and the other two have two. Those two appear to be different sizes. The one on the Curt seems to appear smaller than the larger of the other two holes on the other two hitch receivers.

I called etrailer and the person I spoke with could not tell me why they were different, they just read the specs I see on the page, tongue weight, load, blah, blah.

With my hitch, I will need to haul a Yakima trailer, about 450 Ibs total, it is a very lightweight trailer, or a 2" Yakima bike rack. Maybe some day, I'll need to haul something of substance, but I have no plans.

I'm also wondering if a hitch which is recessed back, will it be difficult to work the pin in and out?

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2004 - Passenger Side Brake Light Dim Compared To Driver Side

2004 Prius. When the brakes are applied, the passenger side brake light (LEDs) is dim compared to the driver side. Are the LEDs just dying a slow death? I always thought LEDs either work or don't.

Prius (2001-03) :: Driver Side Brakes Wearing Twice As Fast As Passengers Side

I have a 02 Prius and the driver's side brakes are wearing twice as fast as the passengers side. Some times if I have to stop quickly the brakes pads continue to apply pressure on the rotor when the brakes are released. After a little drive they seem to go back to normal. Is this a sign of a bad caliper or master cyl.? I know before I purchased the car the front brakes and rotors were done, but they used after market parts

Prius (2010-12) :: Parking And Side Marker Lights Working Only On Driver Side

Late last night as I was puling up to park in front of a dark restaurant, I turned off my headlights so I would not blind the people inside. This is a 2010 Prius III.

When I left and tried to turn them back on, only the drivers side parking light (the small white one above the headlight) and side marker light worked. Passenger side nothing works, however on both sides the high beams do work.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Driver Side Headlights Flickering And Passenger Side Shuts Off

I own a 2008 Prius Touring and originally it was only the passenger headlight that would go out but since I've had it replaced not only is the driver's side going out and flickering but the passenger side still shuts off! If I get the driver's headlight (which is very old) replaced will it solve the problem? Is it a deeper problem? If so what is it and how do I fix it?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - Passenger Side High Beam And Driver Side Regular Headlight Went Out

My 2006 Prius (Model NHW20) has a strange headlight problem. On the passenger side, the high beam light is out but the regular headlight works.

On the driver side, the high beam is working but the regular headlight is out.

I don't think it's the fuses but I'm not sure. No amount of interchanging the following fuses changes anything about the issue:

1. 10A H-LP HI RH
2. 10A H-LP HI LH
3. 15A H-LP LO RH
4. 15A H-LP LO LH

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Leaking Antifreeze - Hole On Cylinder 5 Side Of The Block

We now have a new problem. Motor is leaking antifreeze out of what i will call a weeping hole in the on the #5 cylinder side of the block. The hole, which is manufactured in the block. Is where the antifreeze is seeping from. The hole is located above the bottom bolt an just below the top bolt for the transmission. the hole is on the block. I think that there might be a freeze out plug on the back of the motor block where the leak is coming from. The block was not leaking before we removed the heads for valve job.

Volvo :: Green Looking Patch On Carpet - Leak Around Heater Matrix?

I have just noticed a small wet 'green' looking patch on my carpet in the passenger footwell by the centre console.

Having taken the trim off from under the glove box and the trim on the console there're are some green stains coming down the side of what I believe is the heater matrix.

It would appear to originate near where the two pipes go into the unit. Are there any '0'rings on these pipes and could they be the source of the problem?

Nissan - Altima :: 2008 - Sunroof Rattle When Go Over A Bumpy Patch Of Road

I recently bought a Nissan Altima and noticed that the sunroof area rattles when I go over a bumpy patch of road or a manhole cover. The sound is definitely a rattle and not a squeaking sound. I can replicate the sound by smacking the roof from the inside of the car and it's contained mostly to right above where my head is near the bottom left corner of the sunroof.

When I got the car I removed the wind deflector that's attached to the roof because I really don't like how they look. I also removed the wind deflector arm since the plastic connector to it broke when I removed the deflector. I'm guessing the sun cooked the plastic parts and it just snapped. I doubt the rattle is due to the arm being removed but I added it in just in case. This weekend I removed part of the trim on the inside of the roof and blew compressed air to get debris out but the rattle is still there.

How to get this annoying problem to just go away?

Prius (Gen 2) :: Hole On Top Of The Dash

I noticed a rectangular hole of approximately 2"x 8" on top of the dash, near the windshield on driver's side in line with the steering wheel. Our garage is dark in the mornings, and when my wife turned on the car ('06 model), there was a faint green glow coming from this opening.

It is hard to see otherwise since it is obscured by the windshield.
