  1. Hi Guru,my good Friend's old Porsche Plastic Fuel Tank is leaking,change a new one costed over $3,000,any idea what Epoxy best for Fuel Tank.?Thanks in advance.
  2. Dear friends I have recently come into possession of some koi and large gold fish, and I am hoping to get some advice: - how do I clean the tank? - change the filter? - anyone I can hire for some professional advice or is there a bro here who is an enthusiast who does not mind coming to have a look? (will cook or provide super kopi and a big meal!) Thanks bros I have put aside some put in the balcony for this effort, this was something I did in my dad's old place and I am hoping to do something like that in future: Some advice on some solar powered lights to accompany this will be much appreciated too, thanks!
  3. Hi, Would appreciate some advice here. Mine is a 2007 BMW 523i. A few days ago the warning light came on with "engine oil level too low" so on Sunday I topped up about 2L (maybe a bit more) of Shell Helix 5w40. Today when my wife drove it home the car started to shake badly, and after parking there was a lot of yellow/brownish liquid on the floor. I opened the bonnet and saw what appears to be coolant oozing out of the expansion tank. The tank cap still looked intact, though. The tank is a genuine BMW one and was replaced a few months ago only. As the car was still hot I didn't dare to open the expansion tank cap. Could this be due to engine oil overfill? But why would that cause coolant overflowing? Or the expansion tank or somewhere in the cooling system leaked (it seemed to be slowly leaking so I topped up with distilled water some time ago)? Could that cause the car to shake? No engine overheat warning came up, though. Any advice will be appreciated!
  4. The footage is very scary. Look at the intensity of the fire. I know some people working on Jurong Island. I hope they are ok. Media reports that it may have been caused by a lightning strike.
  5. ABS, VSC, sharp turns, point spin, high speed drifting and quick reverse. No problem
  6. guys, just want to poll, what is per tank mileage for VW jetta sport achieved. I was averaging 610-660 per tank, after my 60K sevrvicing, im doing 550 per tank of 50 L 60% normal roads, 40% highway
  7. is this true? the manual says if go lower, there is small chance of engine faults and other problems. is this a general guideline? fuel tank cannot be too empty?
  8. Today i notice only one of the fans are working when down to the workshop to check. mechanic say one of the fan motor spoiled and ask me to change 2 motors as the other one will spoiled soon.i told him to just changed the one that is spoiled . was quoted 180 for a aftermarket motor. strange the other one not spoil ask me change also. while changing it they also removed the radiator pipe connect to the engine. after changing, they top up abit of toyota premixed coolant into the radiator and reserve tank . i saw the radiator and tank was filled to the brim. after 1 hrs drive back home due to traffic jam. i pop the bonnet to check on the fans if they are working. I noticed the radiator reserve tank was empty!!! i wanted to check my radiator but the engine was still hot and dangerous to open . so i decided tomorrow morning when it is cold i will check my radiator. 1st question : can i top up my reserve tank with tap water? 2nd question: i wonder how come the radiator was full and the mechanic top up abit of premised coolant but when i reached home the reserve tank empty. any advice bros
  9. Some joker abandoned a loaded tank! another joker found the red button!
  10. Hi all, Has everyone has any rate of petrol evaporation in ur car's tank? I dont drive to office so i mostly use my car night time or weekend. Last week due to one reason or another, i dont use my car at all. Then today i realised that the level of my petrol went down. Not a lot, but it is noticeable. With a full tank, does anyone know how much differences between using ur car everyday and using it only during weekend?
  11. A leak was discovered in one of the fuel tanks within the Shell retail petrol station in Sembawang. The leak appeared to be an isolated case which has now been contained. No one was injured during the incident. The station will be closed indefinitely until the area is cleaned up and the cause of the leak investigated. A Shell spokesperson said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Safety remains a key priority in our operations." Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...bawang-20130528
  12. My 5 years old storage tank above my false ceiling suddenly decides to leak today. I called the plumber and he suggests changing the whole tank. I am thinking that since this is going to happen, I might also get a rain shower at the same time. Anyone know of a good place to get them?
  13. As above, any bros know where to get it from? I have tried aquarium shops in Tampines area, but none of them selling it.
  14. Luckily the sharks were mostly small reef sharks

  19. fuel leaks when full tank right after servicing at CnC went back to CNC and they told me my warranty was over for 2 months, cannot claim. so now either i get a new fuel tank for $2000 or I have to pay $200 for their inspection of the leak. KNN...... asked them what caused the leak, they say dono... will never step into CNC or buy another kia again...
  20. Mr Goh does not seem to understand it is always has been about dollars and cents on this 3/4 tank rule. Although I am all for srapping this %^&*$!!!, the authorities will never agree to it because this means losing rich source of revenue from petrol duties. From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Story/...ory_816291.html Time for three-quarter tank rule to go Published on Jun 29, 2012 DRIVERS of Singapore- registered vehicles have not been allowed to purchase the RON95 grade of petrol in Malaysia since August 2010. This petrol grade, which is subsidised by the Malaysian government, costs RM1.90 (76 Singapore cents) per litre currently, and is available only to Malaysia-registered vehicles. Singapore-registered vehicles can be filled only with RON97 petrol, which is no longer subsidised by the Malaysian government, and its price is subject to market forces. Currently, this grade of petrol costs RM2.90 per litre. Thus, the savings from filling our vehicles with petrol in Malaysia is no longer as attractive as it used to be. Also, the new Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex has not helped to resolve the traffic jams associated with the old facility. The main problem lies with the narrow two-lane road leading to the new CIQ facility from Singapore, which is used by both buses and cars. The congestion affects vehicles leaving as well as entering Singapore. This infrastructural constraint is unlikely to be resolved any time soon, and the congestion could deter Singaporeans from going regularly to Malaysia to purchase petrol. Given the above-mentioned developments, the three-quarter fuel tank rule would appear to be redundant and should be scrapped. Goh Kian Huat
  21. I can do nearly 1000 km in a full tank (full all the way, can't pump anymore type0. I know for sure that my mileage is about 13.5-13.8 liter per km. But the official capacity for my car is 55 liters.... Some how, there's nearly another extra 15 liters some where...... A VW, in case you're wondering.
  22. My guess is the fellow has been charged wrongly & paid someone's bill instead. Must make a point to note the pump number you pump your petrol from & confirm this before making payment at the counter. The most unlikely cause would be his fuel tank has a leak... In any case let's see what the dealer & petrol company response will be respectively. From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...es_of_fuel.html Petrol kiosk bills driver for two extra litres of fuel STOMPer Don felt he was overcharged by a petrol kiosk in Bedok on Monday (Mar 12). According to the STOMPer, his car can only take in 45 litres of fuel but he was billed for over 47 litres of fuel. The STOMPer wrote: "I went to pump petrol into my Volkswagen polo 1.2 TSI and got a rude shock when the bill came up to $110! "Never have I had such an expensive petrol bill before. "As the receipt shows, 47.62 litres was pumped into my car, which only has a 45-litre tank. "Furthermore, my digital fuel meter gauge still showed about a quarter tank left when I was at the petrol station. "I am definitely bringing this up with ESSO and Volkswagen."
  23. Just a caution for brothers trying to enter with less than 3/4 tank. Noticed recently they've been checking cars entering. Went in twice for supper (after 11pm~2am timing).....once on weekday and once on weekend. Once i was asked to stop for a quick peek probably at my fuel meter (weekend) and another time the car in front of me was asked to stop for a sec probably to check. Not too sure if they checked randomly but just a word of caution for those whom tries.
