Just a suggestion for all with similar strainers, try to tighten the wing nuts equally so the same amount of threads is showing on each screw. An unevenly tightened cap can leak air. Dennis C. Touché 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA Sent from my iPhone On May 26, 2013, at 6:57 PM, Robert Abbott wrote

I have a 350ml bottle of 10 year old Macallan. Even the relatively “young” Scotch is excellent stuff – almost as good a Jura or Glenmorangie IMHO. The small bottle of 10 year old wasn’t much more than $25 or so, so it is not as Pricey as the 30 year old. Now if someone will send me a bott

I wouldn't say it is that rare with small engine. Yanmar engines have a weakness to this regard. The fuel pump is a rubber diaphragm activated by one of the engine cam. Over the year, the rubber membrane can start leaking through a crack in the rubber. When it starts leaking, the diesel goes in
