    Talking

    Thanks Joe! Its funny, you should see my maintenace log. I made a special VehiCROSS binder and I keep it under my seat. I write down everything I do to my VX, and I mean EVERYTHING.

    So yes, mileage, plug change, oil change, filter change, PCV Valve, all noted and then some.

    And just another quick update, I just finished changing the oil and took her around the block again, things are looking good. I might go to get some dinner at Chilis (Its a chips & salsa and beer night) which is a ways out in the burbs so I may take the VX out on the highway shortly.

    Thanks - Bart

Keep some 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol on hand to put in occasionally as that's the same stuff in "water remover", just much less expensive.

    If it would have been the plugs you would have seen an immediate difference. Don't forget to note the date and mileage info in your maintenance log for the plug change!

    Question Heet

    Hey, what about this product called "HEET"??

    It is supposed to clear up condensation in your gas tank. Anyone ever use it on their VX?

    It sounds similar to your alcohol method, Joe.

    Since water is heavier than gas is it not rolling around on the bottom of the tank all of the time? Unless we have floating pickups in our tanks I don't think the volume of gas would make much difference.
