FLUID THINKING

Non-silicone based brake fluids absorb moisture over their service life and braking efficiency and safety is greatly reduced. As the level of moisture in the brake fluid increases, the boiling point gets lower, and the fluid cannot safely perform its vital function. Therefore the fluid should be tested, and the most efficient and accurate method of testing it is to actually measure its boiling point. The Laser Tools Brake Fluid Boiling Point Tester (part number 6802) is designed to measure the boiling point of brake fluid very quickly and with digital accuracy.

It works on all grades of brake fluid, the More >

A MEANS TO AN END

Not all hose ends are created equal, especially when it comes to dealing with modern alcohol-laced street gas and oxygenated race fuel. Fresh from the 2016 PRI Show, Fragola’s EZ Street Hose Ends are designed for use with today’s fuels—including E85, E98, and other ethanol/methanol blends—that can ruin ordinary hose ends.

EZ Street hose ends have a single nipple hose attachment and double Viton® O-rings for secure, leak-free connections. That helps eliminate fuel line permeation, which causes excessive fuel smell.  The hose ends feature a double-swivel design, making it easy to clock the fittings to the proper orientation on custom installations.

GET DRIED OUT

Preventing damp and the build-up of moisture can often be remedied by simply opening a window. But in unheated spaces, such as a garage with valuable cars and bikes, this is not an option.

One of the biggest worries for many vehicle owners is how to keep their garage dry in the winter months to avoid damage to upholstery from the damp, cold British winter. Nothing is worse than returning after the winter, or even just a few weeks, to be welcomed to a musty smell, which is an indication of a damp or mould problem. Simply opening a window is More >
