Eh? Is there some reason NOT to hate W (and by "hate" I mean "sincerely
wish endless hellfire on him and every one of his supporters domestic
and foreign")?
What exactly has he done for America besides mire us in debt, divide us
as a nation, insult our foreign friends, send thousands of American
soldiers to be maimed and killed in a wasteful war of choice, ignore the
pain and suffering of hundreds of thousands of American citizens and
dance like frigging loon on international TV and bicycling while our
Rome burns?
Hate W? You have no idea.

Avoided another anything like 9/11.

That's about right except slightly more gallons needed for E10. I
can't quarrel with 1.03 vs. 1.034 rounded down though.
There are even more problems with trying to run in flex mode,
especially for certain manufacturers. Chrysler uses a crazy system to
calibrate the engine based upon when the vehicle is fueled up. After a
fuel up, the sensor makes a calibration. If you then went across the
street and fueled up with something different, the system gets
confused and the calibration is off. GM and probably Ford use an
actual real time sensor to calibrate continuously. It's not as easy as
dumping X, Y, and Z in and everything runs fine on it.
I had an old carbureted Chevy two years ago. I cleaned out a garage
with lots of old dry gas and mineral spirits (probably 2 gallons on
half a tank). I dumped it all in the tank and drove it off. The
vehicle ran very well and it never caused a problem. That 83' Chevy
had no fuel sensors to amount to anything.

The ethanol money doesn't go to the oil companies, it goes to the crooks
that produce the overpriced and tax subsidized ethanol.

They are taking a risk that you will live a very, very long time.
Meaning that, they would start forking over the money now, and
have to wait and wait and wait before the investment pays off, in
the form of them getting possession of the house.
Sure, you might be squashed by a bus tomorrow. Or you might live
much longer than average.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. No the boiler does not run when I turn
up the heating thermostat. What does that tell us?
> What "start switch" are you referring to?
It's the red button on the motor. Is there another start switch that I can
hit to get the Burnham boiler repaired?

All I'm asking is for troubleshooting information.
Can I get a shop manual somewhere for this Burnham RSM-126 boiler?
