"I didn`t expect that answer. Never considered pulling it off the door with a prybar but it worked. I was about to throw in the towel and take it to my mechanic. Your expert provided installation instructions from repair manual which helped me put in the new regulator... Thanks!"-- P.P.


"This is the first time that I`ve used this website,and I`m glad that you can ask more than 1 question before you have to accept. I`ve been a mechanic for 20 years and never came across this fuel pressure problem before. Moe took me in a couple different directions, that led in the right direction to solve the problem. I will use this website again. Thanks so much!" -- J.O`R.

"I was pleased that the expert took the time to view my video evidence although I still feel I should sue the city and still might give that a shot. .... Thank you. I do appreciate the advice. You really did give me some food for thought!" -- T.W.


"Was very helpful! Actually my wife had taken our dog for a walk ... so we assumed that had set her back. Yesterday we enforced total rest ... and she has improved significantly. Will follow the advise given of total rest and continue the medication (though it`s hell on us ... part Border Collie ... bored and vocally expresses her displeasure a lot :-). Thanks for the assistance!" -- B.H.

"The experts on this site are wonderful! A great place to get some fast advice on important personal issues!" -- K. R.


"Thank you. I feel that answer is probably most correct for my son as he is a very active child and often plays all day in the summer with older children and may be straining himself a little or in the middle of a growth period. I will also make sure I give him a multivitamin everyday now also. !" -- V.H.

Q Original (17mo 29d ago) (March 04, 2009 09:29:42 PM PST) By Customer: h******9

A couple of months ago I moved into a home where a heavy smoker used to live. The walls are stained heavily with nicotine everywhere. I tried painting over it in a small area, but that is not working. What is a good way to remove these stains?



ANSWER Answer (1h 13m later) (March 04, 2009 10:42:53 PM PST) By Expert: wright3

First wash all the walls thoroughly with a Trisodium Phospate (TSP) cleaner. Be careful since this is a very strong cleaner. Make sure you leave your windows and doors open. After you have done this, then prime the entire area with Graham’s Acryplex oil based stain-blocking primer, or Graham’s 100-00 Aqua Borne Ceramic Universal Stain Blocking Primer. Tint your primer to 40-50% of your top coat color. This works the best. The surface may appear patchy, but that is okay. After you dry this for 24 hours, then apply your finish coat of paint.
