I use polyethylene. You can get it at Lowes by the foot, a quarter's worth should be all ya need. Other people go w/ other more expensive stuff since it can take the heat needed for VO, but this stuff should be fine for ULSD/biodiesel.

I've read that sometimes those tools don't work too well, and IME a small screw driver isn't springy enough and can break the plastic tines. Or maybe I'm just a DIY fanatic....

I'm not sure what you mean. I know that you can trim/use the metal from old wiper blades to undo the connections if ya just wanna switch 'em around, but as for replacing the wire terminals and/or plastic bits I haven't a clue.

So ya just splice it inline into a cheap extension cable Actually, if you wire a standard dimmer switch to power a duplex receptacle, you can then plug in an extension cord to this "dimmed" receptacle and your installation is nice and weather tight, since it's all inside. The only other i...

IMHO , ALL Rabbit's should be plugged in at all times.---I use a simple cheap light dimmer to lower the jscket temperature on the element --that way they last ---for an eternity.------OK OK I know that Mark Shepherd UK is going to say hagar that takes a LONG cord -----EH ? hagar.

What are the codes on the transmissions?

Does it fire up if ya give it pedal when cranking?

I can just go through the j-yard ($2 admission) popping valve covers next time and hopefully snag a few for free. Way better than $1+ from (removed by moderator) and who knows how much from a dealer. They only charge/check for larger parts, so I'm sure I can stick a few in my wallet or something.
