Everyone that owns a vehicle knows that regular maintenance is essential to keeping things running smoothly. But when you manage a fleet of vehicles, even relatively simple tasks like an oil change can become a headache and a logistical nightmare. But drain plug supplier Femco No Spill Systems has a solution that makes life easier for both everyday people and those in commercial fleet maintenance.
The company provides a specially designed oil drain plug that stops spills and offers a quick way to change the oil of all types of vehicles and heavy equipment. The drain plugs are used in place of vehicles'factory drain plugs and come in a variety of sizes and styles. The oil drain valve stays closed until a special, universal hose is connected to it. Once the hose snaps into place the valve opens and the oil starts to flow out quickly. The technology works with suction and gravity to drain the oil easily and, most importantly, without mess. The oil drain valve shuts once the hose is removed.
“This is the perfect solution for anyone who performs regular maintenance on their own vehicles and especially so for anyone working in fleet maintenance,” says Carrie Hasinoff of Femco No Spill Systems.Gates Corporation Announces G8K MegaSpiral Hose.“There is no mess, no difficult clean-up and no headache. Fleet managers can perform an oil change on their entire fleet of vehicles efficiently while regular vehicle owners can save a lot of money by changing their own oil.” Oil can even be drained while it’s still hot, making it even more efficient.

Gates Corporation Announces G8K MegaSpiral Hose
Gates Corporation, a leading manufacturer of industrial and automotive products, announced G8K MegaSpiral hydraulic hose as part of its new and improved MegaSys product line. The spiral-wire constant pressure hoses are rated up to 55.2 MPa working pressure in all sizes and have been tested to an industry-leading one million impulse cycles. They set new standards for hydraulic hose in extreme high-pressure, high-impulse applications, outperforming any other 55.2 MPa hose on the market today.
G8K hoses offer increased flexibility and shorter overall hose assembly lengths. The hoses require fewer bent tube fittings and can be routed in tight spaces for easy installation, making them ideal for applications found in mobile construction, boom arms, hydrostatic drives, mining trucks, excavators and agricultural machinery. They also offer extended life in bending, flexing applications to reduce downtime and decrease hose costs.
The G8K MegaSpiral hose construction features four alternating layers (six in some larger sizes) of spiraled, high tensile steel and a nitrile tube for use with biodegradable hydraulic fluids. The hoses are available with abrasion-resistant MegaTuff covers and are compatible with new two-piece, no-skive G8K couplings for leak-free performance and easy assembly fabrication.The hoses also feature a color-coded layline, making them easier to identify in stock and in service while reducing inventory requirements. Their yellow layline indicates hose trade name, size and pressure and flame resistance compliance.

Firefighters battled Melbourne boat fire with a hose and a tinny, fire chief says
Fire crews struggled to put out a blaze on a 28-metre luxury cruiser at the Yarra's Edge marina at Docklands late yesterday.Firefighters had access only to a dinghy and a small hose as they tried in vain to douse the fire, which burned for more than three hours and sent smoke billowing through the city.The boat's owners, who had sailed the cruiser from Queensland, had just filled the tank with 4000 litres of fuel when they saw smoke, and flames quickly engulfed the vessel, the Metropolitan Fire Brigade said.
The four people on board escaped unharmed and firefighters tied the cruiser off to prevent damage to other boats.The blaze was extinguished only when flames burned down to the waterline, the MFB said.The brigade has secured $10 million for a larger firefighting boat but it could take 12-18 months before such a craft was in action, its chief officer Shane Wright said today.
"It's not just about buying boats, there's a whole series of training initiatives that need to be put in place," Mr Wright told Fairfax Radio Network.Red tape had stalled the introduction of a new vessel, with two proposed firefighting boats having been rejected by authorities in recent months after being deemed unsafe, Mr Wright said.Investigators will spend today trying to determine what caused the fire.

New Black Fittings For Venhill Powerhose Plus Hydraulic Lines
Motorcycle control specialists Venhill have introduced the option of black fittings for their Powerhose Plus range of braided hoses - ideally suited to complement the understated paint schemes of bikes like the Kawasaki Z1000 Black, Harley-Davidson's Iron 883 and the Yamaha FZ8 in midnight black. The steel fittings are electro-plated for a high quality durable finish and are designed to swivel for hassle-freee fitting. Featuring a DuPont Teflon core and marine grade stainless steel braiding, Venhill braided lines are available in a wide range of colours too, including black, white and even orange.
Powerhose Plus Key Features:DuPont Teflon Core - unlike many aftermarket braided hoses, every Venhill Powerhose Plus features a DuPont Teflon core, which offers much higher resistance to heat than cheaper Nylon lined versions. The lining prevents softening, expansion and loss of shape, and has a consistent internal diameter and smooth bore, for efficient fluid flow.Marine Grade Stainless Steel Braid - wrapped around the core, to prevent further pressure expansion and help protect against damage. Venhill use marine grade stainless, which is more resistant to corrosion than the 'standard' grade used on other brands.
Bonded PVC Jacketing - the braid is covered with a PVC jacket to help prevent wear and deterioration due to sunlight, chemicals and movement. It's bonded to the braid to prevent the ingress of water, road salt and debris.Threaded Swivel Fittings - so the hose can be positioned with zero twist. Many other lines offer no banjo adjustment at all, or require removal and the use of a special tool to rotate the banjo. Venhill machine their own banjo fittings and dome-headed banjo bolts to ensure proper fitment and a consistent, quality finish.Exceeds DOT and TUV Standards: for complete peace of mind, all Venhill braided brake hoses are built not only to meet but also to exceed DOT (USA) and TUV (Germany) requirements, and every hose that leaves the Venhill factory is pressure tested to 1500psi.

Preparing Your Vessel for a Marine Survey
Marine surveyors look for a spotless, well maintained yacht; it sets the mood for this inspection. I've had more than several surveyors inform me that they are able to usually know what they're going to find out by how a vessel appears to be like on the dock. A surveyor is likely to locate those things that don't work and notify the purchaser. If it doesn't work, any potential buyer will presume the worst and almost certainly want an allowance for new equipment.
It really is much simpler and cheaper to repair all equipment before surveying the yacht than to pay for having it done later. In addition, as soon as your vessel is surveyed by a probable buyer, if everything functions, your transaction is just about guaranteed. Then again, a long inventory of non-operable things can often cause a buyer to get second thoughts and then the most you are able to hope for is a far reduced sales price simply not to lose the deal!
To begin with, non-functioning equipment problems could be a red flag for the buyer. If a head doesn't work satisfactorily, a doorknob is wobbly, or something else is not right, repair or replace it. You'll likely take care of most of those concerns yourself, and a little amount of additional sweat can yield great profit when the surveyor indicates to the purchaser he has discovered nothing wrong with the vessel.

When St. Paul firefighter fell into fire, crew leapt into action
It was daytime, but a St. Paul house was so full of smoke that it was impossible for firefighter Jeff Black to see. He was the first inside, and after a few steps, he fell into a hole the basement fire had burned in the floor above.lack held on, dangling above the basement and into the fire below."At first, I thought the floor was going to cave in - I didn't know because I couldn't see anything," he recalled Thursday. "Right after that, the flames came up from the basement all around me."He was burned while fellow firefighters held onto him.
The feeling for Black?"Absolute, sheer terror," he said. "Basically, if this keeps going, I was going to die. I figured I was going to burn to death at that point in the game."Black, who needed a skin graft for the worst burn on his leg, returned to work last Sunday. He's been recovering since the Jan. 2 fire in the 1400 block of St. Albans Street.The people who lived at the home weren't there when a neighbor spotted smoke and called 911 about 8:10 a.m. From down the block, the crew of Engine 18 could see "a huge, tremendous amount of smoke, so we knew we had a working fire," said Kevin Lagos, the engine's fire equipment operator and a paramedic.Deep Down Issued Patent For Loose Tube Flying Lead Assembly.
When Black got inside, "the floor felt really slippery, and the house was totally blacked out with smoke," he said.Firefighter Ian Nash, another member of Engine 18's four-person crew, said he "kind of briefly lost" Black in the smoke. "I crawled to him and I could hear the floor start to crackle and then the next thing I knew, Jeff was screaming for some help. A huge ball of fire went around him. I kind of dove for him and the hose line at the same time." As he fell, Black said, he spun himself around and threw his arms out, catching himself before he plunged into the basement. He ended up with his right leg above the floor, the other leg below the floor and his arms on either side of the 4-foot-wide hole.
