Marine Grease Repels Water FARM SHOP Maintenance Wess Cornelius Winlock Wash : I ve heard of people squirting WD-40 into small engine carburetors to get the engine started in a hurry But WD-40 shouldn t be used as a starting fluid because it contains silicone which will coat the cylinder walls and rings That will cause the engine to lose compression For equipment that you frequently run in snow rain or mud use marine grease Marine grease does a great job of repelling water and creates a barrier for mud You can put an axle and wheel bearings under water for a reasonable length of time and the marine grease will prevent corrosion and keep the mud from getting into the fittings Marine grease is inexpensive and can be purchased at any auto parts store If the tail lights and side marker lights on your vehicles aren t bright enough and are set inside black-colored sockets use an aerosol can of white spray paint to paint the sockets white Use cotton or masking tape to keep paint out of the socket I use this idea on all my vehicles If you want even more light replace the original bulbs with halogen bulbs If you need an air filter in an emergency but one isn t handy you can use a new oil filter Simply peel off the filter s metal cover and use a stainless steel clamp to secure the filter in place over the carburetor I recently used this idea on my air compressor The oil filter s paper element will let air through just like it lets oil through
