Advice on CAR, Immunox, and Copper
Comments (6)Chuck: The Immunox shouldn't harm your bees as long as it isn't IMMUNOX PLUS which also contains an insecticide. Make certain of that first if your bees are active. Are your trees flowering? I doubt the liquid copper stuff is doing a darned thing for the CAR and if the concentration is too high, it can burn foliage. I use Immunox and find it to be very effective. Some folks spray it once around pink I think and a second time at petal fall and get good control. Others like me spray once at 1/2" green stage and repeat at 7 - 10 day intervals through the last spray at petal fall. To be certain, if your galls haven't started sporulating (yours sound like they have) until you are well into bloom you definitely wouldn't have to apply more than a couple of sprays. For example, I could have saved myself one spray if I had waited until the galls sprouted this year to start spraying. Instead I started at the 1/2" green stage. The galls didn't start up until much later. Next year I'll do better. Immunox has post-infection activity for up to about 96 hrs. max. meaning if the tree is infected and you apply within that time frame it should do its job. If you are wondering about bud growth stages, I.E. 1/2" green, look at the link below. Pest control actions are often based on those stages. Hopefully, others will chime in on this for you.

Comments (7)OK. Here's the update. I did check my manual and it said that I could use different blends of fuel but it said that the alcohol content should be no more than 10%. But, it did say I could use different blends so I think that is a plus. It gave a bunch of other requirements and numbers, but I'm focusing on the fact I could use different blends as a good thing. I am really confused by the bio-diesel or e-85 thing. I probably misread something on the pump but at newer Meijer stations they do have both sometimes. I checked their website and the one I went to does have both. But on the pump it said bio-diesel in green on top. But lower on the pump there was a sticker and I swear it had an e85 on it and said something about a low sulfer (I think it said sulfer) fuel. But, that was half an hour away from home and so I can't really be too sure which one I used since the station had both. I don't understand why the pump said bio-diesel and had a sticker with E85 on it. Like I said, it was late and I was obviously not focued too much since I pulled up to the wrong pump in the first place. But since the top of the pump said bio-diesel then I'm going to go with it being bio-diesel which I know means that it doesn't really matter that my car can use different blends. But, I drive a 2004 Beetle so it is fairly new and in very good condition. But, I did dilute it right away with half a tank of regular unleaded. Then I filled up and drove it the following morning for about half an hour. I got a bottle of fuel system cleaner and put in and drove it down to half a tank. I'm going to fill up again today and drive it down to another half a tank and fill it again and put in another bottle of the fuel system cleaner and then drive it until it's at about a quarter of a tank and then fill up and hope it's all out of the system by then. Good plan or no? And just to refresh, I did only put in a little under a gallon of whatever it was and immediately dillute it. And so far, there has been absoultely nothing out of the ordinary. No smoke, no odd sounds, no smells, no driving hard, starting up just fine. But thank you all for your advice! ps. Does anyone know if a bio-diesel nozzle is the same as a regular diesel nozzle? I'm hoping that you are right, John G, and that a diesel nozzle shouldn't have fit in my tank. But the nozzle looked like any other nozzle and went in the tank just fine. So, I'm glad I noticed the signage on the tank pretty quickly. I feel like such an idiot about this whole thing....See MoreAdvice on car problem
Comments (7)Posted by: JemDandy (My Page) on Fri, Aug 5, 05 at 7:18 Possibilities 1. Fuel filter..... I disagree, just a service item , due to be changed at 50 to 100K miles !! 2. Ignition module heating up and failing. Could be the cam shaft position sensor or crank (flywheel) sensor. .......This heat is hard on coils, transformers, computers.Temperatures are too high under the hood. Styling? running amok over common sense engineering......See MoreNeed advice, a car hit my house
Comments (3)Have you contacted your homeowner's insurance? If not that should be your next call. They will step in and make sure the driver's insurance pays, but liability limits are often not all that large on cars. Many people would be in real trouble if they hit a Bentley or other very expensive car (the owners usually have uninsured/under-insured coverage for just this case). If you are liable for more than the policy amount, then you may be on the hook for the balance. How it proceeds depends on how much money it is and how much the insurance company thinks they can try to squeeze out of you. A judgment against someone with no assets that can be attached is not worth all that much (think 'law suit proof')....See Moreworthy
