Are You Panicking? by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:56pm On Nov 05, 2018

I closed early from work today, as I was about leaving I remembered the threat to strike, I dusted the old gallons ( used to have 8 of them) headed straight for the closest petrol stations filled up fuel tank, filled up gallons.

Drove home. Will be back with more cars an will find £ore gallons.

I have to agree that I panicked just a little and my MaiGuard has been buying and storing fuel today. the insanity of storing gallons of fuel in the house can only be appreciated by someone in diaspora. These people have finished Nigeria.

Well, I guess it's time to dig and bury my 500 gallon fuel tank. (1/2 diesel and 1/2 petrol) grin

NUPENG said they weren't part of the strike. In any case, the Strike has been called off. NLC people can't do anything right. Sha won't go to work.

But a friend's 07 accord currently has a P0455 Evap Emission system leak detected(large leak) - No drivability or fuel consumption issue, Just the MIL lamp on. I dey suspect the Evap Canister but I told him to start by changing the fuel cap, he has been driving it like that, 3 months now.

I have also scanned another 04 accord with a P0496 HONDA Evaporative Emission System High Purge Flow - Car was stalling after every fuel refill , Purge flow solenoid was stuck open..Changed it and problem went away.
