I've smelled widowmaker air and I think it just may smell a lot like Havi's fart jar.

Speaking of jar, this thread made me think of this picture...




We'll keep this in mind the next time someone has a wiring problem.

I have a bottle of the Lucas Replacement Smoke - I think it may be a Chinese ripoff because the smoke settles to the bottom of the jar if you let it set for a day or two.

Dick, do you have some documentation for the age of the air? How do we know it wasn't recently added cheap chinese air from a harbor freight compressor?

If you attended Truckstock 2012 you would have known just what air really looks like. Sitting around the camp fire every nite you could feel the chill of the air around us and the next morning you could see it. It took till around 10:00 a m for it to disapate. Funny thing is that the air had a chill to it but was filled with hot air if you know what I mean, Garry

I checked into the iron being in PA air - The Industrialogist I spoke with said that I should be careful in trying to identify the source of the air - Seems as if an exact manufacture was known you would be in violation Industrial Espionage laws.
I'm also wondering if the air was installed in the tires from late November until the end of December if it would be contaminated with Hunting Camp air - I know from experience that have 15-20 guys in a two room tar paper shack for a week of deer hunting that the diet of beans and Bologna can have an effect on the digestive system

Ya - I realize now how dumb we were - We had a birthday candle in each room for heat and when one person farted everyone did - I think it was from the pressure wave.
