7 June'01/ 11:35PM-Riyadh Ted, Thank you and Kurt for your for your responses about kreeming. I beleive my tank got rusty due to having it drained prior to air freighting it from Denver to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and then sea cargoed to Manila & onto Guimaras Island. Now I want to take a little more active role in my A12's longevity. Also thank you to all on this list for the various maintenance articles and various mods that can be done. I have saved all to floppys and will have a nice reference library for use in the Philippines. Also Ted are they still running the Toomies (sp) 1000 at Mt. Panorama ?
