The holes in injector nozzles are very small and can be less than ten thousandths of an inch. The general principle behind the small holes is the smaller the hole, the better the fuel is atomized. The finer the fuel droplets, the easier the droplets can vaporize. The better the fuel vaporizes, the smoother the fuel burns. Using the proven and cost-effective mechanical design of its rotary distribution fuel pump, Stanadyne Automotive Corp. has announced the introduction of the DE Series of fuel injection pumps. The DE pumps are electronically controlled distributor pumps designed for three-, four- and six-cylinder engines used in industrial, agricultural and power generation applications.

Environmentalists have been quick to point fingers at chip mills for devastating forestry practices. But the industry insists it''s "out of the loop" concerning timber cuts, since operators purchase their supply from private landholders. Industry officials are so infuriated, many refused to comment. The line connecting chip mills to clearcuts and destructive forestry isn''t a straight one, but it is visible. Dean Carson of the South Carolina Forestry Commission argues that chips can be transported more efficiently, using less energy, than large pieces of timber, and mills can utilize the whole tree. But processing the whole tree is exactly what has brought the mills under fire: because lumber is chipped into one-inch pieces, any size scrap of timber will do. fixcarheaterdelaystart With new markets opening up for treetops, undersized trees, and forked or crooked specimens, landowners have added incentive to clearcut a site for quick profits, instead of harvesting selected trees to be cut into boards. And timber previously left behind to continue maturing, or that provided wildlife habitat or eroded to replenish soils, now finds itself in the steely mouths of the chippers. A 1998 U.S. Forest Service report says clearcutting accounts for 13 percent of logged land in the South. And because the chips are needed for everything from rayon and plastics to particleboard and paper, chip markets continue growing. Timber giant Willamette Industries says chip mills allow landowners to merchandise otherwise unusable trees, discouraging forestry practices like "high-grading" (cutting only the healthiest trees). "Clearcutting is often the best tool to assure a rich, diverse forest," claims Willamette''s web site. "Many songbirds and other types of wildlife require open areas for nesting and food gathering."

* Start the washer (Photo 1). If it''s a gas unit, steady it when pulling the starter cord by bracing your foot against a wheel. Let the washer run for a minute to warm up. To avoid damaging the pump: Never run a washer longer than three to five minutes (depending on the model) while the trigger is off* With the fixcarheaterdelaystart washer running and the trigger locked "off," adjust pressure and spray settings, or insert nozzle tips in the spray wand (right photo, p. 30). Now the washer is ready to use.Power cleaning techniques
