How can I get out a stuck oil drain plug?
I just bought a truck with high milage and it appears noone has changed the oil in a pretty long time. The drain plug won't budge for anything. I have wrenched it till it's nearly stripped out and I don't want to keep doing it till it's rounded off. Are there any tricks I can try?
Weld a new nut on top of the old plug so you can get a socket on the new nut and put an impact to it. It should come off.

How to Clear a Clogged Sink Drain
Accumulated debris such as hair, food, soap residues and grease on the drain could cause a sink to clog. Aside from it causing a headache, it may even cause more problems if not taken cared of right away. Cleaning a clogged sink drain is actually not that difficult to do. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of ways to unclog a sink drain. Here are some tips on how to do that.
Tip # 1. Use baking soda and vinegar.
Put some baking soda on your sink (about a tablespoon will do) and then pour in about one-fourth cup of vinegar into the sink drain. Let it stand for about 20 to 30 minutes to let the chemicals react together. After that, pour in some hot water into the sink drain to remove build-ups and any foul odors. The hot water would help a lot in eliminating the grease and other build-up sticking on the drain.
Tip # 2. Use a commercial chemical cleaner.
You could also buy a commercial chemical sink drain cleaner to fix a clogged sink. You have to be careful though when using such cleaners because it contains chemicals that could be dangerous if not used properly. In addition, you also have to avoid using strong chemical cleaners when you have plastic drain pipes as it could damage the pipes.
Tip # 3. Seek the help of a plumber.
If the problem can't be fixed by any of the tips above, you might want to consider seeking the help of a plumber. A plumber could troubleshoot the root of the problem and fix it. You could visit the Top Tradespeople website to search for professional plumbers who would be much more than willing to do the job for you.
Preventing a clogged sink drain is much easier than trying to fix a clogged one. Try to avoid dumping debris on the drain to avoid clogging your sink. As a final tip, try to pour in some hot water into your sink drain at least once a week. This would help prevent build-up which causes clogged sinks.

Will it be ok to vacuum the condensent drain fairly close to the unit?
I have a restricted condenasent drain I think as I am getting overflo from the unit. The distance is about 35 feet from the unit to where it drains at. Not having any luck vacuuming from there and I think the blockage is near the unit or in it so I want to try it from a few feet away as long as it wont damage anything.
This is on my homes HVAC unit which is mounted on the roof of a two story home. Im getting water inside the home from the unit.
Perfectly fine. If you have access to compressed air, that might work even better. Condensate drains, being made mostly of one of the plastic type of pipes, would be fairly inexpensive to totally replace in a worst case scenario, but it is VERY unlikely that will be necessary.

Do you need to drain your fuel tank when replacing a fuel filter?
I have a 2003 buick century and was wondering if I need to drain my fuel tank before I replace the fuel filter...
I have already pulled both the fuel pump fuse and relay. I dont want to disconnect my fuel lines and have gas draining all over the ground or something!
No. If you pull the fuel pump fuse, and then run the car until it dies, you will have some fuel spill out, but very little. This procedure is done mostly so it is not under pressure, as opposed to any concern about the volume of fuel that will spill out. Although it will be less, there will still be some. A decent sized rag will usually soak it all up without it even hitting the ground, if you run the car out of gas.
