Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

How often does a fuel filter need to be replaced on a 1999 Ford Escort?

Also, do I have to/should I also pay to have the fuel system "cleaned" when I do this?

Thanks for any advice/help :)
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

:) Thank you... I didn't want to pay to have something done if it isn't "really" needed!

Usually you replace the fuel filter around every 60,000 miles. If the car isn't running bad, I wouldn't pay to have the fuel system cleaned. Just put a bottle of Techron fuel system cleaner in it at fillup. You can buy it at most stores and at Auto parts stores. I don't know what area you live in but if you have acces to Chevron/Texaco or Shell gas, they have the additives that usually will keep your fuel system clean.

While we're on this topic.

What does an Engine Shampoo accomplish? It's a service offered at the local station, but am not exactly sure what it does.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I never heard of that. Is it a different grade of gas or what? If so then it's probably just a name for fuel system cleaner. Techron is supposedly the best on the market. If it's a car wash to clean the outside of the engine, then I wouldn't do it.

Fuel system cleaning is not a normal maintenance procedure. It's more for when you have deposits on your injector tips and your car's running rough. Other than occasionally changing your fuel filter the injectors are about the only place where deposits really accumulate and cause a problem because of the heat there causing the fuel to cook and plug up the injector orifice. They charge $4/gal for gas but don't even put enough detergents in gasoline. So I think it's a good idea to add 1 can of Techron every 3,000 miles or so.

Hi Keto - You're being so nice to me - are you sure you're feelin' alright Hon? :D


I have 73,000 miles on it. I went and had it changed and I had them clean the fuel too. I had a $20 off coupon in my glove box so it came to $100. I will use that Techron stuff in the future as you suggest, thank you.
