Bill started backing the car down the driveway on your way to church.
You noticed something, liquid, on the driveway.

You made him stop the car, and then you two got out and walked up the driveway to where the ‘green stuff’ was.

“What is that green stuff on the driveway, and where is it coming from?” you ask.

You have coolant leaking from your car.

Sometimes a water hose will create a hole and cause coolant to leak out.

Sometimes a hose clamp will lose its strength and let coolant seep past.

Sometimes a thermostat or water pump gasket will leak.

There are several places, or parts, which can go bad and let coolant get by.

Today we will look at coolant leaking from the front of the engine.

It looks as though it’s coming from the water pump, but it could be the lower radiator hose, or clamp.

Take a small mirror and hold it under the water pump, if you can get to it.

There is a small hole on the bottom of the water pumpit’s called a *weep* hole.

Actually it is a hole in the casting of the water pump to let coolant escape when the seal inside the water pump deteriorates.

Coolant leaks from this little hole to let you know that the seal has gone bad.

Without coolant leaking here, you would not know that the seal has gone out and coolant would get to the bearing on the pump shaft and ruin the bearing.

If the bearing gets coolant inside, it will destroy the grease and cause the ball-bearings to run hot…metal-to-metal. Not good.

Then the pump shaft will break-off and cause a whole lot of trouble…like the fan going into the radiator…unless you have an electric fan.

Aren’t you glad that little hole is there?

In the business of marketing and advertising, it used to be that companies that wanted to get the word out quickly to key customers on a new development would rely on email with follow-up phone calls. But with the new technologies available in fax broadcasting, fax advertising has taken over as the advertising medium of choice when it comes to contacting your customers at the speed of light.

Fax Advertising Puts Your Message in Their Hands

A perfect example of how fax advertising hits your target customers immediately with your critical marketing communications is the use of fax broadcasting in the travel industry. With public transportation, time is of the essence. Thousands of travelers depart every hour all over the world, and things can change in a heartbeat. Anything that can speed things up in the travel business can save companies millions, and keep valuable customers from heading over to the competition for their travel.

Fax advertising has proven to be the perfect tool for handling the lightning-speed requirements of the travel and transportation industry when they need to get their advertising in their customers’ hands at a moments notice. For example, one cruise line has 10 cruise ships that set sail about 14,500 times per year. With those kinds of numbers, unsold berths on each ship can add up to tons of lost sales throughout the course of a year, and it can be almost impossible to make potential customers aware of the empty berths at the last minute when a ship needs to take off.

Fax advertising to the rescue! That same cruise line has begun using a highly sophisticated fax advertising system which allows them to identify those travel agents that have been making reservations for customers most recently. The line is able to blast last- minute fax broadcasts to those travel agents, offering discounts if someone want to purchase a last- minute ticket for the empty berths right before a ship sets sail. The fax advertising has resulted in a huge increase in sales as a result, despite the last minute time crunch.

The same applies for the airline industry, where the timing of flight arrivals and departures is tight and quick communication is a must. One small, upstart airline was innovative enough to employ fax advertising to win business away from the competition. When a large competitor airline had to temporarily stop operations due to a strike, the small upstart went into action with a fax broadcasting campaign, quickly notifying travel agents of its excess seat capacity in certain areas and its ability to accommodate passengers left out in the cold by the strike. Even though the strike was over in a week, it was still enough time for this innovative air carrier to sell seats to lots of people who couldn’t delay their travel plans for the strike, thanks to the speed of fax broadcasting.

You may be in a business where time is of the essence. Maybe you have excess capacity that has gone wasted because you just couldn’t offer it to customers due to time constraints. Or perhaps there have been times when your own competitors have dropped the ball, but you couldn’t take advantage of the situation quickly enough to use it to your advantage. If you find your business in these types of situations, fax advertising may be your perfect solution. If you’re interested, test the water. Hire a fax advertising services firm and do a few trial runs. If your sales take off as a result, you can expand your fax advertising instantaneously with a simple mouse-click. Who knows; like the travel industry, you may find your sales taking off and heading for the clouds.

Are you having budget problems? If so, you’ve got to think of the little things that can save you money. Balancing your budget isn’t a matter of finding one big thing you can do to save money - it’s a bunch of little things, and one that you should consider is carpooling.

Carpooling is simple - you just agree between three or four people to alternate between who drives to work every day. The main point of this is to save gas - you don’t have to spend a tank of gas every week or two for each person, and you get to split it four ways. That can cut down on costs dramatically, especially if you work far away from where you live. But there are a couple of things to make sure that you do to make sure your carpool is a success. First, don’t carpool unless all of the people in the car live close together. You need to be close enough that it’s worth it to drive around to pick everyone up and drop them off - if the distance to get everyone together is more than the distance to work, then you’re not really saving that much in terms of gas.

Second, make sure that the people you carpool with are responsible. If they aren’t able to be there on time, every day, to be picked up, then you don’t want to risk it - it’s not worth making yourself late just because they aren’t ready. If you’re worried about that problem, make sure every member of the carpool has their own vehicle available if they need it. That way, if they miss the carpool, you can just go ahead and leave without them and they can take their own car. You won’t feel obligated to sit there parked and waiting for them, because you’ll know they have a backup way to work.
