What is the legal responsiblity of companies in a chemical spill?
In the case of negligence, on a domestic scale, the courts can order damages to be payed. The courts can imply responsibility and enforce punishment such as in the case of EPA v. Gardner where Gardner polluted a local river with raw sewage making people sick and destroying local oyster production. The max. penalty is known as a tier one offence and provides a max $1 million for companies and $250,000 for individuals with max 7 years imprisonment.
In the international arena enforcement is not binding upon the party involved and only via trade sanctions and embargoes can a nation be forced to comply.

CNN will the BP oil spill come back to hurt us at the gas pump?
It sure doesn't look like it so far. So far it looks like gasoline prices are going down. There must really be an abundance of oil out there. Have we been conned? For years we have been told that there was not much oil left. Oil was about to run out and that was the reason that the price was so high.

1998 mercury mystique and oil and antifreeze is leaking in the same spot what is the problem here?
My first thought was that you may have a head gasket problem. To verify before spending much money, have a compression & leak down test performed on each cylinder. Each should read 90 to 110.

When your oil burner ignites it always starts and stops and starts again in rapid succession?
There are two possibilities that could be the cause of your problem.If you are referring to the flame igniting and then shutting off the problem could be with your burners having difficulty maintaining a unimpeded flame, due to dirt build -up. When the flame goes out and the thermostat demands heat, the ignitor tries to restart the flame and the process repeats itself. If you are speaking of the heat cycle itself being of short and repeated duration in order to satisfy the thermostats requirements, then the problem lays with theHeat intissipator that is located within your thermostat. It is the small level inside that usually has a small pointer with marked graduations the is there to adjust the heat cycle itself.The scale usually goes from .10 to 1.2. Most thermostats work best at.8. It is adjusted by removing the thermostats cover and gently adjusting the slider to the desired level. This can be accomplished by the average person if care is exercised. If the burners are fouled, the cleaning should be done by a qualified technician so that the burner heads can also be adjusted to give maximum efficientcy. Most heating contractors offer reasonable rates for this problem. Signed Been there...done that.
What is the cost of fixing an oil leak in a 1996 Geo Prism?
It all depends on where the leak is. Most shops are going to charge you anywhere from $25 to 75$ per hour. If it's a valve cover gasket, just do it yourself. Personally, I'd change one for twenty bucks plus the cost of the gasket. Same goes for a faulty oil sending unit. If it's the crank seal, you're looking at a three hour job or there abouts. If it's the oil pan, you've probably got a two to three hour job. As I said, it all depends on where the leak is and where you take it. If you're handy, just do it yourself and save a bunch of money.
What causes an Oil pressure reading 80dpi?
You have a problem with the stepper motor gauge that Chevy used in the 02-06? Avalanche. All the gauges use the same stepper motor. They just go wonky and do all kinds of weird things.
