Mufflers and Tailpipes
Mufflers and tailpipes are components of an exhaust system. The tailpipes guide the exhaust away from the engine and into the muffler. The muffler reduces the noise coming from the engine through the tailpipe.

How can you tell if a 3 prong outlet is grounded?
=== === Tie the bare ground onto the ground screw in the back of the box then tie green wire from outlet to bare ground with a "wire nut", also known as a "marrette", or with an equivalent kind of secure electrical connector.
=== === <><><> If you must go with a 3 prong outlet, ground the box. I would recommend a 4 prong outlet as it meets modern code and is safer.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Do you need to soak gunite in new pool construction?
The gunite cures with heat. You want it to cure slowly to avoid cracks like in a dry desert. You don't need to soak it, just wet down the sides for about ten minutes, as many times as you would like to during the first seven days if it rains, you get a break. After seven days the gunite is cured and any additional soaking is not beneficial.
Yes, if you can imagine using a magnifying glass in the sun, or rubbing 2 sticks together or even hot brakes on a truck. All of these scenarios involve smoke before fire.
What can cause a burning smell and white smoke to come from the back wheel?
Sounds like the rear caliper or brake piston is not releasing all the way. I would replace this and the rear brakes. It has possibly warped the drum or disk depending on if you have disk brakes or drum in the rear. Good luck.

What causes water to drip from your exhaust tailpipe is it good or bad?
Exhaust leak in engine compartment area?
The first thing to look for is around the exhaust manifold area.This is where many exaust leaks start for different reasons.The area of the the leak is going to be usually a black color because of the of carbon residue left from the burning of fuel.This will be the tell tale sign of the leak.the exhaust manifold usually leads to a down tube that either goes into a pipe that that goes back to a catylitac converter or to a flex pipe(it usually looks like a braided steel hose.These pieces are bad for rusting out.That's the problem im having now.front wheel drives are different than rear wheel drives,because of that flex pipe,fwd have that and rwd don't.Rwd use a donought from the exhaust manifold to the pipe,where as fwds use that flex hose.Now in a rwd car that donought can and will be damged or rust out,just like the areas where the flex tube is on a fwd do.these areas are usually bolted together with a clamp of some sorts so those are the the areas you should look first.
Will 327 heads improve the HP of a 350 motor?
not really......you can have the 350 heads reworked for better performance. Besides, the 327 heads do not have the mounting holes for the alt. and other stuff that mounts to the front of the heads I tryed this on a race motor I built. The heads were just too small. ANSWER You can go to after market ex: Dart or whatever u want, have the cc you want for compression, valve size that u want ex: 202 intake, ported and polished. You will get top performance this way. Match the heads to the engine.
That's probably unburned fuel. The "check engine" light usually means you've got a problem with the engine emission controls. It's probably a faulty sensor or valve. I'd suggest taking it to a dealership to have the engine "scoped".
What causes whitish blue smoke to come from the tailpipe on a Mazda 626?
It's burning oil. Usually worn rings, oil sludge or carbon in the ring grooves or worn valve guides. The above answer is correct. However, excessive white smoke would indicate large amounts of water vapor in the exhaust possibly caused by a blown head gasket or cracked block. Check your oil to see if there is water in it. If there is, it will look milky on the dipstick. Another possibility My car had this same problem;and it was caused by a small black valve to the top of the engine that was cracked. Which caused the engine to suck air in. The air when mixed with heated oil you get "poof" white smoke.
You probably have bad rings. Not a cheap or easy fix. You should talk to a mechanic.
If that vehicle has a vacuum operated transmission modulator, that could be the source of the oil smoke. Check the level of the transmission fluid.
Why does the exhaust smell like fuel?
More than likely it is your oxygen sensor/circuit gone bad. Or Clogged, damaged, defective or faulty catalytic converter; Plugged or damaged pcv valve; Damaged or restricted exhaust system components; Restricted, loose or burned out muffler.
What can make a 2000 Mercury Sable 3.0 dohc run lean?
the o2 sencer, temp. sencer, or the air temp sencer can. the o2 sencer, temp. sencer, or the air temp sencer can.
How can you stop your car from smoking?
It depends whether it is petrol or diesel...If its diesel and is black smoke there is nothing to worry about. If its white smoke it could be the head gasket going, or a fuel problem.
If its petrol it could be something a bit serious like a head gasket, exhaust, oxygen sensors or dirty injectors.
What would cause black smoke to come from the tailpipe of a 97 Chevy Cavalier?
Black smoke usually means the engine is running too rich. The fuel/air mixture is incorrect. Blue smoke is oil burning.
