"This for a weedwacker or somthin?"

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking about. Good note about the variety of temperatures. Yep, same reason why you cant put cold water in ur car when ur overheated.

How did you make your scoop? or is it purchased? very cool.

recently I layed my scooter down thinking i was leaning in on a turn w/ a racebike or somthin.... aka my spree...haha...those skinny bicycle tires...
