Problem: Article: This is a model by model fix, but it should work for most cars. If you can find your fuel tank while underneath the car, and you can detach the lines and/or small drain plug directly, this is the easiest way to drain the car. Some vehicles have a fuel test port under the hood to which a fuel tester can be attached and drain the fuel with the special tool. This will require turning on the fuel pump while the engine is not running by jumping the fuel pump relay or using a scan tool. If you have several gallons of gas left in the tank, you need to be prepared to catch it. This is easier said than done, so try and gauge how much gas is in the tank before beginning and have the appropriate number of containers on hand before starting. It is very, very hard to plug the tank back up while it is draining, so don't plan on stopping until the job is done. The fuel tank is a large, solid metal container on the same side of your car as you fill up gas on. Use your gas door as a gauge -- it is usually underneath the passenger-side seat. Make sure your pan is directly under the plug. This plug is simply a small bolt screwed directly into the tank. Opening it simply creates a hole for gas to drain out. You usually need a spanner or socket wrench to remove it. However, not all vehicles will have this drain plug. If you see the fuel lines, which are small, removable hoses underneath the tank, you can use these as well. However, you must turn the car on and off, repeatedly, to force the gas out of the tank, as it uses the electric fuel pump to to all the work. This will take a long time, up to several minutes per gallon, so you should keep an eye on it. Make sure to have more than enough drain pans to catch all the drained fuel and to make sure no fuel is spilled onto the ground. Take care to get the plug hooked up again properly, especially if you disconnected the fuel lines. Once everything is hooked back up, you're good to go.
Summary: Know that not all fuel tanks can be drained directly. Place a pan or receptacle underneath the drainage plug. Get under the car and find the drainage plug. Unscrew the drain plug and let the fuel drain. Replace the drain plug tightly and refill your car.

Problem: Article: When a child is more comfortable learning in a certain style, they will also be more expressive through that same style. For instance, auditory learners express themselves best through words. At times, it may seem as if auditory learners aren't paying attention because they are always trying to talk over you. Kids who are auditory learners also have a tendency to read out loud instead of quietly to themselves. Visual learners are more apt to express themselves and reveal their emotions through facial expressions, and may seem to be always watching others' faces. By watching others, a visual learner is actually storing these images for future use. Kinesthetic learners express themselves through body language, and may seem unable to keep their hands to themselves. They often imitate others, particularly when it comes to movement (such as hand gestures and walking style). Also, these types of learners don't worry about getting their hands dirty. They like to touch everything, including people and objects. A child's primary learning style is also normally reflected in their interests. For instance, auditory learners usually show an interest in music and sounds. They may be able to remember all the words to numerous songs, while possibly struggling to remember what they just read in a book. They may be easily distracted by noises and loud sounds, usually find games and activities far more exciting when music is involved, and probably love music class in school. Visual learners often have interests both in reading and watching TV, due to the common thread of visual stimulation. They may also enjoy looking at photographs and other interesting objects. Visual learners often have extensive vocabularies (due to their time spent reading) and may have imaginations that are equally large. Look for an interest in physical activities with kinesthetic learners. They like to do everything from swimming and running to playing baseball or basketball. Gym or art class may be kinesthetic learners' favorite subjects, as they are able to keep their hands busy. These types of learners also enjoy games, but often can't sit still long enough to read. We all draw from our strengths when attempting to solve problems, so kids tend to utilize the attributes that correlate to their learning styles. Auditory learners tend to talk through and discuss possible solutions to problems, for instance. You may hear them mumbling to themselves as they tackle homework assignments, or they may ask you to help talk them through a tough math problem. Visual learners use their eyes to solve problems, which means they quickly notice if something is out of place or amiss. They often excel at matching games or anything that tests their ability to look at something and identify changes at a later point in time. They also tend to keep a neat and tidy room, as they are quick to observe things that are out of place. Kinesthetic learners will usually try to solve problems with their hands. For instance, they may count with their fingers while trying to solve math problems. They often like flash cards as a learning tool, since they can interact with and touch the cards. They often love science projects and building contraptions meant to do a specific task.
Summary: Watch how your child expresses themselves. Consider your child's interests. See how your child solves problems.

Problem: Article: Wood is a natural decoration that adds to your aquarium's look. Algae that grows on the surface of wood can provide food for certain kinds of fish. Driftwood is a popular choice because of its twisting shape. You can sew carpet moss onto a piece of driftwood to combine wood and plant life, making the tank more resemble a natural underwater habitat. Boil any structure you plan to put in the tank in water before introducing it to your tank. Boiling will sterilize your wood or rock to make it safe for your aquarium. Boiling wood will kill any bacteria on it and remove tannins that can stain the water. Fish will also often hide behind rocks. Rocks have a variety of shapes and colors, so you can look for rocks that you think add to your overall theme. Choose rocks that speak to your sense of style. Avoid having large rocks directly touch the glass. Over time, the rocks may damage the glass, causing stress fractures or cracks. After boiling rocks, soak them overnight and then brush them to remove loose particles. These can include the typical castles and pirate treasure, or you can go for something more imaginative. Consider getting a few decorations in different sizes to provide different territories. Like plants, structures give fish hiding places that they enjoy. Some structures can add oxygen to the water. Be very careful when buying decorations with holes or small spaces. While these can be ideal hiding places for smaller fish, larger fish can become stuck and get injured or even die trying to get out. Be sure any hole or archway is significantly larger than your largest fish. If you have young fish, keep in mind their full grown size when picking out such decorations. Experiment with the placement of your decorations to find something that is aesthetically pleasing to you. Having one main decoration that is larger than everything else can provide a good focal point, but also make sure it won't crowd your tank. Balance items with empty space. If one side of your aquarium is going to face a wall, consider attaching a background to it. These simple sheets of plastic can be bought at any pet store, and come printed with beautiful pictures, from undersea plants to deserts. A simple black background will lend a very professional look, hiding cords and tubing and making the colors in your aquarium stand out, especially if you have a lot of plants. If your aquarium is looking a little sparse, a background printed with plants or coral reefs can give the impression of a much lusher environment. Choose a background that fits your theme. An image of a coral reef suggests a natural space. You could go in the other direction with something like a space-themed background if you want a more unique theme. Measure your tank before going to the store, and buy a piece at least 1" longer than your tank to account for uneven edges. When you get home, cut it down to the proper size and tape it to the outside of the back of your aquarium.
Summary:
Decorate your tank with wood to provide hiding space and a potential food source. Decorate your tank with rocks to make the landscape at the bottom of the tank more interesting. Add some artificial decorative elements for a more fantastical look. Arrange the items in the tank artfully without overcrowding the space. Purchase a background to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the aquarium display.
