If the existing structures have a maximum loading then the only option is to restrict the number of vehicles by enlarging parking space sizes

More likely that the wiring to the sensor is failing - every time you open the passenger door the wiring flexes, and it time it will fail.
Pull back the rubber covering the cables at the door hinge ... |

I suspect by "run safe engine" the OP means that the engine isn't an interference type.
IE when the timing belt/chain snaps the valves don't come down low enough to meet the pistons comin ... |

Just a guess, trailer brake overheats, hub cooks, trailer tyre sets fire, the rest is messy.
The fire fighters (firemen?) are seen to be putting the fire out with traditional hoses, if the lithium ... |

Forget snake oil.
Fit a drain plug and change the oil every time you change the engine oil - mine was good as new after 185,000+ miles.
Sucking the oil out will leave the metal filings in the bott ... |

The problem is that the existing pump does two jobs.
1- transfers the fuel out of the tank to the engine - actually sucks it out.
2- boosts the pressure to 24,000 PSI (1,600 bar).
So an electric ... |
