Dear Robert

Good p.m. I don't need to move the car to get the mower out. And, when I do need to move the car out of the garage for maintenance, I release the brake and let the car roll backwards, out of the garage. In that way, I can start it up to return it to the garage.

For those, whose driveways slope towards the garage, I'd suggest letting the car sit for 1/2 hour, before trying to re-start. That is, start mowing the lawn, and when you take a break, then put the car back into the garage. By then, the fuel system will have re-set.

I use Techron on the advice of my mechanic, who has decades of experience with Volvos. So far, he's not steered me wrong (pun intended).

Yours faithfully,

spook
