The newest additions to Honda''s GC engines series are the 6-hp., horizontal-shaft GC190 (pictured) and 6.5-hp., vertical-shaft GCV190 models. These higher hp. engines are designed specifically for premium, high-volume, residential power equipment and are now available through Honda Engine distributors nationwide. Both shaft configurations also articles are supplied to other power equipment manufacturers on an original hydraulicpumps equipment basis. As with other overhead cam articles (OHC) engines hydraulicpumps in the GC series, a combination of the world''s first internal timing belt and uniblock construction creates a lighter and more compact package than any other model in the class, delivering an unparalleled articles and hydraulicpumps power-to-weight ratio. Simple construction also minimizes the number of moving parts, making the engines reliable and easy to operate. The internal components have been strengthened through the use of a stronger piston pin, larger connecting rod, larger rod journal and redesigned oil control ring. The GC190 and GCV190 engines meet or exceed articles all 2006 CARB and EPA emission requirements. After successfully launching its vertical-shaft, liquid-cooled hydraulicpumps Aegis engines at EXPO 99, Kohler introduced horizontal-shaft counterparts at EXPO 2000. Kobler will produce 3 models rated at 17-, 20-, and 23-hp. with full production on the 23-hp. model starting in spring 2001. With the addition of Kohler Aegis in both vertical- and horizontal-shaft configurations, Kohler can now provide OEMs and end users with a full range of 4-stroke, twin-cylinder engines from 17 to 26 hp. Honda Engines has added two new higher horsepower models to its GC series of four-stroke gasoline engines. The 6 hp GC19O and the vertical shaft 6.5 hp GC Vi 90 engines are designed specifically for premium residential power equipment applications. The two new engines join Honda Engine''s 4 hp GC135/GCV135 and the 5 hp GC160/GCV160 engines in the product range.

"MTBE articles dissolves readily hydraulicpumps in water, moves rapidly in the soil and resists microbial decomposition," says Jon Hinch, a lawyer with Lewis Saul & Associates, a articles New York law firm that has filed numerous class-action suits on behalf of well owners. "MTBE is 28 times more soluble than benzene. Even a minor spill can be a big threat to groundwater supplies." For hydraulicpumps example, Hinch sites his first client, a rural property owner in Maine. "An SUV went off the road and came to rest near his well, where 10 gallons of gasoline spilled on the ground. MTBE in that fuel made its way into the ground and eventually contaminated the water supply for 12 families," he says.
