OTT: Would you rather... (10-21-2025)

Off-Topic Tuesday 10/21/25 - Would you rather...

Would you rather your Goblin magically cleans itself after every drive, or magically refills the tank every morning? One line on why.

I'd rather have a magically refilling tank. I picked up the new Ryobi automotive high flow pressure washer kit and I can get my car nearly as clean as I like it to be faster than I can fill the tank. That's just me, though, I never got into figuring out why I can only dribble fuel into my car.

This new electric pressure washer really is the bees knees for my usage, which is primarily car washing. I've used better wands/guns and hoses and foam cannons, but for a single kit at only $150, it's hard to beat. Depending on how dirty my car is, I'll either just hit it with straight water, or a quick foam cannon over the hood and the exterior-most body, quick mitt, and an easy rinse.

I think I need to remove the baffle inside the fuel filler neck, but cutting a few minutes out of my fill-up will only deprive my pump neighbors from chit-chatting which I don't mind.

Clean itself. It’s a ginorus pita to wash (correctly). You see everything so everything has to be cleaned: inside wheels, suspension, engine, fuel tank, interior (that you can’t really get wet)…..everything.

Clean itself.

Gas is easy. Detailing all the welded areas, spokes of the wheels and barrels...

What RT said.

Pumping gas is easy, cleaning an exposed everything vehicle is the ultimate pita, especially when you have to be careful where the water goes.

Clean itself, don't drive enough for the fuel to outweigh the time spent cleaning.
