My 59 Catalina the fuel door was camouflaged rather than concealed. The fuel door is where the letters AC are. From the factory the vertical creases were painted flat black, more or less making the fuel door less noticible. ![IMG_2791](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/f/1/f1a4cfc8f19c96376006fa371fd3c9c574f7f3eb.jpeg) ---

Thanks I couldn’t remember where the dang fuel door was on my 59 Pontiac. I think my 68 dart was on the side but who knows? ---

You need to install the DDG browser and use it. Or you could add the uBlock Origin extension to your existing browser. That works really well. ---

I haven’t changed my mind. She mishandled a dangerous fluid. When I worked at a steel mill we had daily safety meetings to head off dangerous situations including scalding. The basic idea is that everyone should consider how dangerous something could be in advance at take steps to avoid the danger. ---

People should think for themselves and avoid dangerous situations unless they really want to experience them. Car racing is an example. ---

What I had heard, from a friend who was close to the proceedings, was that the Corporation found out they could extract more cups of coffee from each batch of grounds if the brewing temperature was significantly increased. The jury was sympathetic to the corporate greed leading to serving at dangerous temps. This changed my outlook on the case as well. My initial view was, what imbecile doesn’t know coffee is hot? Still don’t excuse the stupidity of how the coffee was handled by the customer but knowingly passing it to a consumer under the disingenuous excuse _they want it extra hot for travel_ trumps that stupidity… ---

> [@TwinTurbo](#): > > What I had heard, from a friend who was close to the proceedings, was that the Corporation found out they could extract more cups of coffee from each batch of grounds if the brewing temperature was significantly increased. Bingo! I no longer have online access to all of the legal documents of that case via _Lexis/Nexis_, but this was one of the prime issues. In order to be able to use a smaller amount of coffee grounds, McDonald’s directed franchise owners to increase the temperature of the water to ~30 degrees higher than the norm. Ergo–the desire for a higher profit margin was considered to be more important than the health and safety of their customers. About 700 customers had already been scalded by McD’s coffee, prior to this case, so it wasn’t as if the corporation was unaware of the inherent danger of serving excessively-hot coffee, especially in situations where it is served at the drive-up window, to people in cars. > [@TwinTurbo](#): > > Still don’t excuse the stupidity of how the coffee was handled by the customer That’s why the jury assigned 20% of the blame to the litigant, and 80% to McDonald’s. ---

You do have to download and use it. You remind me of the guy who went to his doctor complaining that his girlfriend was pregnant even though he was using birth control. Doc asks him how he used it. Guy says " I followed the instructions. I don’t have an organ, so I put it on the piano! ---

> [@texases](#): > > I don’t see how that’s possible. Typical brewing temperature is 200F. The key point is that coffee is supposed to be served to customers at 120-140 degrees. It’s common to brew/drip at 195 degrees (or perhaps even a bit higher), but serving it to customers at that temperature is… not safe. ---

> [@TwinTurbo](#): > > There are two aspects; the brewing temperature and what they call the holding temperature. So now my question - why have a high holding temperature? That doesn’t increase yield, and would seem to make the coffee go stale/bad more quickly.
