funny but stupid, haha

ok, i took the gas tank out of my 70, still had a little gas in there, so me and my buddy went to siph it out but didn't work, so my dad told us to dump it into my 67, we aren't hardly tall enough to get the tank high enough to pour so we got a funnel, the funnel had a long end on it for like a tranny or somethin, so we stick that in there, then we finally give up and pull the funnel out, and guess what.............the long end of the funnel decided to stay in the gas tank, so now when i get low on gas i can hear this piece of aluminum on the bottom of my tank when i turn a corner, guess i will never run out of gas this way since i can hear when it gets low, haha


stupidity gets the best of me sometimes.

I would try to fish it out with a long stiff piece of copper wire.

You ought ta hear my beater 71 when I go around a sharp turn. The tank has a bunch of rocks in it! Was that way when my dad got it and will stay that way til I move the tank someday.

hahaha about the rocks when me and the neighbours were younger and didnt know any better we hauled gravel from a nearby gravel pile and filled my dads 53 international with gravel lookin gback now what was i thinking. About the sparks its better to weld a gas tank full seing as its the fumes that start fires not the liquid
