Gas hog
I took a little 140 mile round trip in my 72 GMC 4X4 the other day and when I got home my truck was almost empty. I could not believe how much gas I used! As soon as I got home I filled it up again ($60) so I could check the milage. I got up the next morning and my tank was almost empty! Looked under my truck and saw a nice stream of gas flowing out of my fuel pump, the diaphram must have torn. I don't know how I could have missed the smell of at least 15 gallons of gas on the ground, I looked under the truck and could see where the gas had been spraying all over under the truck, I think I am very lucky there wasn't a spark or enough heat to ignite the gas and burn my truck to the ground! Counting nearly two tanks of gas and parts, this was the most expensive fuel pump I ever bought!
