UPDATE: Gas tank . . . This may have been why it didn't work.

Oddly enough the sender was not working and the filters were having to be changed constantly.

Re: UPDATE: Gas tank . . . This may have been why it didn't work.

I know, when I bought thr old girl she had the qjet filter packed solid with rust. I have been able to drive her approximately 20 miles before every seal in the trans/t-case went out and dumped all of there fluid in my garage. A few miles after that the wiring finished frying itself. I mean I guess I could have kept driving with the sparks and all but I'm kind of a wimp like that. It's been sitting for about 4 months now and I'm finally getting around to getting the gas fixed. Next week suspension provided I can get the frame issue straight. I wonder how bad this messed up my engine? Well hopefully the engine will hold for a while cause that will be the only thing left to rebuild. Me thinks the PO might have let this sit a little longer than I was told. O well she's gonna be a runner someday.

I didn't mention it but the dumb sender was rusted solid no wonder it always said I have an empty tank.

That looks bad. Time to have that tank boiled out and sealed or replaced.
