Re: Happy Update on my '84 8v (long)

[pez18@zebra.net (Richard Pizzulo)]

Man, my poor ass has to usually ride the fumes for a while, and I know that I
have gotten over 13 gallons into my tank. I have a mini-spare.  As a matterof
fact I had 13.6 in there today.  I even had 14.2 once while trying to hunt an
Amacco on the interstate so that I could use my gas card.  I'm sure you also have
to adjust for the fill tube but...one thing, when they do run out of gas, they
are out!!  There is no bucking the car to stir up enough to get you another few
blocks.
