Yeah, and it's not even everywhere in the province either. I bought my
pickup in 1991, and have put a whopping 10 000 kms on it since then. Even
if it poured gas straight out its tailpipe, how much can it contribute?
(mind you, the reason I don't drive it is because it pours gas right out
its tailpipe, but it always passes the sniff, unlike my 30+ mpg A1s.)

Yeah, I always wonder how they come up with this stuff, the majority of
muscle cars don't need to sniff, and go to a cruise night and tell me there
aren't a lot of HCs in the air (mmmm, uncombusted HCs)

Nothing yet, one of them's toast, the list vote suggests the main, which
would make sense because it's more money and more of a bitch to do. I'll
probably order both of them, just in case (after a few more "tests"). Any
surplus will end up on something, sometime. I may grab a transfer pump from
a willing donor around here if detaching its wiring suggests it's the
culprit. But I have some other stuff to do on it today (shift bushings,
heater controls, and on and on) It really needs a full time mother.
