Wow, who would of thought, little plastic parts would wear out, lol. My 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis is running great. Knock on wood. Pamela is doing great. I am putting up 2 - 3 pounds of mozzarella a week. Life is great, here at the hobby farm.
I've been chasing a very intermittent EVAP leak on my girlfriend's car. I've replaced the gascap and wanted to do a visual inspection of the whole EVAP system. In doing some research, I found out others are having issues with a leak detection pump. So I crawled underneath just to see what I...
Sounds like true hot rodder "run whut ya brung" tradition... I looked at the Corvair mid-engine conversion as well (even bought Corvair for the project) but never got to complete the project... Life happens... One of the other GT-40 kit cars of that era was the Avenger GT made by FiberFab... I...
...put the tank and the radiator? Well, I simply adapted a bigger radiator to the stock location. And I found a beer keg, and had a motorcycle gascap that seals welded/attached. It perfectly placed where the origonal engine mounted. I had the Toyota gas level sensor installed as well.
True that...
...article and being out of the loop, wasn't aware that EM is going electric- good idea! I cannot and will not allow the pain I went thru for those many years picking colors gascap location, and.......
I'll check back again soon.
Aside, great to see familiar handles.
Stay well, see ya in...
Members on this forum became so starved for real progress and information, we drifted into the pages of debate over the location of the gascap. Funny yet sad.
I don’t think we’re going to have that issue with this project of Mark’s.
Looks like there was some fun I missed ... but in all seriousness, with a vehicle that narrow, I just can't see it mattering which side it's on, the pump is going to reach easily :-)
I think the trunk on the Elio was too small, both the overall size and the hatch.
I am quite happy with...
many a moon has passed since the great gascap location rhubarb ..:confused:.. what folks get fired up about never ceases to intrigue me .... the gascap on my Chevy Silverado is on the driver's side .... the one for my wife's Chevy Camaro is on the passenger's side .... our Sportchassis has one...
I don;t miss those old days. My old Z4 got me tons of miles and the engine never missed a beat and the only major job on it was the coil packs (which BMW replaced in 10 minutes for free). No adjustments of anything. It started at 15 below or 100 degrees. Just like my VW. In 30K miles it's got...
LOL.. points. My 1965 Mustang (sold it in '89...) used to have a habit when I stopped for gas of not starting occasionally. This would then require me to pop off the distributor cap, adjust the points so they would break contact when the distributor spun, and then replace the distributor cap...
I have had several 3 day power failures since I moved to my current house. It seems possible that some calamity could interrupt power for a lot longer so I am in the process of getting prepared. We have a propane stove and furnace, 2 wood stoves and several ways to cook outside with wood so...
No, it has NO battery degradation.
My overall miles 66% electric and 34% gas.
The Volt is a plug in hybrid. Charge it up, run about 35 - 40 miles on battery (depending on weather), it then seamlessly switches over gas and still manages 43 mpg gas only :)
...the new ideas we have heard about, and show it off. It would be much different than the previous E-series. Steel body, redesigned exhaust, gascap, interior, battery placement, and a plethora of other improvements that have and have not been mentioned since the E1C.
This would be to prove...
