Subject:      weaning a westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

was there any sign of the fabled screen on the fuel pickup tube ? sure looks like one could switch the inlet and outlet !! my outlet is slightly restricted compared to the return line in the tank and I am thinking of doing it. I used a compressor at 100lbs to back blow the lines to no effect. mike

MY gasoline powered 84 ran out of gas before the gauge hit the red, when it was all done I figured I had 4 gal left. The fix was a new tank but I was not able to find anything wrong with the old one. http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa190/becida/84%20Fuel%20tank/ for photos of the inside of the tank.
