Hi list mods and others,
I think many of us are not receiving original messages. Thankfully those that are seem to be responding and leaving the original post.
Can our list serve folks work with us to solve this for 2020?
I would truly be lost without the support of this list.
I also avoid Facebook for both practical and ethical concerns.
I think that many folks that post and don’t get a response don’t realize the list serve is not sending out many messages, or at least not sending them to all of us.
I changed from a iCloud address to a Comcast with no improvement. Some messages go to junk but most just never arrive at all.
Hang in there Gerry! We need you more than ever!

While the list management prefers we do not keep the original posts with the replies I see value in the full thread and also due to this "posting" issue. Lost posts are also why I post to the list and the original poster.

Replacing an original tank has become a leap as the replacements are low quality, thin wall, in have caused me grief and comebacks. I have dealt with clogged screens, loose pick ups, bowls and the make sure the vent system is working especially the control valve and carbon canister as the fuel pump has little trouble collapsing these tanks. The outside finish so far is fairly durable so no need to paint. They will rust from the onside out if you get water inside. The other common problem is the cut out for the fuel gauge sensor. Some you just can't get the o-ring to seal.
