I am laughing my ass off!!! I just had a similar experience with my '71. A few days ago I took a bath in gasoline myself, and I will, oh yes, brother, second that emotion. It Just keeps pouring and pouring and glub, glub, *panic* and I didn't get mt merit badge either, friend. But............................. Hey! We've got new hoses and fuel lines and we didn't shell out $40 to $45 bucks an hour while we saturated our silly asses!! There'll always be that one simple satisfaction when it comes to taking care of your own Bus; no matter how long an easy job takes, no matter how many neighborhood children go squealing to their mothers about all the gas in the gutters, no matter how obsessive it DOES become; we're an integral part of our Bus' well-being, and not a whole lotta Joes can say the same. Kudos to the nutty guy with gasoline gushering out all over his belly!!! Cram that hose onto there and be done with it! Find a beer and roll it over in your head::::stanky, yes; but proud : ) Rach
