The crud still continues, stopping up a fuel filter and shutting down the engine. My local friendly mechanic gave me the words of wisdom about using two filters which thankfully has saved other headaches.
I have been looking for a gas tank, the tank/filler neck seal, a vent seal, and a sending unit. JC Whitney has a tank for about $160 and Dearborn Classics shows a "...fuel filler rubberseal..." which sounds like it is the right piece. I can live without a new sending unit for the time being; the gas line antifreeze seems to have got it loose but its definately wrong [shows "E" but can't pump but 12 gallons]. Does anyone has a suggestion about the vent seal: what is looks like, could it be made with average skill, or where to find/buy, I would greatly appreciate any help.
