items in forward staging area for fuel pump recon mission today.

if you want to drop by later to laugh point and drink some bourbon while my friend and i are pinned under the van tangled in fuel lines and wiring, this would be the opportunity!

in related cool news it turns out he has the fuel line tool, pressure gauge with a Schrader valve and a rubber mallet. /successkid

I see. When I read your first report I wondered if someone might have been attempting to appropriate fuel from one of your vehicles but for some reason left the area in haste

people should be very careful stealing fuel, there's a much higher probability they may accidentally catch fire doing so from a vehicle. oops.

speaking of which thanks for reminding me that i have to go get the fire extinguisher from the camper.

and some respect for our absentee 67 Olfthfl.

still missing my '67 f100 ranger. though it had power nothing and got stolen/recovered and could be a total piece sometimes, i appreciated the simplicity and reliability. that 352 ran super smooth and would start the first tap of the key even though it had over 200k on it, got 18-20mpg (back when we had "real gasoline").

two of my friends owned it before i did, so i'd spent a solid decade riding around in that truck before i sold it in 1991.
