Man, am I loving these cloudy mornings.
Gives you a chance to get stuff done.
Picking up my engine for the 74 today, so guess what I'll be doing all weekend.
Anybody know a fuel tank builder that's local?

Yeah not your everyday request I guess.
I took my tank out to observe the interior and thought maybe I'd try and get a little range while I was at it.
There's a company out in San Bernadino but they only work four days a week,,, and they're in San Bernadino.

BTW
I have about nine gallons of bad gas if anybody needs it JK
Didn't want to run old fuel through my renewed new engine.
Been sitting for 4 or 5 months.
Might as well just light a few twenties and watch them burn.

Don't know anyone in Fresno that builds gas tanks, but even if I did, it is not exactly local to you.

Just add a couple of gallons at a time to a fresh tank, in any car you choose. You've got plenty to choose from.

One more, that's all from one tube. Apparently volume matters.

"Splain, please.....

Is this pouring the liquid contents of a GlowStick into jelly jars?

The photo of the four jars was a bit confusing until I realized the jars had lids on them, and weren't jars that had been broken or cut.

Yes, exactly Pop. I used the larger glow tube pictured below.

Used jelly jars with lids tightened. I bent the tube first, then strained out the broken glass and poured the liquid into the jars.

I see the 4 jars were still glowing this am.

Also taking used paper towel roll centers, cutting out eye shapes, then inserting a glow tube inside. Then place discretely into outdoor shrubs to imitate peering eyes
