hello, thanks for the info. that seems like a fair enough solution - i wasn't too worried about it. i was suprised to learn what the capacity of the tank is, but based on that and a little testing i should be able to keep from running too low (or out altogether). i however have another problem (which is a bit more important anyways). the odomoeter doesn't work. the speedometer does, and i presume that like most vehicles it is one and the same cable, so i just need to discombobulate the dash and see what is wrong with the mechanism. any suggestions/hints there? thanks. -- Nate t.
