I have not dug into my fuel tank where I must have tangled the lines with the sender arm, so the gauge never goes below half.
Have to do it outside, has to have a nearly empty tank, I've put it off.......

I'm driving the car again, so maybe this is the spring where I replace the motor. Or maybe not - it rarely makes any noise at all.

Also today I put off driving both of my cars into the crusher at the wreckers. Both cars well over 400km’s at this point. I think they are losing their ambition. They are really turning into jalopies
