From: singlecabboy <sealingwaxred@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: Bus story of the day and Paul's wanderings Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 18:20:15 -0800 (PST) I have a gas guage ,but it's at Bobs house , I bought a brand new gas tank and brand new VDO sender and hope to install it when I get my truck back from the body shop , I'll get a new gauge to make sure it works, .I guess one of the best times that I ran out of gas was coming back from Eureka with Katrina and Dan and we were looking into the I of the hurricane and I ran out of gas . Thank goodness for the tank in the treasure chest. .I guess the best things is that when you have a problem in a bus it's an adventure that we pass around to our freinds , if the same thing would of happened in outr domestic truck we would still be cussing ourselves . I think that's what is so kool about this whole VW deal . If it was easy everybody would be doing it. --- Denis <coocoo@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Paul has a gas guage, but the sender is broke and he > would rather run out of > gas than fix it (or at least I think so) > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chuck Blue" <sukchew@xxxxxxx> > To: <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 4:07 PM > Subject: [tcb] Re: Bus story of the day > > > > Why don't you just get a fuel tap and install > it?Then when you run out of > > fuel just turn the handle and go on your way. > > Paul's probably had one when it was young.It was > called a rerserve tank > > but it was just a valve with a shorter intake > tube. > > ole blue > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "singlecabboy" <sealingwaxred@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > To: <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 3:45 PM > > Subject: [tcb] Re: Bus story of the day > > > > > > Welcome to the club Robb, I'm still the presedent > ,but > > you can be the vice presedent .
