lots of jb weld...well, it was time to replace lines
anyway so like i said on the samba this is just
going to speed up the process of repainting the
engine bay and replacing all the hosery.

Re: bad news about hershey> the brass nipple that
goes intothe carb broke out and since i was coasting
the bus in gear gas was spraying everywhere...gas
landed on the fuel filter causing it to catch fire
too so then gas was spraying before the pump and
after the pump...retap teh carb fix the wiring and
i'll be back on the road in a week.>

on the interstate going to the local pick and pull
to get some parts for diana's car. bus was running
great, next thing i know it started missing a bit.
so i moved over to the slow lane, i started to smell
gas so i slowly start moving over to the shoulder
and next thing i know the bus dies...i jerk it over
onto the shoulder (coasting in 4th) look in my
rearview mirror and see nothing but blue
smoke...blue smoke then turns to black so i grab the
fire extinguisher and i run to the back bus is
boiling smoke. i go to open the deck lid...deck lid
is stuck so i shoot fire extinguisher stuff down the
fresh air vent on the side of the bus run to the
other side get in the currently burning bus and dig
out a screwdriver pry open the decklid still can't
get it open so i pry up the corner of the lid and
shoot inside the corner...finally i get the lid open
the compartment is still on fire in some spots,
mainly wiring so i shoot the remaining stuff in
there and get it out...now i call 911...tell them i
am on fire...then i notice gas is spewing everywhere
so i pinch the line to hold it and sit there for
like 10 minutes, finally i call 911 back and tell
them gas is spraying everywhere but i got the fire
out. the 911 lady tells me i need to calm down...i
told her my shit was just on fire and now gas is
spraying everywhere unless i pinch the line which is
hot. she put me on hold then said they're on there
way...i told her to tell them to take there time
cause it's out...finally the fire truck shows up and
we get the line stopped and i get the bus home.>
