Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone had a fairly cheap CLEAN turbo buick gas tank. No fuel hanger needed as I just want to replace my internally dirty one.
Thanks,
Derek:cool:
 
Jon had the one from chris' t-type... dont know if he still does... he had a walbro for it as well
 
dead

Hey Rob,
Thanks!! I called Jon and he said he still had it so im gonna look at it tomorrow. My car is stuck across the street right now at the park as I believe that the new Walbro is dead:( :( Im trying to find a way to get it up to the garage now.
Thanks,
Derek:)
 
did you try jumping the relay and then banging on the tank? (worked for the camaro... too bad the little hose was cr@p and I still had no fuel pressure...)

if not, you can drag it up the hill with the taurus... or my truck... let me know and I can give you a hand this evening...
 
Nope but, I tried banging it with a hammer and than shaking the tank with no avail. I also measured voltage with my trusty fluke and got some out back so........I guess she died:( I just emailed Racetronix to let them know and see if I can get a replacement.

I was gonna try and drag it with the taurus too but, need to go get a tow strap. Ill let you know if I need help but, I feel that you help me out too much!!
Thanks,

UPDATE!!

Well, with some help I was able to get the GN into the parking garage:) The Taurus took it up with ease:p Im gonna check it out some more tomorrow as Im frustrated with it for today:rolleyes: More than likely the tank will have to be dropped.....again:eek:
Thanks for the help Koa!! And thanks for the offer Rob!!

2ND UPDATE!!

I got myself a CLEAN fuel tank thanks to Jon!! Nice V6 engine work in his Monte;) Hope he finishes it soon as it looks like it will be a pretty fast car!! Inspired me to work on my own GN somewhat too.

Thanks Derek, it was really nice meeting you man. Hope everything works out for ya!
 
Hey Jon,
Everything worked out just fine as I put the tank on today!! The car runs great again! I think that I had a defective walbro from the beginning because now my windows roll up and down faster. I think the old one was putting a huge load on the alternator that got worse as time went by. Thanks again!!
Derek:cool: :D
No more popping/backfires/stutters/hesitation for me!!:D :D
