It was resurrected yet again. I think there might be foam inside the pump housing from last spring's Hastings fuel filter failure. It did start, we're 400 miles up the road.

Only two photographs and I'm already drooling at the BobD. Did you take Interstate 85 up? I really love that Virginia welcome sign!

Firestones on that RV? :joker:

You caught it ... :cyclopsani:

Lucky grandpa kept it upright even as the front suspension was wedged under the pull-out.

Bob D is looking spiffy; glad you decided to take him out, and circulate his fluids. Man, you are doing some driving! I’m looking forward to some inner engine work lessons, as we investigate the issue with Marc and Eliana’s beloved Valentina, later this fall. And, my ball joint boots! Frankly, I have been impressed with the improvised Saran Wrap replacement boot that we contrived. From what I have read, I may be getting better durability from that, than from some of the new rubber boots on the market. I shall begin sterilizing The Barn, so that we have a clean work environment for the forthcoming surgery.
I like the photographic journey that we are now going on with you.
