That all sounds too familiar!I have a few old style metal gas cans and had to search for a top with a fill tube to reduce spillage...
After I had spilled alot...
It's like asking for directions.... You don't ask until you are lost and can't find your way...
Well it looks like it did a good job. A year in the elements isn't bad. Is that the same type? Or is more of Goretex type outer fabric?Brand new. The vinyl coating on the old one was pretty much gone.

I can't recall the last time I used the funnel, I just aimed the fuel I had collected in the sardine can the best I could. Steady eye and good hand - don't spill too much.
I forgeot about it until now. Need to find it. Shifted stuff around too many times...sigh
The squeeze bottle friction modifier comes in is perfect for priming carbs. A spray can noodle with a piece of 14 gauge wire insulation fits the tip perfectly.We shampooed the carpets and now are working on getting the "Road Runner" started...
Checked and we are getting spark, but it does look a little weak to me, but it's kicking over a bit...
Found we weren't getting any gas...
Put 5 gallons in and now we are getting gas to the carbs....
We are letting some of it evaporate as we spilled some while priming the carbs with gas in a jar to get the gas through pump sooner...
It’s the same inexpensive cover Tim brought originally last year. $50 and it held up to everything but the blazing sun. But for a $50 price, I bought 2 this time so I’m good for next year too.Well it looks like it did a good job. A year in the elements isn't bad. Is that the same type?

I had thought about buying a cover for the car when I was staying in the Gap.
That's great! I'd need to cut or punch an antenea hole, but that would work. Only problem up there was finding a place to store it when I had the car out in the rain (driving it). I'll worry about it if program gets revived. I'm not betting on it.It’s the same inexpensive cover Tim brought originally last year. $50 and it held up to everything but the blazing sun.

The trick I found is to get the carcover tie down kit that has clips and bungee cords to keep it snug on the car. 60 mph winds last winter didn’t budge it after I did that.
Hard to imagine one of the 'breathable" ones would have done better, and possibly worse in those conditions.Heavy snow didnt bother it either. It’s on the lower left with 15” of heavy wet snow on it.

It comes with a grommet kit to punch the antenna hole and secure it to prevent damage to the cover and the antenna. All part of the purchase. It also comes with a zippered storage case with carrying handle. Pretty impressive for the price.That's great! I'd need to cut or punch an antenea hole, but that would work.

Snow?? That’s the worst of the 4 letter words!Speaking of snow,outside here now as i type this.
Dammit.

Next weekend is awards banquet for wife’s work.i never go, for some reason i have to...
The Delaware river gap was created about 3 million years ago when the mountain ridge holding back a 1000’ deep inland sea suddenly was breached. In a cataclysm of epic proportions, the sea roared through the gap and strew millions of tons of stone and gravel downstream to create the plateau silt formation that the city of Philadelphia is build on today. If you look on an aerial photo of the region, you can see the delta it created.Gosh TJ, can't you keep track of where we all live and work and travel?
For me 'the Gap' is the Delaware Water Gap where the Delaware River cuts through the Appalachian mountain range and is now a national recreation area, thanks to a dam project that didn't happen. We were based on the Jersey side. uh that's New Jersey in a former scout camp. The car was outside all the time.
It was only bad on top. Could have just rolled the car up on its side. One side this year. One next. And you get 3 years out of one cover!Brand new. The vinyl coating on the old one was pretty much gone.
I made my own home made funnel for spilling gas onto cars...

Seriously? Didn't Summer start like 3 weeks ago there?Speaking of snow,outside here now as i type this.
You said it first!Snow?? That’s the worst of the 4 letter words!
Nah, Summer up there was on a Tuesday in late July this year.Seriously? Didn't Summer start like 3 weeks ago there?
Well, the Old Farmers Almanac is predicting that most of Canada will be colder and snowier than normal this coming winter.This summer was unusually hot and dry. Garden veggies were nuts,neighbour had so many cucumbers and tomatoes. Oak trees were full of acorns, even though it was so dry the canola produced above average.
I figure we are going to have a harsh winter.It cooled off and there is no decent weather in the near future.
