Halloween Pumpkin
So I took the red Duster for a drive Saturday morning up in the mountains, and it started running like crap, just bogging like it was running out of fuel.
When I made it to the next town, stopped at a NAPA and bought a fuel filter.
It would idle fine, but anything over 1/4 throttle it just wanted to bog down, one steep hill on the way home, I topped the hill at under 20 mph, I swear an old lady on a bicycle could have passed me.
Anyways got home, removed the filter, first from the output side, fuel was complety clean, good sign.
On the inlet side, completly different story, it was full of rust.
Ordered a new tank, and sending unit.
I never once thought this car would have a rusty tank, but as I always told my-self, expect the worse, hope for the best when it comes to old cars.
The soup can in the picture was cleaned out with laquer thinner, and that was a clean paper towel in the bottom of the can.
