[BaadAssGremlins] re: overheating questions (and other things!)

[<eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doc sez:
"A few items know one ever thinks to change is the rubber brake hoses, 
charcoal canister hoses at the roll over valve or the rubber fuel hose from 
the tank to the body."

Holey moley! How true on the fuel line from tank to body! Some of ya'll 
remember this story years ago which almost cost me a SC/360 but more 
importantly a whole gas station. I left my apartment in beautiful 'Gang 
Gardens' off Ocee (don't miss that place there was another two killings 
there this last month alone; and a crackhead jumped out of second story 
window injuring himself when dragons were chasing him, if you want to see 
dragons, get your butt 1 1/2 miles down and live off bellaire in one of 
three Houston's Chinatown's) but I went to the Daimond shamrock on Richmond 
at Ocee and put gas in the SC/360, of course carefully removing the NOS gas 
cap. Afterwards I was fixing to pull onto Richmond and someone came yelling 
at me, and first thing I thought was A>didn't pay for gas; B>carjacking; 
C>someone had some meth for sale; D>hey buddy nice Nova!. But the guys' eyes 
were wide and he said I 'was pouring gas out' from behind the car. It was 
not behind the car, it was UNDER IT. And I have illegal 'dumps' on thi scar 
so the exhaust kicks out before the axle, and neeless to say, this is where 
the gas was pouring out from! I shut it down quickly, and crawled under it, 
looking back as the trail of gas to the pumps.

I told the guy I was going to make a quick run for it, knowing that the 
danger was there with hot exhausts, and cranked it, hauled ass around the 
corner, killing the car and coasting to side of apartment. Well, it was that 
damned little gas line that Doc mentions above. For some reason people tend 
to think they last forever, myself included.

Since we have crap gas in Houston, I may add that some pumps even list the 
dangers of MTBE and how it will eat thru vehicles fuel lines. Like anyone 
reads gas pump warnings, taxes, and other things they stick on the pumps 
anyhows.
