Okay I had to buy a second quart of the redkote, it didn't quite go far enough, so with that now also done I put the tank on the roof of my carport in the sun all day and it is dry. I also fitted the interior back into the car and then this evening put the tank back in as well as temporarily fitting the new gas sender unit. I will put some gas in the car and start adjusting the float to get it to read right. That will happen tomorrow. Then I plan on giving it a kick in the guts and see how it runs. Bob plans to come around Saturday so hopefully everything will be buttoned up by then. I will have more pics then too.

Ran out of gas? That's weird, I read i the news that the refineries in Houston were up and running again.

Of course they are up and running so we can all expect the price of gas to normalise immediately

They had a pipe line that got damaged by Harvey. Had to shut it down. Said on news it supplied NC. That plus folks panicking a bit. I'm going out tomorrow to stock up. I'll try to get all I need to last a week or so. I've been through 4 of these. 2 of them I lost power for a week.
Gary and Bob... both of you guys be safe, you're both getting whatever's left of the storm.

I've got family in Apocka area. They say they are going to hunker down & ride it out.
They're close enough, they'll have something similar to me.

You staying put as well ?
Bob, there is literally no where to go. I would have grabbed a room or two somewhere within a day's drive if I believed it would have working cable and an ice machine... that's done. Now all folks can and are doing is packing up and I imagine camping in the rest area''s and walmart parking lots.
We aren't on the coast, and have an almost nonexistent flood threat at the house, whatever the wind and rain do is not likely to be life threatening itself. The time afterwards may be interesting.
I'm debating seeing if the local Moose lodge is having a ride the storm out event. They lost their roof to Charley in 04... they might not feel so secure doing that again.

Gas tank fiddling today trying to get the gauge to work, nada for now. I gave up after awhile. I also spray bombed some undercoating on the car, I used RUSFRE body deadener. $30 a gallon and I used a $15 spray gun off ebay. I recommend using a car hoist or something similar, laying on your back and trying to shield your eyes while spraying can be a pain.
