Well, it was time to fuel it up, and I found a few problems.
First off, I filled it up a tiny bit, and stopped. When I raised up the
pump, I heard a WHOOSH of air. As I was filling it up more, I could hear
metal bending, which I am assuming was the fuel tank.
When I was done filling it up with 10 dollars or so of gas(it had 1/8th of a
tank in it already), some gas spilled out.
What gives? Is something in the breathing system clogged, prohibiting it
from airing out when I fill it up with gas?
In other news(you can read about my recent adventures on
http://www.livejournal.com/~british), I got the estimate for the car done.
I'll be opting for the smaller repairs(the dent in front and behind the rear
wheel) for a grand total of $1700, PLUS the 4 wheels! I'm happy. The full
repaint/repair would cost me roughly 5 grand, which I find resonable. I drop
it off in a few weeks.
Kids love the rich taste of web content!
