I'm really not sure. There's a get together tomorrow and the previous owner may be there. If he shows, i'm definatly going to ask him. I think I may have picked up half that crap at a couple of gas stations on the way back from cruise In IV (one stop, I got the pump that could only pump 9 cents worth of something into my tank)

If this doesn't convince people to keep up with their maintainance, screw 'em! If you don't know when something's been changed, CHANGE IT! (unless you just LIKE sitting along the road waiting on a wrecker) And people wonder why we old mechanics are grumpy................ :mad :lol:

I change my fuel filter every 5K.

A small price to pay for a clean fuel system.

:iagree:

The car in my signature was FREE because it ran so bad. Did you know that the price goes down on numbers matching Escorts?

That's because it's not supposed to have the original fuel filter!

$17 later and I had a pretty nice running FREE car. :party:

Those are great pictures. Now, what I really would like to know is what brand gasoline you are using? Hope it is not the brand I am using..............

Had my oil changed a while back, looked up under there, thing was old as dirt, the mechanic told me it was the original according to the numbers on it or something? Who knows! I didn't risk it though, 135k miles and chance of it being the original one, I swapped it out. :cheers:

93 octane (obviously) but I try to stick with Hess. I filled up at two spots on the way back from Cruise In IV, I think they were both mobil stations. one pumped 9 cents in to the tank before I had to switch pumps, the other was the last one I filled up at before the car started acting funny upon start up.

I've always used Hess and its the only stuff I use if at all possible, and never had any problems with them, but any thing is possible :cheers:
