Subject:  [Chrysler300] Fuel Pump


OK now. I don't want everybody  laughing.  I had some bad luck with
electric fuel pumps, So   while  laying in bed one night thinking about a
universal way to fix  the fuel problem.   I got up and went to the garage
and got into  my box of old Midget and Sprint car parts.  Low and behold
I still had  my old hand operated fuel pump that i used in the old days.
So I took a  couple of large sheet metal screws  and attached it to the
outside of  my 300F drivers door, right behind the spotlight  and then
ran a  rubber hose to a fitting ( I used a tie strap to hold the hose to
the right  rear antenna.to hold it up). that I brazed to my gas cap.
Now if I start  running low on fuel pressure  I just put the window down
and start  pumping the tank to 5 lbs of pressure.  It will last for
almost 50  miles before I have to pump it up again.  I know this is old
fashioned  but it works great.   It doesn't look to bad when I polish  the
Knob.

Louis, I am trying to imagine this apparatus wound up and over and down the  
side of your Big Yellow at the next Club event.......Nope, can't imagine  
it!!!  Needless to say the points deduction for authenticity might be a  little 
stiff, but we would also have to take off one or two for function if you  didn't 
plug the tank vent to keep the pressure in!!!!!   300ly,  Gil
