[Chrysler300] Today's fuel

[mckanical-marvels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This has all been good concerning fuel pumps and fuel. I too use an inline 
electric fuel pump on my '74 snow plow truck. If it has been a while since 
it last ran, the carb is empty. I turn on the electric pump, wait for the 
carb to fill, and then turn it off.  The mechanical pump then pumps right 
through the electric one.

I am pleased that the carb goes dry. From working on small engines, I have 
learned the following: this new fuel eats aluminum, and it eats brass!!! In 
a two year period, I replaced three brass floats that had holes eaten 
through them!

If I pull an oil dipstick and it shows overfull, I smell it to determine if 
there is gasoline mixed in.
