I pulled my tank when I recommissioned the car for no other reason than it sat in a field with 1/4 tank of diesel for 10 years without being touched. Despite that, the tank was SPOTLESS. Wasted a ton of time pulling the tank when it didn't need it. Then in one fillup, that record is ruined. 32 years without incident, ruined by a ***** fuel station. I intend to run "maintenance doses" of bio-bor with every single tank I get from now on. A solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. Ridiculous.

The throttle linkage bit really annoyed me. When set "by the book" they were nowhere close. What's the point of writing a procedure if it's wrong? Makes you wonder how many others are out there adjusted improperly with the owner being oblivious?

I thought about using the dust shields on my car, but with a bit of thinking decided "Why should I? That's a problem that shouldn't exist". That's why I chose to go with new pads. Now that they're bedded in all the way, they stop just as good as the TexTars did, just without the ridiculous dust. The Bosch pads are semi-metallic just like OEM and TexTar by the way, they are NOT ceramic.
