As one FNG, I TRULY appreciate all of the FREE help and advice I have been given here!!! This forum rocks!! Look at the poor guy on vacation... you came through as REAL TROOPERS!! I am PROUD to be associated with such a fine group of people. :D :D :D

WHunter, I like the way you think!!

We really really really need to have this made into a sticky!

With guys like you, Randy and Greg (and others....but Randy and Greg are local and very vocal) newbies like me stand a much better chance of happy motoring!

Thanks for your efforts!

Bump, this thread needs to be a sticky!

So now I can say I'm known as the guy with the gunky tank filter and algae crawling up the tank filler! Glad to be part of the project...
