THANK YOU TOWCAT

[EvergreenRanch]

Well everyone, id just like to give a great member his dues and recognition. I spent a good portion of yesterday with Towcat going over my truck. We timed it, replaced the mechanical fuel pump, and the fuel filter. I cant believe the difference in the truck! Engine was 2 degree's retarded, the filter was SHOT (old style, completly full with indicator all the way to top in lockout), and pump looked like it needed the TLC. Power is restored, fuel economy is up at least 1 mpg, and this mysterious smile keeps showin up when i mash on the go pedal. Cannot express how much i appreciate it towcat... three cheers for a truely great member of the Brotherhood Of Oil Burners

I feel so embarassed now....
seriously guys, if there was a "textbook" example of starting with the basics, when in doubtof a power loss, change your feul filter first.
I learned something new too. B100 is some awful **** to work with. I still smell like I was cleaning out a fryer vat this morning and the stuff will dry the heck out of your skin.

Without embarassing him further, I wil say that I completely concur with ER's summation. Calvin (towcat) is a good guy...
