Our luck must suck...

with manntis and all the other near catastrophies around here lately


I was driving to work this morning and as I pulled into the parking lot I started to smell strong fuel vapors. I pulled into the parking space and got out. I looked under the car thinking hole in the gas tank. Walked to the rear of the car and the vapors were gone. So I hurried up and popped the hood (car still running). Low and behold the fuc#ing fuel pressure regulator blew up. I dont know what happened but the dial was haning from a spring and fuel was going everywhere.

I thank God that the gas didnt touch the header or anything. Im now off to find another regulator.

peace

That's why I keep a little fire extinguisher in the car.
Guess that's the Boy Scout in me. -WG

Bad luck? Dude these cars are 20 years old! We are living on borrowed time heh! I remember my fathers old Audi burning to the ground when I was four or five. Fun stuff.
