hi all! yes - i made it home! sry i havent posted, but i was replacing the fuel filter on a friend's escort this afternoon.
(BTW, fine69, your intuition was correct, it WAS the fuel filter on that escort - car runs great now!)
this is gonna take a few posts because of the number of images - so here it goes:
ok - so the trip started out good - 1.5 hrs from home to New Castle, Indiana, where i accidently filled the tank with deisel fuel. (yes, i picked up the green hose instead of the black one!) I was lucky to catch the mistake before i started the engine. so, i spent 2 hours at the flyin J gas station. shadetree lives close by, so he brought a spare underbed tank, and we siphoned out the gas into the spare tank. i owe him a huge favor! great guy!

shadetree arrives at the flyin J!
shadetree starts siphoning
hmm- lots of diesel - still siphoning ten minutes later!
done siphoning!
and here is our little mini car-show in the flyin J gas station!
after that two hour fiasco, i headed on to fine69's, and found this cool car carrier along the way!
