    Now for the Bad, the pump is shot! What a dope I am for not checking this out! I was so busy talking to the guys at their place, I just, wait for it~ Assumed~ it was ok.

    I texted David with pictures(the seller), he wrote," I had no idea. Let me help you. Let's find the part and I'll (him)pay for it" So I told him an aftermarket pump on Amazon is about 120 and he said no problem. But at the same time I feel kind of guilty~ is that wrong? lol I told Gary(hubby), I just soon split it with the guy and think that would be fair? I feel vendicated with the guy just acknowledging and being, wait for it~ ACCOUNTABLE! We've been communicating just like friends~ love it;)

    My roommate in college bought an engine to rebuild, he tore it down and the crank was cracked, he called the seller and the seller got him a stroker crank. Eventually my roommate put it in his project then had a family and he sold the project. The guy who sold him the engine bought the car when it was up for sale.
    It all just worked out.

    My .02 is, if you are honest and square without fail then you will be rewarded with the same, sometimes…
    I have a favorite quote (don’t know to whom it is credited).
    When an honest person is mistaken and confronted with the truth, they will either cease being mistaken or cease being honest.

    Just ah update on my caddy, no not golf caddy! lol It's working fine, I feel I'd like a fuel filtering system especially from the caddy, but also when sucking gas from a tank, Can't have the filter both ways :crazy:, it's not like my caddy or gas I'm robbing from is sanitary, just like clean fuel. When I removed the gas from the Bronco, I wound up gravity to tank it from the tank to my caddy, that worked great! The hose wouldn't make it through the gas fill. I thought maybe to put a filter like it came with and just have to always use the hose method to remove gas from whatever.

    Hey! I couldn't very well leave this "build" without the final touches and function;) I installed the Golden Rod fuel filter and glad I waited~ but supposed to only go one way, and away from the tank. I can reverse but that would mess up the filter I'd think. I wound up just siphoning the gas tank from whatever into the caddy. I did take my 4- 5 gallon gas cans to fill, then put that in my caddy which didn't fill the caddy. It holds like 30 gallons! IT's a lesser expensive pump from Amazon with good ratings and does pump very well and so far I'm pleased. Tee ppg clear coat isn't affected by the gas, same as on my Bronco and other 2 stage paint jobs.
    The other final touch was the Texaco decals~ so pretty!
    dne' ;)

    ps: I spoke with David, the seller of the caddy, and let him no there's no charge, I like the guy and we had a nice conversation, and I just soon him be a good friend, and that's my charge;)

    What you can do is put a T in the outlet of the pump and a quarter turn shutoff on each side with a second filter and either another T to use one hose or an entirely seperate hose off the second filter.

    It's a little speedy but better than a second pump.
