Hello. My name is Dan, and today I doomsday prepped

If you have enough wiggle room in your fuel lines do what Ben said. Mine are too short so I usually get fed up and pull them in a fit of rage

[straight6pwr]

thanks for the tips! i know its not bad, but we'll see what happens with the bypass plans tonight. got some extra coolant hose, brass fittings and clamps from the store at lunch.

I can swing by later if you need assistance. Just let me know.

[straight6pwr]

if you'd swing by at least to bring the samples, that would be very helpful!  I'm going to dive into this right when i get home.

Oh. Right. I changed to soft lines instead of those annoying metal ones that kept bugging me. 
My statement may no longer apply

crisis temporarily averted. with some 3/4 hose and random fittings (whatever they had in stock) i was able to make a bypass section. see you all on saturday.

Great news! Did you bleed it yet

[straight6pwr]

yup, actually very easy with losing coolant from only that section of the system. also took it for a 10 min drive up to operating temp, then parked it - not going to touch it till Saturday morning for fear something else goes wrong.

I keep that hose repair tape in my on-board tool kit. It saved me once when I was in high school.

I didn't know it could be used for that...

On second thought, being DEI its probably for exhaust leaks and header cracks. I meant the radiator hose tape

some sun came through friday night after washing the car. got out the camera to document the only moment when this car might be perfectly clean from here on out. (don't forget I am daily driving this car)

i agree. wish it had not been raining saturday so the camera could have come out.

no, not if I can help it. but i also don't have indoor storage, so that doesn't help the cause.
