[DeTomaso] Fuel Pumps

[adin at frontier.net]

Dear Simple thoughts . . .

IMO <<<<<<<<<<<REMEMBER I SAID THIS!

No one on this list runs a motor close to capacity - even on the salt  
you only get 5 miles. a good fuel line has enough fuel for that (sort  
of). Most panteras will break every speed limit in a matter of seconds.

However, no one wants to (or should) come close to running a lean  
condition at WOT.  This is hard on oil pans.  It does, however, make  
cool melted piston ashtrays!

I would guess a good motor would run a tank dry in a few minutes, but  
not on the street.

Trivia Quiz - win a new Nissan 350Z!

How many gallons of gas were used in this years Daytona 500 winning car?

Write your answer on the label of a cold Negro Modelo and hand deliver  
to Box 2161, Durango.

Or post the answer here . . ..

Huh?
