[DeTomaso] Strange things are afoot at the Circle K

[Mike Thomas]

You think that's bad, when I put my fuel pump on my new engine (putting flak
suit on), I installed the fuel pump upside down.  Yes boys, it can be done.
You don't think there was a little pucker involved there.  Once I had
cranked a while and realized there was no fuel, I figured it out, pulled the
pump (just some minor rubbing on the arm, put it CORRECTLY, and it's been
fine since.

The banjo fitting is for fuel, the other is the tank vent.

No flack here.  It can happen to anyone..........now what were we talking
about?  Oh well, I'll remember it some day. : >)
