This says you have to drop the tank.

And it's already been established that you can't work on it where it is.

Unfortunately, I don't know the shops in your area, but there are about a dozen within five to ten miles of you. I'd stay away from the name brands. They tend to be less experienced and over-priced.

The best bet is to find someone who has had work done by a private shop, and who recommends one. Then you could have the vehicle towed and repaired. Hopefully the cost will not be too great, and a way can be found to get it paid.

But you need to know the right person, who knows the right mechanic.

You can all advise me about getting rear lights working on the RX-7, next. At least I have my classic-car friend at church to tell me who can fix it and make sure it’s done right.

Wow. What a thing to wake up to! Intelligent car conversations and everything!

We just had a good 15 minute rain, no thunder, but rain predicted for the entire morning. Lots of accidents on the freeway already, and the commute hasn’t really gotten started.

I don’t know how to save all the destructions about the fuel tank, but I will run between the raindrops this morning and pull back the mats in the cargo bay and see if there is a flange for the fuel pump.

Not that it will help me. BUT. I’m leaning towards going to the same place that fixed it in March so I could get the truck smogged. They did a good job and are within walking distance. I want to go there and talk to them face to face but I don’t want to do it alone. I’m just not eager to argue.

So, all that’s left, I guess, is rounding up the rest of the money for the labor.
