Calling it a day

Sorry, about the leak, but glad to hear you are impressed with the new pump. How long do you figure you have in the installation? I would love to put one in my truck, but the piggy bank doesn't agree. Maybe in the future...

 

[iracemine]

neat stuff! cant wait to hear more with the load.

 

[dpantazis]

so are we going to christen the truck as the Exxon UP?

glad you got it going. you air force boys are always impressive, i never have kitty litter or oil-dry on hand when i need it.

I didn't either.
I had to go get some Papa Murphy's for supper. As long as I was going to town, I thought I'd pick up some oil-dry.

But all that wasn't everything that went bad today. I lowered the garage door on an object that shouldn't have been there. The top of the door where the door opener is attached got all "F"ed up. I spent about 2 or 3 hours beating everything back into an approximate shape resembling what it was supposed to look like.

Guess I spent about 6 hours installing the Adrenaline HPOP. If a person has done a few HPOP's before, I'm sure it'd take less time. I've had the fuel filter housing out before, so that was a help. Some folks may take more time. But I'd say between an afternoon and a day.

To bad I didn't have previous experience installing gaskets.

Ok, here is where I sit with my various options:

A) Order a new gasket from the local dealer, which will not get here until Tuesday & cancel this weekends camping trip.

B) Drive to Green Bay & back @ 170 miles or 3 1/2 hours each way to get a $6 part, and go camping tomorrow.

C) Call Dieselsite and have them send another gasket, overnite UPS with a Saturday morning delivery. That shipping will be about $40 for a $6 part. Put it in and go camping on Saturday afternoon.

Post your choice and I'll let you know what choice I made later.

I would:

A) Get the $6 dollar part on Tuesday and spend the weekend driving the Lay-Z-Boy in front of the bigscreen!!!!

Overnite it cheeper than driven.

Overnite it cheeper than driven.

X2, Let someone else pay for the fuel. While you wait you can take it back apart. Otherwise, you have to make a long drive and then still have to fix it.

 

[iracemine]

A) Order a new gasket from the local dealer, which will not get here until Tuesday & move the lazy boy to the back yard.

We're into June and are really anxious to get the camper out for the first time this year. Besides Mrs TG has a three day weekend which only comes around about every 5 to 6 weeks. So I gotta give it my damedest to get it running so we can take advantage of the opportunity to get out to the campground.
