Ya, I know what you are saying Joel.  This guy EBO scares Me sometimes!!!!!

Awww you guys 

Elbow- The bladder in my 79 is made or a hard polyethelene- it's almost like an internal fuel cell - it's a similar grade of heavy plastic - I'd find it hard to believe that it would deform and there's no way to cut that puppy out of there.

Check it first ebo. That's a great setup to keep if the bladder isn't deformed. They were originally put in due to the firery results from C3s in rearend collisions so the fuel could be contained. These only lasted a short time in production.

Hopefully it's the sending unit...

I have never dropped the spare so maybe a good thing to try. Then I can clean and lube it all when i put it back up there.

OK finally got to do some work on the car.

Dropped the spare, flat, no air. Aired it up cleaned up the carrier and put it back in place. Put the battery on charge. Then did what I had hoped to do at Lukes BBQ and took all the belts off. I did not even draw blood! But of course one of the belts is to short. The belts are all the new cog style so its a little harder to match them up. The belts were not marked which is which, so either the alt belt or the air cond belt is short. I'll take all the factory belts with me and cross check the numbers Monday.

The PS belt was the only PITA. i'm sure trying to get them tight will draw blood and tricks? So if we had tried to do these last Sept it would have not worked out so well. The omly belt with wear was the Alt belt and all the others have to come off to get to it.

If I'm not mistaken, your car does not have a bladder in the tank.  Too new.  Seeing silver confirms this, the bladders are black.  Go back to the signal wire and ground it, then leave it open, and see what the gauge does.   Grounded it should read empty, just as Joel said, and open it should read past full.  If not, the problem is likely in the dash.

Ken its so nice to See  you again on the site! ebo2011-05-01 04:40:02
