Thanks for the advice guys... this helps me a bunch. Think I'll just leave the gas tanks alone for now and focus on keeping a fresh supply line to the fuel pump using the backup up 2 1/2 gallon gas can... that is something that I know will work and still lets me move the truck around alittle bit... main goal was to just get the engine going and i've done that so now we'll focus on the engine... thanks again for all the good advice guys...

till next time, see ya
