Thanks, all, for your welcomes!

Dad6timz, I learned about the organization I'm with through several friends and my college, for which I worked for four years (public relations writer/editor) after graduation. And OldSub, I'm in Shaanxi Province in the geographic center of the country, but it's considered the west.

The truck's in Butler, PA, a bit north of Pittsburgh. Hotshoe 36, I'd be tempted to try just a new rubber line by the tank and add in a filter--I think the cracked original hose was making the pump suck air even though it wasn't leaking. I'll make a new post about that issue.

Thanks again!
