You guys in the cold are making me feel like a little rain and south wind is no reason to not go out and work some.
I'd be out there in the rain - it's a freaking blizzard here now (I think that covers most of the US).
I checked the hose clamps - they are tight - I will check the sending unit now - I flushed the tank this summer & only drove with the windows down until the other day - I don't remember if I had the gasket or not. I hope its that simple.
