No I think what he's talking about is a thing that sends frequency through wires and you here some sort of tone where theres a short or a fault.


Anyway.
So Im up alittle early this morn to get some troubleshooting done before work.
Plugged in a new 15A and see if I can here the fuel pump ringing...NOPE.
With my many workings with it, it should ring with the key in the on position.
Not happening.
So.
Anyone else agree i should drop the tank and see if my wiring has been fubared...?

Im lead to believe it has something to do with my wiring inside my tank.
It has something to do with my...bought wrong part rant thread...and my u joint/gas tank thread
When I bought the "wrong part" some asshat sold me a 94 tank, in had different fuel line routing, so it wouldnt have been a direct swap.
Thus being said I used my fuel pump out of my 91 and the wiring didnt match up, splice this splice that, got the beatch running.
But now this.
Ghey.

Cause its got ~11 gallons of gas in it.
That means I have to either get the floor jack working.
which I believe the damn movers lost the bottom pole to it.
Or I have to drain 5 gal. Put that in one of the other family cars, drain another 5 gal. and keep it till I get this sorted.
So.
WWYD..
But seriously.
I work in less then 2 hours.
Get off at 10.
School at 9 tomorrow morning then work at 4, go straight from school to work.
So, that leaves thursday morning as the runner up.

If it was me, I'd drain and drop the tank. Why can't you use the top bar for the jack? Oh wait, you prolly have 1 of those jacks where the bottom pole is tapered, well then......nevermind. Like I said, I'd do the drain and drop....

well both bars are tapered, but the bottom one must have some sort of workings in it so that I can twist and make the jack I guess looser and tighter.
idk.
But yeah, I guess ill just bite it and drain it...
Put the gas in to the fam. sienna that ive been driving.
And as said, keep the rest in our filler tank until I get it sorted out.
This seroiously makes the like, UNteenth time i've done it, no joke.
But whatever, I guess Ill learn to do it right the first time for now on.

So I, My RHCP shirt, and my jeans are all soaked in gas.

The tank is dropped...When I say drop, I mean dropped..

Anyway...The wiring on the outside of the tank looked fine..
I almost fubared the main line connector, so I gave up for tonight.
Ill be up brite and early figuring this out.

Oh, and I pulled another Scuba classic..see the yellow part in the sig.
Then sue me.

later guys.
