Leadpot.

From one newbie to another, we are learning together. Had my '31 pick-up about three weeks now. I had the same thought last Friday night when I filled mine up for the first time. I didn't dare say anything outloud, as my wife is a worrier. She would never have slept thinking our house is going to explode at any moment. I hope to drive the gas down enough this weekend to try to fix my gauge.
Here in the Kansas City area, I have to buy marine gas to keep from getting 10% ethanol blend, and have to drive a ways to get it. But after seeing what the ethanol has done to my small engines I plan to buy the marine gas, and the neoprene float. Cork bits in the tank does not sound like a good time.
Next time I will ask the "silly" question and take some heat for us "newbies".
