Technically it is a "Station" Wagon



Took the family for a Sunday drive recently. and stopped at a recycled Train Station..

The "Pretzel DEPOT" which is housed in the former Royersford, PA train station, (history) is hosting their first benefit car show on September 13, 2009.



Although I've yet to enjoy their fare, I've never met a Philly soft pretzel I didn't like,


the station dates from 1932, therefore, its likely that this isnt the first 1940 Ford station wagon that paused here to collect or disperse passengers.

Solutions

UGGG..

this was the cause of my continual (intermittent) fuel delivery issues..

I had purchased this fuel tank (and electric fuel pump) at swap meet in 2008, it was used and I never figured out why someone would sell it..

now I might know.. Perhaps the previous owner had issues as well.

apparently the fuel hose was just loose enough to not supply sufficient pressure to the engine.. THUS intermittent and inconsistent fuel delivery. additionally, I realized that this is just regular old fuel hose.. NOT the submersible type necessary for this application

chased my tail too long on this one..



while I was at it I added a new sock filter, re tightened the clamps. and reinstalled the pump,.

We're were back on the road..
