NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

Just curious but when you guys go at lunch time why not get the authentice DimSum foods off the rolling carts that they bring around to the table?

There are quite a few places in Chinatown that serve lunch that way.

Soooooo had to drop the suburban off for a transfer case rebuild... This is like being a fish out of water type of thing... I live in my suburban... it's only been a hour and I feel like it has been forever.... but when she comes back I should be able to hit the Knob show this october and mud her all up...

That is all....

DimSum is the traditional way the Chinese eat in restaurants, its typically served until about 2pm, but sometimes later. Not all restaurants in Chinatown serve that way, but it is the most authethentic food you can get. Most of the foods you get off the carts are very different than anything on the menu and very very different than you get locally.

Also, if you don't say you want DimSum some places will sit you in a different dining room or different area than where they are serving DimSum.

Ever tried dehydrated octopus? I don't think anyone has ever actually finished chewing it, they just give up and swallow it.

 

[Ericpwp]

like the James Bond movie?

You are getting more efficient

Must be a government worker, or union worker, to be THAT efficient.

Heck maybe a unionized government worker!

Going to be doing some work on my '67 Jeepster tomorrow with INGO members Bill B and DesignerGuy so I started to get things ready today.

I thought about asking Ghost of Winter too, but figured he hurt himself and be off work for 6 months

Figured I'd siphon some gas out of the tank because that has to be removed and it would be easier to work on if it was lighter. Gas at 8# a gallon, thought I'd pull at least 5 gallons out of the tank. Siphoning gas out of a tank looks so easy when they show people doing it on TV. Got exactly ZERO.ZERO gallons out of the tank. Inhaled a lot of fumes. Not a good thing. Actually couldn't get the siphon tube all the way into the tank, it kept getting stuck when I shoved it down the filler pipe. I have another plan that I'll try tomorrow when there are witnesses.

On the bright side I did get the floor swept up of all the debris and sawdust from a major woodworking project, so at least we can work in a reasonably clean garage bay.

Does it have a manual gas pump or battery? If battery disconnect the line from motor and pump it out. I kept a aftermarket 12v pump with lines on it for my mower to dump the fuel in the snow blower in the winter.

Manual fuel pump.

Problem is when the engine is running it leaks gas at the top of the tank.

I was hoping to pump some fuel out of the tank so when we drop the tank to access the top where the fuel sender is located we wouldn't have to struggle with extra weight.

 

[actaeon277]

They have little hand pumps. Maybe that might work. And yes, siphoning sucks. And you usually end up with gas in the mouth no matter how hard you try not to.
I had a friend with a jeepster, can't remember the year, but it was before turn signals.

Is that what Andy has?

 

[Snapdragon]

I've used the hand siphon to pump gas out of the snowblower at the end of the season. I will not use the one that goes in your mouth.

There's probably a joke in there somewhere.
