Then when the kid plays Monkey See; Monkey Do...That's wen I sit back and watch the fun. hahahahahahah

Didn't start huh?

Did it Crank err err err err ?

Sounds like ( Fuel Pump to me )

Tina said the car wouldn't start the other day....I told her to light a match and use it to looK in the gas tank filler pip to make sure it wasn't blocked! LOL
Just funnin!

I couldn't find all my ramekins when I was getting ready to bake it, so I made it in a 9 x 13 pyrex instead, and because of that, I think the ratio of crust to pie filling was undesirable - too much crust.  Other than that, it was really good.

Yeah! Your looking at $287.00 for the pump + the garage will tack on 30 to 50% + $160.00 labor + Tax if you pay state tax there?

I've seen / heard of a rash of fuel pumps failing lately.
Gee I'll bet the Corn gas (Ethanol ) has a lot to do with it?
I don't use the regular or middle gas. I use the Premium.
It costs like 20 cents more a gallon, at 20 gallon tank, that's $2.00 More.
BUT... It's all gasoline. It burns better, and has 135,000 btu per gallon as opposed to 125 to 128,000 in the Ethanol blended fuels. Ethanol = Less mpg.
The moisture in the ethanol plays heck on the steel and aluminum parts of a vehicle.
OOOps! Gotta end this with food in the subject.
Jimmy Crack Corn, and I don't Care (Pun Intended )... Corn / Ethanol / get it? hahahahahahaha

I think the doll is a Barbie.

Thanks Barbara... All that ethanol was researched and it was not just my opinion.
I read about that all the time.

The newer vehicles use different materials for their fuel delivery systems, but the less mpg's with ethanol blends will never change.
