    It's alive

     



    Remember the melt down . Electrical fire behind dash , well tinkering for a few months finally got it going a couple weeks ago . The son has been using it for work . I installed the last item today the fuel sending unit , funny how it didn't take out the pump . Still runs great and took it well . 33 mpg is on the road again .

    Shawn that is a good idea. Car does have quite a few 20 and 30 amp , most likely what kept it going a bit .

    34 by no means . When there color matched it does make it easy to plug and play . The most tedious part was the solder then heat shrink then I stilled wrapped a layer of tape .

    With gas back on the rise the savings in parking my truck are fantastic . Son is saving to get his own since I dictate what and where mine are going .

    BIG 10-4 on that one! I paid 20 bucks and only got 3/4's of a tank!
    It's a new Focus and only holds 12 gallons! Thankfully it'll get 40 mpg on the highway!
