Re: [DMCForum] Re: Andrei's Fuel Tank

["Jim Strickland" <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

I don't see how running low on the tank causes "trash" to get sucked up. 
Where is this alleged trash- floating on top of the gasoline?  My tank
sucks gas from the bottom, just like every other stock Delorean.

Imagine if Rick with his 4 gallon tank would never go below 25%.  hahaha
