Thread: Roadster Pickup comes home on the Hook!!!

Tweet

I am pleased to announce that I just started the roadster pickup!!! No explosions, no fires, no heart attacks!!! It rattled for about 2 seconds untill it came up to full oil pressure, then all was well. Good oilpressure, smooth idle, no flooding, same as its always ran. I let it idle for about 15 or 20 minutes untill the engine come up to temperature and the electric fan kicked on, to boil any gasoline residue out of the exhaust system and crank case. (I had changed the oil and drained the filter). all seems to be well. HALLELUJAH!!!!

Good to hear Brian. Thanks for this thread. I've learned a lot and it helps me with future design issues for my trucks' fuel system. I was going to put a keg style tank in the bed, but probabaly will go with an under bed design now. If I do use the keg, I'll be sure to put a fuel shut off switch in! I love this place because I would rather not learn only from my own mistakes!

Glad to hear it all went well.

Thanks for sharing your experience Brian. I probably would have had the same problem but have now ordered an electric fuel cutoff for my situation.
