Oddly enough the sender was not working and the filters were having to be changed constantly.

Looks like cooking oil, bad cooking oil.

hmmm, I wonder why! I think your gas is a little out of date!You do know current gas is clear!

I know, when I bought thr old girl she had the qjet filter packed solid with rust. I have been able to drive her approximately 20 miles before every seal in the trans/t-case went out and dumped all of there fluid in my garage. A few miles after that the wiring finished frying itself. I mean I guess I could have kept driving with the sparks and all but I'm kind of a wimp like that. It's been sitting for about 4 months now and I'm finally getting around to getting the gas fixed. Next week suspension provided I can get the frame issue straight. I wonder how bad this messed up my engine? Well hopefully the engine will hold for a while cause that will be the only thing left to rebuild. Me thinks the PO might have let this sit a little longer than I was told. O well she's gonna be a runner someday.

I didn't mention it but the dumb sender was rusted solid no wonder it always said I have an empty tank.

That looks bad. Time to have that tank boiled out and sealed or replaced.

Wow, that looks like VTBlazers crank case oil in his tow Chevy after he blew an injector
