Hello all,
With the cold weather here in northeast Ohio I was worried about my gas
mileage in my 86 GL auto ( 17.5-18.5mpg) I am getting 13+ now. I figured it
was due to the cold weather idling ect... WRONG !!!!! Filled up to day and
(you guessed it) Found that the gas tank is leaking. So now i have another
project for the spring.  : (
I siphoned off  a quater tank and the leak stopped. Oh joy I can hardley wait
to get at this.
Thanks to the archives I know what I am in for,a  saturday afternoon with the
smell of gas and scraped knuckles.
