Tip: Close up the tire before applying duct tape inside.



Yeah, I know it looks like Tech board stuff but the site offers all manner of solutions.

It kind of ticks me off that I discovered it two days after I ordered a new rear tire.

I had a fuel pump go oput on an old chevy blazer out in the sticks 4 wheeling one night at about midnight.

We got out by draining the washer fluid, syphoning some gas from the tank and filling the washer tank with gas, and replumbing the washer tubes to the carb bowl.  Everytime the engine would stumble because of no gas... we'd hit the washer switch.   When the reservoir was empty... we'd do it again. 

It ruined the washer reservoir, but it got us home!  The reservoir was $5 at the salvage yard.
