   YEp, that's about the way it happened.  About due for   
   another oil filter on big remote truck, and now due for a   
   fuel filter too.   
   THink a little bit of fuel sat in the bottom of tank for   
   months on end, enough to get a little moisture, and the   
   other day when we went down to do the bike run with it I put $50 in the tank,   
   ran about 80 miles down there no prob.   
   sUnday morning when we moved to new location got a bit of a   
   backfire, and now she don't idle worth a flip.  THinkin'   
   it's new fuel filter time.   
      
   REmember this big girl is an old c50 Chevy with a 350   
   engine, gets about 8 mpg, 19 ft. box truck loaded with lots   
   of weight.
