Agree. I think they are selling them as fast as they can produce them so get an order in the queue if you want one. I called them a while back and that's what they had me do. I actually got it pretty quickly.

Ditto what Dollar Bill said. Sounds like you already have the "gizmo" installed that keeps the oil pump from dropping. To run the engine you will need to replace it with the retaining plug (see A-6755 from Bert's for example). - JimCarl

Wow, great discussion and very educational. Thanks to all! JimC

I'm not as concerned about the large chunks as I am about the residue left by evaporust. Since the baffles prevent rinsing the surfaces directly, does rocking the car with water in the tank do a good enough job of cleaning off the residue? I can't imagine any residue mixed with gas would be a...
