If it won't fit, open the box while in the parking lot and put all the
parts on the back seat. Abandon the box.


Awful hard to return it if you do that....


yep, I had thought of both of those points this morning. But lo and behold the
whole box fit right into the back seat (Buick Century). Very good luck there.

So, the job is done and it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. The hardest part was
getting the old hardware out (4 on floor & 3 in tank). Even having the hole
open wasn't so bad - especially with all nearby windows and doors open.

I am wondering this: the old style float control would allow for fast filling
and then would shut off forcefully at the end with a big shockwave BAM! going
through the whole system. It was made by one of the well-known manufacturers,
so I debated whether that was acceptable or not. It had been like that for
years, maybe the accumulation was what caused the eventual break.

I guess I should have learned by now not to trust that corporations will make
things that are right.
