We purchased a used fuel pick up from a seller on eBay. It appeared to be in working condition. It just needed a little clean up. It worked but because of the conversion from 24v to 12v the gage reads 1/2 full with the tank is full. We will fix that issue sometime in the future. In the meantime we see our tank as half full.

Phase II Restore

With the easy part behind us it' was time to start restoring or replacing parts. This took the longest time because each piece had to be cleaned, inspected, refurbished or replaced. It was fun to learn about each component and gratifying to see each part repaired and ready to install.
