DJ,
I have to apologize for not getting done what I said I would in the last 10 days.


The fuel pressure regulator was not covering the span it needs to, we removed it, checked it on the calibration bench and found nothing amiss.


Back onto the car and still not behaving, but does not appear to be the fuel pump. Then we got rained out for three days. I've not investigated further.


Tomorrow is a bust with other obligations and Mary and I are headed for Fort Worth for the weekend. I will try again on Monday to gather my forces
and get it squared away. The answer will be annoyingly obvious when I find it.


Thanks for hanging in there, next week will be better.

Howdy,
Missed the Wednesday, but back in shape. It was a pretty good week with most everything going smoothly.


The XF and I got a bit crosswise, as the fuel pressure regulator would not tune in real well. I know what is amiss, but have not corrected it yet.
That will be tomorrow's first chore. With confidence that we were ready to ship and beginning to polish her up, I was a bit overconfident.
Nothing lost, needs a good cleaning, regrdless.


I've got a couple obligations this week with machine shops, but time is available to fix the regulator and clean her up. I think we will get it done.


In touch with a couple shippers. We will choose the best combo of a quality truck and cost. Are you there for the next 2 or 3 weeks?
