Finally reinstalled my rear seats after taking all of the seats out, cleaning them, welded my drivers seat back together. Lost a bunch of the hardware so I had to use pop rivets. I'll need to check some other jeep to make sure I've got everything buttoned up correctly.
Also for anyone who was interested a while back, here's my mostly black interior in my 2000
Heater core flush round 2. The 1st round is a couple pages back. Got some heat today but still want more. I will flush again in a few days. Round 2 pics.
Well today I bought two more jack stands so I could take the back apart, again. I need to lift the rear about 2", my plan was to make a bastard pack.
While taking one of my leafs apart I broke the 2nd leaf out of my xj pack, which kinda sucks cause I wanted to use it. I also attempted to drill a new hole for the center pin in the s10 spring but just burned through a couple drill bits.
Drove it and filled up in Texas City, TX at Buc-ee's for $2.33 a gallon for regular. No voucher or points needed. Super is $2.75 for 93 octane.
I love Texas.
That's one thing I miss from my time in SW Louisiana. Ridiculously cheap gas. Buc-ee's (across the line) was something else too.
Back on topic, I need to flush the heater core on my '95 to try to get my heat back. Not looking forward to it. Need to find some way to hook a garden hose to the heater hose.
You don't need to fill it up to check the Volume, you could use this little thing called Math.
Volume= Pi x Radius squared x Height, which will give you the volume in square inches. Take that number and divide by 231 that will give you the volume in gallons. There is 232 sq in in a gallon.
Pretty straight forward.
Touché...
Didn't even cross my mind to go about it that way... I'll get you your answer good sir.
Hey man, I spend 3 hours a day doing math. Take that **** outta here, I come here to get away! (Now im trying to think of how much work it takes to pump gas out of the tank from the top so the op can buy the right pump, thanks.) Volume (a gallon) would be 231in^3 btw. Also, its not a perfect cylinder so that number you would calculate with V=piR^2*H would be inaccurate.
Best bet to actually measure (without taking the easy route and looking at the manufacturer's specs) would be to weigh the tank empty, fill the tank, calculate the difference in weight and divide by the density of gasoline to get the volume.
I'd fill it with H2O much cheaper to use, spill, and then just dump it out ... I think its 7 lbs/ gal? Or use a gallon milk jug.
