But I did learn why European drivetrain components could not tolerate non-specification lubricants. Miami screamed about cost. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Reno, fell into low single digit customer complaints. The Carter flaming Thermoquad problem was solved by wrapping aluminum backed insulation around the fuel line to the carburetor. The Ford blinking lights headlight switch issue was resolved with the installation of a relay. The Ford cube van stalling problem was harder to fix. Because the fuel pickup inlet was placed at 60% of the height of the tank. Any lower fuel level than 60% the unit would run out of gas (I discovered this at 0200 hours in Winnemucca, NV.)
