I was having fun yesterday, and more fun today. I needed gas for the lawn equipment, so I loaded the gas can in the El Camino. I put 2.5 gallons in the can, then filled up the El Camino since I was there.

I drove the 1/2 mile back to house and I turned into my neighborhood, the engine died. No power steering, so I muscled it to park in front of my driveway. I got my wife to help me push it to the curb and park legally. My driveway is up a steep 5 foot hill, to the flat parking area in front of the garages. I was afraid it was a tank of bad gas. I was happy to find out that was not it.

So I had to call for a flat bed tow truck. He loaded it up, and brought it to the top of the driveway, and aimed the bed at the garage. With both of us pushing we got it into my work bay, over the scissor lift. He said it was the shortest distance tow he has ever done.

This morning I cranked up the AC in the garage, got the car in the air at max height on the lift, and cleaned the ground connection for the fuel pump. I sanded it to clean metal, slathered on some electric conductive grease, and screwed it down tight. As a precaution, I used the mechanical stop on the lift, so it can't come down.

The ground connection is in a place only a 100 pound contortionist could get to with the car on the ground. With the car up in the air, it is still a bit of an effort to get to.

All fixed.
