You taped and sprayed it in the engine bay. You absolute madman. I want to do this so bad but mine is all flaking and looks like a tv zombie.

Well at least from 10ft yours looks decent. From 10ft mine looks like it's going to give you the plague.Nope, l used a brush to avoid overspray and creating a bigger mess to fix

Learned something new yesterday.
Was in the garage and it had a very strong smell of gas.
It's been over a month since I last took a drive to fill up the tank as well as just getting everything warmed up, get the fluids circulated, charge the battery...etc... since it's been a pretty cold winter.
Last time l was out, I filled the tank up to full and put it away.
Yesterday the temps got up to 46* so the warmth must have increased the pressure inside the tank so that the gas level rose above the vent line and it started to drain out and on to the floor.
I opened up the fill cap so that the pressure would equalize and the gas level dropped below the vent line after a while as the temps cooled, while l was cleaning up the mess, which wasn't much, just a medium sized puddle.

The gas vent design is suspectable to the Capillary Effect. I've learned to never have a full tank unless I'm on a long haul. Even with a half tank I burp the cap on hot days.
Regarding the rims Roger, I would say they are from 1977
Sorry to hear that happen to you by the way with the whole gas thing Roger, we had that happen once too since we fill our cars up for the winter but interestingly enough that it happen only the one time. Maybe take the car out for a little spin somewhere in town to run errands or something to drain the tank a little since its going to be in the low 50s
