I have not, and while it seems like that'd be the best idea at the time, it never even crossed my mind.

The fuel in the car is less than a year old, however, and was treated for the winter. I'm hoping it's OK to use, even if not quite "as good" as new fuel, because 3/4 of a tank is ALOT of fuel to waste.

I will try these suggestions as I get the time to get back over there.

Also going to get a new battery.

Does anyone know what the limit switches on the pump are for? I've checked around, but lost the information I had on them. The car does not have A/C, so they shouldn't be for that, I would think.
