If it looks good the Insight will be converted to waste solvent also.

So I'm going to put all my energy into the Insight now and try to go for
100 mpg. I will be posting all the modifications on the Insight thread.
I understand not having a belly pan for that reason! It would not last anytime with such abuse! Be sure to coat your inner fenders and belly with WD-40 or a equivalent to inhibit rust on your beautiful car. You probably know this, but just in case

Let us know how that fuel system looks, because I may look into using WS as well

You will be able to get to 100 mpg by next year, no doubt If I ever get the turbo/ultra lean/engine mod stuff done, I'd love to give you a run for that prize...
