OK. I got the tank mounts fixed (welded in new capture nuts). First tank was mostly spent retrieving the 73 Fiat 124 special. So partially with an empty car trailer and partially with the car and trailer and the last 1/3 or so was just the van. 11.25 MPG. That almost makes me cringe after driving the Mercury for so long. I haven't gotten the trans setup to shift correctly yet either though so it's not so bad given I only have 2nd and 3rd. I did come across a DIY "manumatic" conversion for the 4L60e so I will try that. Given the poor mileage though I still won't be driving it too much. I think I will make it a habit of driving a different car on Fridays to work. Just to keep all vehicles driving every once in awhile. I did buy some new rims and tires for the van. The rims are on back order though so it might be a little while before I get to put them on.
