    C5 Gas Gauge Blues

    Hey Dragon- Yes, I had the dreaded "insta-empty" fuel problrm with my '98. It would subside using Tectron or Chevron with the additive. So last winter I was bored and pulled the fuel pump out of my driver's side tank and used some 320 grit sandpaper on the sweeping surface. If you take the...

    WHAT FLOOR JACK

    I bought a shopforce aluminum racing jack last year. It has a really low saddle height that fits under my c5 with enough clearance for the hockey puck. It ran me about $70 from Meijers and it works great!! Certainly would recommend. -Tankman
