i just went through my sons 77 280z and replaced the fuel pump and i checked fuel pressure and it ran for a minute and started sputtering and shuts off the pressure dropped to 15 psi and i started and it took off did the same thing so i dropped the fuel tank and drained out the gas and let it dry out and got some gas in a 5 gallon gas jug and stuck the hose and started it ran good with good pressure so i went and ran 130psi out of my tank and puff the dust flew out so i went and put the tank back in after i shot air into it few times and it runs with good pressure so now is the idle it is to high so i hope this helps.

What started the Eyre Peninsula bushfire?

The dreadful Eyre Peninsula bushfires of 2005 which trapped a town and killed 9 were apparently started by the backfiring or hot exhaust pipe of an old truck belonging to a local prospector.
