[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 429009, member: 18629"] Well after seeing the pictures I went back to your original post and see you said "The Jeep had not been running for nearly 5 years,". After those five years did you drive it at all and if so how far? Two miles or 2000 miles? I've worked on many small engines and that black oil you see coming out of the injectors looks like very old gasoline that had dried up and condensed. I've found the same thing in fuel lines and carburetor bowls when people don't winterize their mowers or generators and drain all the gas out. I'm thinking that old gas got pushed into the fuel rail. Did it have a strong smell? Still no idea about that octopus inside the fuel tank. Looks natsy. [/QUOTE]
