Especially the fill up before winter storage. Found 2 stations local to me whare I can get it. Unfortunately our fuel is all 10% ethanol here in Northern AZ. I'll just start / drive it more often to keep the gas "fresh". 2 Quote Link to comment

I have a 1 month window to drive the 620 until our summer starts. Fires up now on the 1st or 2nd try as long as I choke it. 3 Quote Link to comment

I bought a 620 box from the wrecking yard. It had the attached fuel tank and the cap was off because I stole it 2 years before. The box was there at least 5 years. I dumped out about 4 gallons and ran it through a filter, it was the brightest piss yellow color. Put it in my 620 and it drove perfectly fine and I was watching for problems. I don't know why the US has so much problems with their fuel when stored. $50 for the box and over $20 back from the gas in it. It was in a tank and you ran it through a filter. 🙂 It's not so bad for larger motors in cars, especially if they are constantly used. But I learned the hard way, that gas in a mower or chainsaw over a couple winters kills carbs. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Sat for at least 5 years in the wrecking yard and 3 with the gas cap off on the side, in the rain and snow of Vancouver Island. It was BRIGHT yellow like a fog light lens. I used a gas filter on a hose and a kitchen funnel. Wayno posted a picture of a container of gas that had separated from sitting. Have never seen or heard of this here. I'm at sea level if that means anything. I drove it and was expecting something but nothing at all happened 1 Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I've started on a new part for the Truck. I'm making a square tube grill. It'll look similar to the ones from the 80s with a few differences. 2 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I like the looks of the grill Mark. One suggestion would be to get some expanded metal to put in behind the grill to protect the radiator from rock damage. Unique nailed. Edited June 6, 2020 by Charlie69 1 Quote Link to comment
