The rumble strips along the shoulder on interstates do the same thing (saved
us a lot of stops on the way back to PA from MG Indy '96 in the MGC).
Seemed to work best when slowing down to <50. We thought it was coincidence
the first time we started to pull off the road; the second time, we realized
that if the vibration was enough to rattle our teeth, it was doing the same
thing to the fuel pump....
Hey, Dave Houser -- do you remember the 1986 Great American Race and the
Spirit of Wilkes-Barre????
