[Roadsters] out of hibernation problems

[Pat Horne]

A filter that will not pass fuel can pass air, so blowing through it is 
not a good test. Pour fuel into it and see if it flows out the bottom.

There is a plate in the bottom of the trunk that accesses the fuel tank 
sender/pick up. Pop it off, remove the sender, and see what is in the 
tank. The fuel pick up is not part of the sender, but I think you can 
see it from the opening.

Peace,
Pat
