Howard, the tank heater is electric, there was a cord hanging out of the grill. The hose was plumbed from the fitting by the starter and then teed into the normal hose over near the trans cooler area.
The fuel pump comment just means that there is a lot of dirt and old grease covering the pump. I normally work on airplanes so I'm not used to that much dirt, amazing to me that stuff still works that way sometimes. Like for instance the front suspension - the airplane mechanic in me wants to disassemble the whole works, make it all new, and put it back. But I imagine if I just clean it up, pull the frozen zerks and use a little bit of heat to flow the old grease that stuff would be good to go as long as I don't detect any play in the bushings etc.
Anybody have thoughts about what you had to do for that stuff?
