since I have checked in with everyone. Been a busy year--got married, back to grad school..... etc....

I hope this finds everyone in good spirits.

The bugeye has ran great for about a year and then.....

I still have that pesky full issue. I have only had it happen to me once since I replaced the regulator.

I was driving along enjoying my morning drive to work when suddenly it staved for gas. Barely made it to a place where my brother could bring a trailor to pick me up. Got it home and didn't get to mess with her until about 9:30 p.m. Turned the key and pressure....

I wonder if I am getting vapor lock or something? Does anyone run a vented gas cap on their BE? I just don't know what the problem could be. Even thought the gauge was messing up again and maybe I was out of gass. That was not the case.

I guess I am just going to have to drive her around the block until I can get it to mess up again. Then mess with her and see if I can figure out teh cause.
 
Yes Bugeye is a vented gas cap.
 
that's a really easy test of course. -either run you gas cap loose or no cap or piece of clingwrap, elastic and hole poked in.
