A 1992 Subaru Legacy (Tragon) doing Devil's Bathtub

That?s legit!

Dude, they did the entirety of Hell's Revenge under their own power. They had to get winched back UP a hill to take a better line down one time. Another time they had to get towed up a hill because the fuel filter was clogged and it would lose power at steep angles. I think they changed the fuel filter twice during the whole trip. I was feeling all cool doing Hell's, and they did 99% of everything that I did. Doh.
Oh yeah, they drove that car from Grand Junction and back. Legit for sure.

I replaced this blown up fuel pump a while back:



The Jeep ran fine for a bit, then didn?t. No gas getting to the carb. Replaced the fuel pump again (cheap and easy), no change. I put the intake hose to the fuel pump into a bottle of gas, sucked it up just fine and ran well. That put the problem somewhere behind the pump. I tried to see if I could suck some gas up through the line to the pump, no resistance, just gas vapor (yum). So,

We pulled the tank today:



The hoses from the tank are rotted through - explains why only pulling air.



All parts are ordered, hopefully...

And as long as the Jeep is torn apart, I also took the carbs off the Pinz for rebuild, installed a solid state ignition (PinzSSI) and replaced the vacuum lines. Hopefully it?ll be back up to snuff soon.

Nice work. You going to clean that tank while you're at it? That was the problem with the Subaru. Tank was filthy and they cleaned it, but not all the way so it all broke loose and coffee the fuel filter over and over.

I just ordered a new tank (and sender unit/fuel intake). $75, vs trying to clean a varnished 40 year old tank. I’ll leave that ambitious stuff for guys like you!

Oh yeah, at that price it's a no brainer.

That?s awesome! Saw this Subaru earlier, looked like it was on 31?s.

Couple videos from Moab.

Hell's Revenge


7 Mile Rim


Devil's Bathtub


We attempted Potato Salad Hill, but none of us made it all the way up unassisted.

Very nice but that's not Devil's Hot Tub. The way deeper and steeper one is.
