    Ethanol in fuel has so much to answer for, on older cars it literally eats fuel system components from the Tank pump sock.Strainer, Fuel gauge level floats, seals, hose etc.
    I know some states in the US has high E content and it varies a lot as it does here in Aus but lucky for me Victoria still has Ethanol free fuels.
    But wait, theres more!
    It's hygroscopic and soaks up moisture and then dumps it in places to rust stuff up, destroy fuel pumps, injector nozzles etc and the big one for E85 is to add water to the sump oil on cars that sit a while, Ask me how I know this lol

    That blue van interior sure brings back a lot of memories. We had a 78 B200 2 tone blue with blue interior for decades. Thing liked to wander all over the place despite the front end being rebuilt. and it went through 3 steering boxes and needed another when we sold it. Cheaply built vans, always leaked water from the body seams and EVERY time you wanted to take it on a camping trip about a week before about 3 or 4 things would break on it. Never failed to do that. The starter in that van sounds sickly. Glad I don't have to deal with it anymore!

    Judging by the running condition, that van needs more than a new fuel, ignition, lubrication and cooling system 😂😂. You guys are the best!! the spark plug is sparking all over the place but where it suppose to, my buddy's saying it's all good and i can't disagree regarding the whole situation😂😂. Keep it rolling guys, you're on the right path.
