Hmm, here is a little picture help my friend





You have to make sure that the picture web address is inserted between the BBC Image tags like this:

You can either select the BBC image tag from the sites editor menu here and then imbed the web address into that OR in Photobucket you can just copy/paste the "IMG code" directly.  The Photobucket "IMG code" selection is preformated BBC code so you do not have to insert a image code tag from the sites editor.

Also you can use the normal HTML Image tags but you do not imbed them in the sites BBC tags.  Proper way:
<img src="http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad282/arberg/3n53k33pc5V25Q05R6b716d8ef1f0198f1923.jpg" alt="" class="bbc_img" />
Gives you:
" class="bbc_img

If the HTML Image tag is imbedded in BBC tags like this:
[img]]<img src="http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad282/arberg/3n53k33pc5V25Q05R6b716d8ef1f0198f1923.jpg" alt="" class="bbc_img" />[/[/img]
You only get the red "X" like this:


Now go forth and picturize  :)clap

Chevy P30 chassis = Gas tank at the very back of the rig.  There is a elactric fuel
Sheesh typo's  - Busy day at work
There is a electric fuel pump in the tank.  There dhould also be a filter near the rear wheels.  Download the Free Chevy Service Manual from the Memebers Area.  Contains a good description of the fuel system.

From a post I saw over at IVR2 you may have fun looking for the City water hose hookup.  If not readily visible then look in the Sewer dump area.  There also may be a Fresh Water Tank Diverter valve installed.
