Sorry
Black Beauty, you need to turn on the Weather Channel. The panhandle of Florida has had lows in the upper 20's the past few nights. Alabama has been even colder. I know it's not nearly as bad as what you're suffering through but it's not what we're used to.
As for the gas tank, I was wondering how much soap got in there and how that would affect the gas.

I never watch the weather channel, that`s for those who want something to complain about... You can`t control it, and you`re pretty much stuck with it, nothing I`m interested in...
Good luck with the gas problem.
PS. I was thinking, how did you close the door with the cap hanging through.
Did the body get scratched...?

Originally from Dothan, but now live in Birmingham. Are you in AL too?
That would've added nice insult to injury, huh? :) Nah...no damage to the side of the car. I couldn't believe I had done something so mind-numbingly careless.
One more question: Where does one buy dry gas? I googled heet and immediately found vendors.
This was not the case though when I googled "dry gas".
BTW, made the trip to wal-mart and back on my HHR (about a 30 mile trip) and still noticed no problems.

I use "Sta-Bil" gas stabilizer every winter it dries out any moisture or water in the Gas... Google that up, But it's in most any parts store... Follow directions..
PS: I personally think leaving the tank 1/2 full, may not be the best thing..
I'd add enough Sta=Bil for a full tank & then fill it up. That will help mix it thoroughly.. It will also help dilute whatever amount of soap/water & etc, your HHR may have ingested..
Better safe than sorry.. Sta=Bil is only a few bucks...
