CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Probably not so much the fuel itself but the tanks etc its been in along the way before it hits the filter.

Today i....
Pulled out my rear seat and back rest to get access to my rear speakers.
I took them out so i could slide my massive sub under them in the boot
to free up space in my boot ( as i had it a different angle taking u more
room in there before ) then i put the speakers back in and reassembled the back seat.

So now if i want my spare tyre or to change subs i need to repeat that process :lol:

Thanks to Dstocks for giving me tips on taking out back seat and speaker =]

Oh and i also installed my back left tailight, getting my car back to normal again yay

Now just for the group buy rear bumper, installation of my front lip, the dint taken off my left door and readjustment of my scissor doors.
