Just remember, if it could have been done wrong, it was done wrong.
Program was started on a shoestring with no mechanic, a backyard tank, and no way to tell when it was full or how full it was. When in a high-speed chase, a block of ice formed on the carburetor.
Due to technology enhancements we’ve come a long way.

Technology is much easier to work with, much more dependable.
It’s a safe fuel, tanks are 20 times stronger than a gas tank and have withstood 60-plus mile an hour impacts with no leaks.
