    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    ok first some background:
    This year on my birthday i only got $20 dollars but i was ok with it because i knew everybody was broke.

    so today while i was watching the all-star game on TV-my uncle walks in and sais "go get your gas tank your aunt is taking it to mexicali to get it repaired" so i go outside and when i was about to take off the cover it had on it-suddenly my friend pops a parter popper on me -and i'm tinking to myself wtf did he do that for-so then i remove the cover and i see a brown box-so i open it and i find a brand new gas tank

    and then he sais well you finally got your birthday present

    here are some pics of the old one

    I believe that was to prevent anyone from siphoning gas out of your tank.

    I also believe that is what makes my gas come dumping back out if I try to fill up to fast.

    Nice present! (y)
