Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Advice on what to do and were to get parts?? 308 re commission

Fuel – did you use a stabilizer?  Did you fill the tanks full to prevent water condensation?

 

If not – fill up tanks – driver gingerly thru the whole system.  Found on the internet – and we KNOW the internet is correct . . .

 

“The total fuel tank capacity is 18.5 US gallons / 70 litres this includes the "reserve". ... Basically the low fuel warning light comes on when there is about 4 gallons left in the tanks...”

 

A full system gives you about 160 miles to 200 miles.  Do a lazy tour/s  https://www.newzealandselfdrivetours.co.nz/touringinnewzealand.php

 

Nice tours - - - but it sounds like its getting a bit cool – drive with the top off if that’s an optioun.  Hot air from the front radiator waffs into cab and keeps you warm while you look cool.

 

Enjoy your car again –

Subject: [Ferrari] Advice on what to do and were to get parts?? 308 re commission

 

Hiya guys,

Long time no post.  I have decided that the time is high to get the 308 back on the road.

I bought it 12 years ago, right after it had a fully dealer service at 60000 miles.  I drive it 2000 miles and have hardly used it since. It has not run in 3 years.

I have a very good workshop and the skills to do a service and get it back on the road and I am making a list of what needed and looking at where to buy the parts needed.

Please take a look at my list and see what I might have missed or what might not really be needed...

Regards

Gavin
