I started my /6 up tonight just to hear it run for a while. I turned on the lights and noticed that when the parking lights were on, the tank indicated about 3/4 full. When the head lights were turned on it indicated 1/4 full. I did this a couple of times to make sure that I was seeing that I thought I saw. Yep, about the second time I did this, smoke started coming out of my dash. LOTS of it. I turned off the engine, made sure there was no fire in the dash and then disconnected the battery.

What a way to start the week. Makes me think about selling the /6 with some of the problems I have had with it lately.

Thanks for listening to my ranting. I guess this weekend I will be pulling the dash apart to see what smoked...
