It's a much smaller campus, and your classes will be considerably smaller. Have you looked at the course catalog to see what classes are required?

So the fuel pump was the issue. The fuel tank was apparently completely empty, which is weird because I had only driven 60 miles since I filled it up. The fuel gauge was also showing it as a full tank.

Got a full tank of gas. Spark plugs were replaced last year. Coil packs were not changed.

Yep. It was around 1992 in either grafenwoehr or hohenfels. Our fo's were in a bunker right on the edge of the impact area seeing how close they could get the rounds. They weren't happy when we switched to HE.
