Better stat taking some of those mods off to be safe. Some dealer might let you go if it was not the cause of the problem but if it is then they will not cover it.

thats why you keep all your stock engine parts that you replace with a aftermarket part [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] for the dealer of course

I'm sure you will be fine. Just let the gas settle back into the engine. I remember having to pour gas into the carb in and old pick up. We don't have carbs and our fuel injectors are electronic so they don't work when the car isn't on. So, pushing the gas peddal won't do shiit. Just crank it a few times, but not too much at a time, you will drain the battery.
