No, this was empty. But sometimes I'm on the phone, in a hurry, or otherwise not paying attention until it's too late. I typically don't have to fill up that often.Originally Posted by agjohn02
Really? Thanks for that insight, I never thought of that before. I'll write that one down.
Grayson, that's what a warranty is for. It's been there twice for it. Still an issue though. The last time with a trailer, it ran out showing just under 1/4 tank on a climb in CO. I think it was likely a pickup issue as much as anything.
Most of the bad rap came from the 1st trip to CO when I had the heaviest load and the smallest tank. Everyone always wanted to push to the next place, including me. We all got a lesson on how fast the 2nd half of the tank disappears. My digital range display is typically right on. I just had to learn to work with it.
When leaving Alma, I told Troy what I had, which was right at the distance to the end location for the night. He thought there would likely be a place in between or that I'd make it. There was not a single place open with diesel. I ran out 2 miles outside of town. Pretty much exactly where it had predicted 2+ hours before.
It's also been an issue finding places with diesel while travelling off major highways or late at night. I started carrying two fuel cans after the first trip. Hasn't been a real issue since. I've gotten good at using the hand primer.
