I assume the cap is just barely below the deck level so you (and the filler nozzle) can reach it easily. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were doin a bit of work up there and when travelling its like they try to funnel ya into a toll every chance they can, with Google maps helping. Picked my route and it asked me 10 times if i wanted to go and save 5 minutes on the durn toll rd! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doing an average of less than 10% over the posted suggestions, we got about 15 mpg empty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clueless 2,991 #71 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) So Kev, it looks like I'm right at 1000 mile directly south of your place, basically I69 to I65, obviously not that much of a drive for you. I have some stuff you may want if Lane doesn't get it in February. The fuel mileage in that truck shouldn't be that bad since half the trip would be down hill.

To compare that mileage with similar efficiency using regular gas, 24/1.18 = 20.3 mph. Still impressive for a large vehicle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,877 #74 Posted November 7, 2021 Good news is the 520 and 310 are on the ground. I chose to side unload to the farm truck, for more room to maneuver the rest of what’s on Norman. Backed to the road ditch, unloaded the 310, moved a ramp,(here comes the bad news) then POP goes my back. Called Momma for help, she unloaded the 520 and got me to the house. Been laying in the recliner chair watching Meat Eater with the kids for too long when there’s monkeying to do. I’ve been talking about going to the chiropractor for well more than a month. Now I have no choice. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
