    This won't be a problem once the California diversion tunnels are complete.

    Small window unit, under $200. I’ve got 2 of them. 6000’btu and a 8000 btu. Paid $340 for both of them, for my daughters apartment. Only used 1 or 2 summers. Now they’re sitting in my garage.

    Do companies allow drivers to keep the truck engine on all night?

    The fuel gauge in Blackie is dying. Works. Doesn't work. Works. Doesn't work.

    Place your bets folks. Gauge or loose wire.

    Fortunately we were home schooled and have a calculator app so we can manually calculate our fuel.

    And we also have Blackie telling us how much is used, but still must calculate.

    Some still do. It costs about one gallon per hour to idle. APUs Cost $10-$15k, but save money over time. Last 15 years they’ve gained popularity. Majority have the now.

    Idling is bad for the children and Saguaro Cactus.
    So idling and non emissions trucks are frowned upon on the WIIS thread.

    Loose/ corroded wire inside tank. Easy fix, either add a screw to it, or re solder it. Might have to replace it. Maybe $100 for parts. Just guessing. Translates into $1000 at Dealership. Multiple tests will be needed, along with hazardous disposal fees, shop clean up fees. We saw you coming fee. And tax, can’t forget the tax. Should only take about 7 hrs. at $115 an hr.
