    Yes no bunk heat or apu on this loaner truck. The crappy biodiesel we paid 4 dollar a gallon for in washington , became cloudy overnight and almost prevented us from starting the rig in the morning. That stuff is good for nothing

    Long term strategy: Only buy enough fuel in WA to comfortably get you back to an appropriate MT fuel stop.
    MT = lower IFTA tax rate and no sales tax+ real winter fuel. Don't feed the WA politicians!

    p.s. You have been putting in Deicer not +32 windshield wash?

    You get a pass on the "TAIN VIOLATION", bein' sick and all. Keep hittin' the Robitussin.


    Yeah, like everyone else said. Ethyl mercaptan.

    Gallon and a half of it odorizes 10000 gallons of liquid propane.

    I loaded propane once at a place that was emptying their main holding tank, and they were adding mercaptan to the load, manually.

    They were pumping the mercaptan from a drum into a marked glass pitcher, then pouring it into a funnel fitting.

    I was sitting in my truck, about 30 feet away from them, and I #### near hurled.

    Nasty stuff.

    Not 100% sure, it’s not supposed to have little chunks in the Robitussin
    Maybe it just greatly helps.

    but that’s post reminded me to take another dose..
