    There is nothing wrong with the fuel filter in this picture. This is what they should always look like, for maximum MPG.

    Saw this today on the way back from the store. I think it's been there a day or so. Not a pretty picture. Have quite a few other pictures of cars on their tops and sides.

    Yep, no rest for the weary. I've got some folks that I take care of when I'm home but most folks that I plow out, I don't charge. I know I'll catch flack for it here, but it gives me a great feeling just helping folks out, especially when they don't expect it.

    I have a fuel heater, my Block heater keeps the thing at 90 to 100 Degrees while shut down, I have been running the truck while only wearing a tank top. Inside temp has been around 72 degrees, when I idle, I turn the heat in the front all the way up, but turn off the fan. then I shut the curtain and the bunk stays hot with the rear control. I run the RPMs at 800. that is when Outside is around 0
