    I don't see an extra gallon hurting anything.

    If you get a truck serviced at the speedco in Gary, they'll gladly overfill it a similar amount. Like Tucker said, it isn't gonna hurt anything.

    I suppose I can take it off your hands for $1200 or so. Scrap value right now is about $90/gross ton (GT is 2200#), and a bobtail weighs about 22K.... So I'm really doing you a huge favor, 33% over the value...
