    If you buy fuel that is a vegetable based bio blend, it will clean that stuff out as well. Have extra fuel filters handy, you'll need them.

    We have a biodiesel plant close by I can buy direct from but im not sure what they use to make it.

    I had noticed that with biodiesel from there I'm changing filters more often in the pickup I had.

    I'll get some more filters and keep them changed out for the next few days as I try to get this cleaned out.

    That was kind of my plan. Still debating whether or not to put a 5th wheel on it. A 14 foot service body would look pretty good on it too.

    Look at the color of the fuel. If it’s a brighter green or yellow, that's vegetable. Dingy yellow or pee brown is animal fat.

    Think of Wesson oil or bacon grease, which would you rather have in your tanks.

    Whew what a day...Dh 120mi, sit for 7hrs, Get loaded and rolling around 6:30 and run 180mi into Weatherford to the Petro so I can unload outside of Ft Worth in the morning. Such a waste of a day.

    I won't be doing any more sub $1000 loads for awhile.

    Alright, I didn't know that. I've got a friend that works for someone who gets fuel from them and ill have him look at it when he fuels next.

    A little coffin sleeper. Small rv water system so a guy could wash his hands and face. Civilized.

    My wife said if I could find a scooter that would do highway speeds, she would get her license.
    I found a 1986 Honda 250 Helix. 130km/hr (about 75mph). She rode for awhile, she prefers to ride a quad off road.
    I put a lot of miles on it before I sold it.

    It was even my service truck.

    Don't really have the room for that. Could rig up a water tank in one of the cabinets though.
