    Another tid bit of useless life experience, Tanker driver gets to his last stop and someone miscalculated the drop. He was suppose to offload 3,000 gallons of regular but the stop could only take 2,000 gallons. Dispatch will find him a place to drop that last thousand gallons on the way back...

    That was most likely water in the ground tank. And or lots of other sediments. I use BP and the station goes through tankers really quick. Always pick a station that pumps a shit ton of fuel. Fresher fuel is good. Shit Ton = a bunch of tankers showing up all the time. Crap ton same same:’P

  17. 2023 2.0 Ecoboost Transmission complete Failure at 83k miles - No Help from Ford 9k to fix

    Proof positive ! This is why I bought the extended warranty. And will trade in/up before it expires. $9,000 for a tranny, I’ve considered the risk and I thinks it’s very small. But still I’m not letting that happen to me. My warranty covers all the expensive crap and then some.
