Default going for it...

going to see if I can join the 700 miler club. 670 miles on the odo, breathing fumes. last time it was this low, I filled it up and had 2 gallons left, so I figure I might be able to make it.. I filled up a gas can with 1.6 gallons of diesel just in case.

If it runs out- whatever you do, don't let it suck air for too long!!! You may have to bleed it at the injectors if it won't start. Good luck!

lol, eh... the fuel filter gets swapped with the oil next week


I dont think there is much crap in the tank, I ran b20 & then b99 not too long ago, then swapped the filter.

Do you have an aftermarket tank? Mine is only 34 gallons.. yours must obviously be much larger
