So i darn near ran out of fuel today. Like, the poor truck actually studdered for a second pulling into the station.
I was under the impression the tank was 32 gallons but i somehow managed to fit 39 gallons into it!
Im actually pretty impressed with this since last summer i installed an Airdog and a draw straw and was a little apprehensive on how low the draw straw would acutally work. Apparently, it'll suck dang near everything out! Its not even installed in the basket in the tank, ite right beside it.
I managed to get 587 miles out of this tank with the truck stock, and thats before the correction from using 35" tires. I dunno what that math is.
Usually i run a chip and i think i get a few MPS's better with that on.


I even went as far as to look under the truck to make sure i wasnt pouring fuel out from a leak on the tank anywhere

I'm pretty sure they are advertised as a 34 gallon, but if you fool around with the pump, you can get a few more gallons in there.

Kinda surprised it is five more... maybe you need to measure out a gallon tank and take it up there and see if their pump is accurate...

I'd be pretty bummed if i found the station was skimping on a gallon. My first assumption would be that there knockin off 1/10 per to gain profit

That would be sucky. If you believe they are scamming you, you can call your local Department of Agriculture, I believe. I could be wrong, but I believe that is who inspects the pumps.

If you were actually that low, then I could see it taking that much. I have gone past "0" on the overhead more times than I can remember. I have the vent kit installed and easily get 37 gallons in my tank.

I know I can get 39 gallons in mine but I did do the vent mod.

The pump needs to have a sticker to show the last time it was inspected for accuracy. IIRC this needs to be done once every month or maybe two.

Here in ca.its County Weights and Measure that check our registers

doubt the pumps are off.

long bed, out, like all the way out, gust over or under 41 gallon, can't remember, but it takes forever to get it all the way full, no vent mod yet

I think my manual says 35 plus 4gal reserve. Not sure have to check that.

Long bed tank is 35 Gal, short bed is 34.

After I installed the vent mod I can get pert near 40 + or - a bit, if I run it really low and on level ground.

35-37 with vent mod, more than i can afford lol

Yep, Weights and Measures. Wife used to work for County Ag Pest/Invasive department.

P.S. 5-6 gallons after pump clicks off.

P.S.S. They've caught quite a few stations skimming, whether intentional or not I can't say.

^^ you know they do,, and i bet they always screw the consumer, not the other way around.

Especially since the stations only make 1-2 cents per gallon sold after overhead. The government makes the most off of a gallon from the taxes.
