Usually not at the ranch
Good lookin' is relative. Relative to how many cold drinks you have

oh so it depends on the number of cold drinks that provide the intensity of the goggles? lol

Cool!
But two jugs in the back might put you over gross ....... and you have more than enough with just one....No?

What's the reduction in mileage with your Home Brew??

Dont know yet...still on the one tank......this is good...because i filled it up to where you couldnt not get any more fuel in unless you wanted a mess.....SO i should be able to get the exact usage out of this one....

Speaking of fuel tanks....13Fox (May not apply to a 05 Yetta) or BrIan....did yall do the "Ventectomy" yet on the tank? Will fill up almost 1.5 gallons more if you do.....

that sounds like a terrible idea, with fuel prices they way they are it would cost an extra $7 at the pump

Dan I have not heard or done this mod yet. I have noticed that the fuel gauge will not show full for some reason. Maybe this is why? You are right about the milage best so far has been 50 and the worst was 35mpg when I filled up yesterday. But of course that last tank was all 80-85mph+ speeds.

Anybody want to help me out and give me part numbers of what i need to do to hoof up my fuel pressure guage. Ever since I have had the fass I havent had the guage going and would like to have it back. People have told me what to get to splice into the lines but seems complicated and I cant ever find the right pieces. So what can I do to hook it up where the fass pump is? I need some help I have been stumped on this for a while. Pictures would be good to haha. Im a visual learner!
