Thanks - short version of the Oscar acceptance speech. You know I sat with one of the people who has something to do with the CPI. It was really interesting to hear some solutions but the problem is that until we get a grip on our personal spending and our attitude, it will never change. The...

I am all for ending the Feds reign but it can't be done today. I think a better thing to do is to eliminate the income tax and replace it but.... The part that many don't get is that in order to change it we need to have something happen that forces us to actually replace or have a serious...

I asked this question and the response I got was they make the tanks to deal with the emissions first and then fuel flow rates second. I see what they are driving at when I saw someone with an anti-siphon sleeve stick the nozzle in the tank, set the handle and than walk away. After 30 gallons...

Well Phil I think Moots point is right on in both humor and the object lesson he has provided in both his posts. You do know that you can take that iPhone and have it unlocked which will allow you to use it on any carrier that uses that type of technology. Well there is a map you...

Ratwell, it is good you bring up these points, but as I questioned in another thread why is this not moved to the soap box. I would have moved both this one and the other one there out of consistency. What's going on Mods?

The one I like is the one where they use the line tap and drain the fuel by the cross over line. OVM can't put an alarm anything on a fuel cap, not a DOT thing. the potential for a fire hazard is too risky according the same people who insist we have orange seatbelts. As for removing one, I...

Yea, we know..... :(

The 3000 is a worthless. It is better to spend the $300 on an overhead for your engine before spending it on something like this. I didn't spend that amount but it was a price of a good meal. I borrowed a very good fuel consumption system that tracks everything on the truck and that...

I forgot about that.

You can't live on beer alone, you got to have some poutine to go with it.

I have a habit of taking things apart and cleaning them periodically. I use white lithium grease on the locks for the summer and a oil (used synthetic) in the winter.

Here is one place Locking fuel caps The problem I hear a lot about locking caps is that they need to be cleaned and checked often in the winter or the zinc casting will corrode and you have to break it off. The brass locking cap offered for my truck uses an inexpensive locking mechanism that...

I don't know about that state of affairs in Detroit, the mayor had one and so did a few of the council members in their time, so there is something going on in that 'city'. I too would rather be anywhere than Detroit, and I am thinking that there is more work In Baghdad and more investment...

Hey that was a better response than I got from Stabenow. In the brief reply I got, her office said that we need the diversity to promote the American Ideals and that if we went to an English only country, we will destroy what gains that we made in Civil Rights in the last 50 years. Can you...

Exactly! Mercedes has been working on the bio-fuel tech for a long time and they are producing improvements to both ends of bio-fuels (production to use) while at the same time our 'domestic two' have done nothing except promote a 15 year old technology as new - flex fuel. The hybrid thing is a...

B7..... B7...... I hear Bingo...... who has bingo?

Ark, No I didn't miss your point, I didn't say anything about not having an APU. In fact the RV comment was an attempt at twisted humor of these all inclusive rigs all the while the owner is too good to stay at truck stops in fear of their rigs being scratched or dinged (I am being sort of...

Nothing new there, it is hard to hear someone opening your tanks with your truck idling and the music up loud in the sleeper.

OVM, That's only a third of the story, you are leaving out their work with bio-fuels which makes our 'domestic two' look pathetic at best.

Sorry I meant RV expediting, not RVing.
