And I'll be filling in NYS to save money! Still 25% to 40% cheaper depending whether I can go thru Irving or not ;) be paid back in a few tankfuls

Very helpful turtle exactly what I needed to know. Bobwolf only a newbie to open road (and sprinters) I had a route before. Think I'll have to make sure I'm legal and dump the tank to a drum at home before a heavy load, turn it down if I get stuck out with the aux full...lots of hassle to save a...

Thank God I didnt buy the Ford srw cube and add a 1000 lbs of propane and cng tanks to it

I do get all that. Just trying to figure out how the sprinter van fits in here, I've only driven in NY PA and OH up to now . . . never have I even considered being checked for weight, and the sprinter doesn't give you much...im trying to reconcile this with stories about people titling sprinters...

Ignore that. For ontarians under a CVOR yes otherwise it's not regulated here. Other provinces don't have CVOR. But all pickups and vans use commercial plates (black lettering instead of blue) I should retitle this thread to "like a moron I'm going to add a 500 pound gas tank and all the sudden...

Thanks . . . and to avoid posting another thread ;) I'm confused . . . i get that I don't need to scale, but I technically have canadian commercial plates....any truck or van not used primarily for personal transportation must here, separate of the under 10000 lbs . . . how does that work when I...

Armchair quarterbacking. No safety emissions or insurance yet And I meant...well you probably know what I meant :rolleyes:

Crap I don't want to start all this again about weight but 5526 is given as the curb most often, with me and nothing else 5800 so 8550-5800=2750 no wonder nobody's interested. Told the carrier I think it can take 3200! What states scale sprinters again? :D

Digging around methinks my estimate of 5300 empty is a tad optimistic. Especially since I'm 262. Might be useful to carry fuel home tho, when empty, I turn and burn if there's no backhaul...even that I might have to rethink, diesels not 90 cents per gallon I've been isolated with the natural...

I'm out $200 or so if it doesn't work. I don't see a difference weight wise, I've been offered a 3200 lb load once this year...I usually go out from home, so it wouldn't be full and I could siphon out the diesel if I had too I guess...i've carried 7 gas cans, saying it's for the generator when I...

Solved the gauge and transfer problem, just have to decide where to plumb into stock tank. Plan on using manual switch/relay.

Thanks for posting numbers on refer freight. I've been curious for a long time. Had to stop listening to Ramsey I don't like the stocks game but the way you did it I agree 100%. Now in Canada bankruptcy erases tax debt . . . if you prove you don't owe but they take it anyway, it's an easy...

Before I get attacked . . . yes I know 8550 GVW...but diesel here varies 3.20 to 3.80 a gallon here right now . . . . looking to run my Canada stuff on US fuel and I found a 2016 aft plastic diesel tank takeoff for 150... he's not sure if it's 43 or 52 gallons but it's big :D Planning on...

Good morning it's 70 degrees and sunny in bustling Newcastle Ontario Canada...thinking I'd better get the A/C working...time to rush the honey-do list before the wife gets home so it looks like I didn't spend all my time watching Netflix...

BOTH wow...as an expediter you likely carry a change of underwear :) before too long I'll attack the visible rust underneath with that conversion paint then thick rustproofing...also have wands and a few gallons of the stuff for inside body panels...

Small update. Turned rotors just a smidge, pads ok . . . Brake lines exploded when touched, so fluid got flushed with 4+, after power steering and rearend oil ready for safety!

For the courts I guess. Makes for interesting reading on my weekend off I'm waiting for the transits to drop in price. My Ram Van cng has been certified as an ultra low emissions vehicle in each year it was produced. I like diesel, but propane in Canada and cng in US have usually been half the...

I never followed past the headlines, do the owners of the vw's fail emissions and have to park them? Agreed on emissions. One of the first things I'll do is tune out the egr on my 05

Bored enough stuck at home to do some research. Story originally broke Feb 19th, no sprinters named in lawsuit just cars and suvs. Mercedes-Benz facing lawsuit over BlueTec diesel emissions

Second call for long run. Missed opportunites for wife's weekend total so far about 900 dollars (net). Still driving the couch to nowhere
