    But not for long....
    so this morning on my way to a new clients shop I stoped and filled up with what should have been gas.... not 5 miles down the road the truck lost all power and had a hard time staying running.... called a tow truck had sent to the dealer... got a call an hour later... more water in the tank than gas.... they had 5 vehicles come in with the same problem.
    Truck will be there for the week end :(

    I pour a bottle of HEET in every other fill up especially during the winter.

    Had the ole watered down gas happen to me once. I'll never buy gas there again.
