My friend had been in there while I was getting gas and he said, "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING INSIDE THAT RESTROOM!" Well, he wasn't kidding. After that, I went inside to use the restroom. Luckily the place was open and I filled the tank to the brim. The highway patrolman escorted us down to the next exit where where we had the choice of an adult bookstore and a run down gas station that didn't appear to be open. Notice the semi roaring by just a few feet away off to the left side of the second picture. I don't know if he was called or if he just found us on a routine patrol. My friend was taking pictures of me right as the highway patrolman pulled up behind us to make sure everything was ok. bottles of water and cut the bottom out with a pocket knife, creating a funnel for the gasoline. We then walked back to the car and decided that the mouth of the milk jug wouldn't fit into the gas fill tube. So, I inserted a credit card and hoped the attendant inside wouldn't notice the person who just walked up off the street and started filling a milk jug with gasoline. I figured the main difference was the thickness of the plastic and I was just using this for a short while anyways. I knew that both milk jugs and gas cans are made of HDPE plastic so I didn't have to worry about the gas eating the plastic. I made note of a sign on the gas pump stating it was illegal to use unauthorized containers for gas. or so.Īnyways, we emptied out one of the water jugs and were shaking out all the residual water out as we walked back up the entrance ramp to the gas station. We were going on a long trip and had lots of gallon milk jugs filled with water along with a few of the typical skinny plastic water bottles that hold 16 oz. just past the entrance ramp for an exit where a gas station was located. So, I had gone about 40 miles with the light on and the truck died.
One factor I didn't account for was that the truck was likely burning a lot more of this low quality gas to go the same distance. So, I decided to run out as much of this junk gas as possible before filling up. The truck was running real rough, had stinky exhaust, and had no power whatsoever.
I believe this holds 18.3 gallons.Īnyways, I had some REALLY bad gas this one time.
Anyways, the light comes on with 1/4 of a tank remains. The truck is rated to drive about 380 miles on a tank of gas but I am pretty sure I could get 420 under the right conditions. This truck once went almost 100 mi with the low fuel light on on a lonely stretch of highway in Utah. I drive a 2000 Chevy S-10 pickup with a 4.3L V6.
