one of the reasons I'm running a cable drive fuel pump off my dry sump oil pump is that if the oil pump belt fails it stops the fuel flow.
Actually that's a good point, they do have some inertia switches that will turn the power off to the electric fuel pumps, I think it's about $100 though. I rolled a SUV when I was younger and it stopped running. As long as the engine stops running there will be no power to the fuel pumps. But that is a good point Michael, 'touche!
Except for my current '65 all of my trucks had/have dual tanks and it is a great thing.
Most anyone that has had dual tanks seems to feel that way. the second tank is a nice piece of comfort knowing it's there. Just knowing you don't have to stop immediately, just flip the switch on the dash. I like that feature, and seeing I have 2 tanks in my old pickup, I see no reason not to use them.
Writing this from the Grand Californian at Disneyland tonight. We went by one place today where gas was $5.29.9 a gallon. Reason enough for a 600 mile range.
That is frickin' robbery! I thought the gas was high here where I live, well, I KNOW it is...but they are raping the Disney guests, IMO.
I filled up my Tacoma last night. A Chevron that I used to go to was $4.29/gal (and 9/10ths, don't forget that!). I bought at a Valero about 2 miles away for $3.79/gal. That's 0.50/gallon, which is $5 for 10 gallons, that's a LOT of money to throw away. This is a very common spread, and that was 87 octane. We see about a $0.20 spread between 87 octane and 91 octane.
I can drive 3 hours to Fresno and get gas for about $0.50/gallon cheaper than in the Bay area. It's the same gas coming from the same refinery in the Bay area...
How much are you guys paying in Nevada right now?
