hooked another gas jockey!

Perhaps you mean those alkalie sloughs? Those are the ones with a crust of salt on top about 5 cms thick, covering a body of the thickest, gooeist, stinkingest mud you've ever been near!

Yes! THose are what I mean exactly! LOL

Those are the ones we swam in as children. Not only mud in the bottom, lots of manure around the site. Ideal places for 'swimmer's itch'. The days when there was water on the prairies.

Ah yes, the alkali slough. Not much grows in them thar puddles…

And I forgot to mention, the subject title actually fits with the topic again. …speaking of manure and swimming…

I thought you guys just liked the subject heading…..

it's sure had a long run….

…. but I think that it is running out of gas!

dont go there, this is already way too long.
no more gas talking!

tempting….

I wonder how long a car can run on fumes? When my low fuel warning light goes on I just give it another 10k, especially on my way to work. I never let it run dry, but I'm tempted to just to see what'll happen and when. Is it safe to store gas in that red container for long, I heard that the friction involved with the gas splashing around can cause a fire. I don't know.

when my truck hits low fuel I have about 5 litres of fuel left. This totally isn't where I expected this thread to go LOL

This thread is bringing out the 'risk takers'.

"This totally isn't where I expected this thread to go LOL"

…let dr tell us when we've run out of gas.

Sergeants NEVER run out of gas.

Sergeants NEVER run out of gas

Heh, how true that is… especially since last field ex the A1 Echelon was short on drivers so I ended up driving the POL truck… too funny.

the POL truck

Let me guess… Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants?

Hopefully some of those lubricants were in well chilled 12 ounce containers!

Let me guess… Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants?

You got it.

Iam not sure gas splashing in the can is the problem what I here is a problem is friction of metal containers on a fiberglass truck liner you are supposed to take the tank out of the truck box.

Reply to the gas cans (red containers)

In these there will not be enough Oxygen gas to supply food for the fire to burn. It is just a small container will not much air inside. Also the container is approved by the underwriters labratory and should not catch on fire, nor cause a fire. You would need the can to be open to start a fire in the container, circulating air gas from convection currents, etc.

Interesting. Now I feel free to run my tank empty and see what happens next. I'll keep you posted, may be a while 'cause I just filled up, gas 'on sale' at 69.4!

So did you make it to your DP's with 2nd line on time? Or was it that kind of ex.

(Going to Grizzly?)

Gas in MOntreal is only 65.9? Out here it's 72.9! And to think in the summer of '99 it was only 35.9

72.9? that's it? we are at 74.9 right now.

My lord, I thought it was just Quebec with the highest prices, it is rare nowadays that it dips below 70, last week it was 74. In '97, diesel was just 49.9, so it only cost me ~$500 in gas to get here. Sold my mountainbike for $400, best milage I ever got out of it.
