My New 'Big Ho'

[Mountain Whiskey]

I'm a boater and there is a similar school of thought in the marine world. However, I always use fuel stabilizer and ethanol-free fuel in my boats. For motor vehicle use, I'm less worried about condensation and more concerned about the E-10 ethanol fuel sitting in the tank.

I understand that.

Really ethanol fuel is stable enough (probably not for a marine environment though). I have a 350 gallon fuel tank at the house. I use it more for backup (like te recent pipeline thing). I probably only get it filled two or three times a year because you have to let it get pretty low for them to deliver. I dump a quart or so of Lucas fuel treatment in it when filled.

The large amount of fuel holds up well. Small amounts like my pressure washer go bad in no time.

Really, unless it does not move for a year, it should not matter. Heck, drive to the store twice and you need a fill up with the fantastic milage these trucks get!

BTW, I always wanted a boat but I **** away money enough on land vehicles. I could not imagine if I had a hole in the water that I was trying to stop up with money!

BTW, on my drive back home from Lake Charles, I came across a guy near Atlanta that had either a Ford Raptor or a 3.5 Ecoboost F150 that he had "poser'd up" to look kind of like Raptor. He had a loud aftermarket exhaust. My question: I have nothing against the Ecoboost engines but what sane person thinks an uncorked turbo-V6 engine sounds anything other than exceedingly annoying?

PICS?

Here it is. Nothing fancy, but I think it's an awesome truck !!

You know if a vehicle sits it is better to have a full tank. The less air in the tank, the less condensation that can accumulate.

This used to be more of an issue when vehicles had metal tanks. Now that they are made of plastic they don't have the same problem with condensation. Or rust LOL.

Yes correct.

Laramie seats recline as long as it isn't a Quad Cab. Quad Cab seats do not recline.

EDIT: Oh, I see. It's that little thing overhead that says OPEN w/ picture of rear window.
