FYI fuel gauge WAY off
« on: October 08 2013, 09:15:28 PM »
Went to drain my fuel tank out to get ready to run 110 octane. My gauge (digital dash) said 4 gallons. I hooked up a hose to rail and started pumping, got about 1.5 gallons out and no more gas. Since I had car I have been running down to 3 or 4 gal on gauge before filling up. I guess that's a thing of the past now!

Keep an eye on the fuel pressure to make sure the pump is doing its job.

Most talk about having thick skin but thats just BS.
This damn attitude of "you didn't listen to us/me now you should burn in hell for it" really sucks.
