And that is only half a tank!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

  The oil companies would say, go ahead and fill it up, but if you bleed, don't bleed on the pumps.   :biggrin:

That is at full. Like any seasoned diesel owner, I run on the "top end" of the tank; to avoid the crap typically in the fuel that collects in the bottom of the tank, and to increase fuel pressure / mileage.

Hell, I haven't got any blood left after the last two fill ups!  :mad:

I hate it when I talk to someone about a problem someone they care about is having and it becomes all about them. For example: Your daughter has been suffering with a sore throat and swollen nasal passages. Reply: Really? Because I feel like crap too <insert dramatic story about how sick this person has been for the past 15 years here>.

It's every damn thing you tell this person. It turns into a story about how much worse they're feeling, doing, or whatever. Since I'm familiar with the maddening routine, I'd rather just skip the convo, but can't. :mad:

Geez buddy! How about some sympathy for someone else rather than attempting to manipulate the conversation to get sympathy for yourself!! :mad:

  But Horse the pick up for your fuel pump is about an inch or two above the bottom of the tank.  If you want to keep dirt out of your injection system.  Never, never put fuel in while the truck is running.  The new fuel will stir up the crap on the bottom of the tank and away it goes in to your fuel filter before your injectors.

  Also you should clean your fuel filter or buy a new one before winter.  I never had injector problems on my Ford diesel, only glow plugs would burn out.  Not a nice thing to happen on a "0" degree day.   :yes:

I've owned several diesel powered vehicles in my life and I already knew that stuff right there.  :biggrin:

You still own a diesel? If so I hope it isn't a 2003 or earlier version because if it is then the low sulphur version of diesel they're selling everywhere will crack the throttle bodies and tips on your injectors, due to loss of lubricity, unless you are putting in something to increase it at every fill up. (Mine did just that at 107k miles and I had to replace every single injector in it.) I put in a quart of 2 cycle oil at every other fill up since then.

  Does putting oil in your fuel tank work.  I would think it's a waste of money.  I might use some injector cleaner once in a while.  I had a friend who had a Ford Diesel with over 300,000 miles one.  Stubby transported RV trailers all over the country.  He told me that every once in awhile he put a little kerosene in it, especially in the winter.  He also use some injector cleaner in it and change the fuel filter once a year.  He sold his truck just because he wanted a new one with a turbo on it.  Guess what, it was another Ford F-350 Super Duty dually crew cab.  Yes, it was a diesel with a turbo.   :yes: :biggrin:

It works as far as adding lubricity to the fuel, necessary to keep the injector tips and throttle body from cracking.

Mines a turbo diesel too, and I have over 130k on it.

Anybody else hear/read about that idiot 18 year old suburban Chicago teen who planned to detonate a bomb outside of a Chicago bar?

Fortunately the people he was working with were UCE's for the FBI and the bomb he parked outside of the bar on Friday night was inert, and he was with one of those UCE's when he pushed the detonator.  .  .

WTF is wrong with these idiots?  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
