Or D.I.O.D.s (Dual Income Only Dogs)

It would now likely take an archeological team to uncover the original topic to this thread.

I guess that would make me a N.I.O.D.

Re: 46 Gal Transferflow Diesel fuel tank

D.I.O.K., and hopefully D.I.T.K. (that's two, not three).

Somehow that just doesn't 'sing' like D.I.N.K.

Re: 46 Gal Transferflow Diesel fuel tank

Ok, I know this seems crazy at this point, but I'm going to post something on the topic.

Mine's an '09. Alan at SMB West mentioned that after the low fuel light I could count on 10 more gallons of fuel in the tank because of the way the float works.

Low fuel light comes on when the van thinks it has 50 miles to go before empty. I had 10 gallons of diesel with me so I decided to find out the truth.

50 miles later, the computer started to momentarily cut out the engine as if to say, "Hey dude, quit screwing around and get me some fuel before bad things happen."

About 15 miles later I pulled over and filled up. The van took 43 gallons.

One more side note, Scatter appears to be correct about the fix to the tank. After the pump clicks off, if I work at it I can only get one MAYBE two gallons more in depending on the pump.

O.I.F.K.D. (One Income Four Kids and a Dog)...

Re: 46 Gal Transferflow Diesel fuel tank

I have found that I have ~9 gallons left when hitting empty and the low fuel light comes on.

Each quarter tank on the gauge seems to be about 1/5th of the tank volume.
