Default Fuel Starvation?

Here's the rub..... do those unnamed retailers cut the gasoline 50/50
with alcohol after it hits the truck?



Nope...sometimes if they run out of "high test" the truck driver will drop
a couple of dye tablets into the truck at the terminal so it'll convert
white regular gas into colored "high test" before it gets to the station.
Gas truck drivers pull up to the Hess dump...fill the truck and head out to
refill the stations as quickly as possible, including the overpriced
marinas! There's no "additives" in behind the seat to treat 70,000 gallons
of regular! They'd have to tow two trailers, one with additives. You
can't drop a pill into 70,000 gallons to change anything. What a hoot!

The "Texaco" at Ashley Marina comes in on a tank truck from a truck company
in N Charleston....not TEXACO. The driver just wants to get it over with
so he can go home to see his kids and drink beer....like everybody else.
