Hi Gang --
OK - here's my fill up procedure:
When I fill the tank I set the hande on the "Slow Filling" speed on the
2 speed pump handle. It goes in slowly so it
does not foam. When it shuts off I leave it alone and remove the fill
nozzle from the port. I hope this provides a
consistant filling method.
Then I write all the needed numbers down - miles traveled, gallons
needed to fill the tank, price of fuel, etc. Then I reset the trip meter &
drive away --
re: the ALDA - I set my ALDA to the proper specs of 1.0 to 1.5 turns -
then Marshall informed me the suggestion was for diesels produced prior to
mine -- 1991, so I put it back. This is correct, right?
Thx -
