OK Jim,
    I'll try topping up the tank as you suggest,  but I'm wondering how much 
extra fuel goes into
the tank by topping off?  A quart maybe?

    As far as the comments from the person saying to fill up in the AM - I 
thought the temp was stable once you get around 6" into the ground?

Thx ya'll --
