Do the vent mod and you'll get close to 40 gallons, no waiting.

Please. What vent mod?! I'd really like to know. Sounds great to me. Is it a Gov't. thing ?

If I drive 100miles with the low fuel light on I can still only get 35 gallons in it. Don't really want to run out of fuel to see how far I can go. The vent mod lets it fill faster.

Do a search on vent mod or fuel tank vent mod. Costs less than $40. Pretty easy to install (once you drop the tank). Allows you to fill the entire tank with diesel. Saves ALOT of time standing around pumping fuel...
