Red face Don't ya just love it when your on vacation and you miss out on a GREAT deal?

So I was at a family reunion in Colorado this past weekend, took Thursday and Friday off from work to be there. I come back to work this week to find out that the D10R we have in the yard thats being scrapped for parts needed its fuel drained. 1100 litres of diesel I could've tapped into for NOTHING. At first I said "well thats offroad fuel, I can't run that". Nope it was clear, perfectly fine and good to use #2. Gahhh I would've been loading up a few 55 gallon drums had I been there. I still believe that I always miss out on the good deals regardless of what they are.

Just thought I'd share.

Uh, its ok, it was only 290 gallons. Not worth mentioning
Had it been 1100 Gallons though... I would run off, buying a trailer bowser.
