Morning all. I did not know pigs had fuel tanks?

Back home yet?


A balmy 9* here this morning, I know its not arctic temps, but still cold enough the dogs don't want to stay outside.


Have a great day everyone,

Tim

Cool, you might have it then. Hard problem to sort out. Did it have any loss of power on the top end? Not allot, but like it just didn't pull quite the same on the big hills.

Not that I noticed, no. I tried that too. And the weirdest thing is, when I took the fuel cap off yesterday morning after the truck had sat all night, the tank had pressure in it. Or suction. I dunno which, but I heard an 'escaping air' sound when I took the cap off. You'd think that it wouldn't have either with a fuel line leaking.

Gotta GO!

Hey! Almost missed ya!

Yeah, we made it home. And yes, pigs have fuel tanks... 1998 model pigs at least!

We're teachin' a JFS class for DFS in January in Holyoke. Wanna come?

Since it is the city I work in, I will place myself at your disposal. We have a JFS team on the department, are you working with them?

Actually, Kevin from DFS is setting everything up. We just did a JFS 1 class in Lawrence. I think he's looking for a place to hold the class right now.

He will most likely set it up in where I stated. Even if he doesn't I will be happy to attend. That's a good thing you do Scott, very very important, keep up the hard work.

Thanks Tim!

I can send you the form if you want me to. Attendance is limited to 24 - 26 people. It will be a DFS class but it is the National Fire Academy curriculumn and you'll get a NFA certification. This is the curriculumn that I had a hand in developing for the last 7 or 8 years, so it's new stuff, not the same ol' garbage that's been around for eons.

My biggest gripe with DFS has always been that they forget the state continues west after Worcester, so at least they're finally listening!
