Amen, the GRAND POOBAH has spoken

my quest is that by big eliminator has about 80-100 gallons in belly tank is the fuel still good and how long it has been there since July/Aug should i pump it out and use it or will it stilll be good in June any body let me know thanks h2oicon

h2oicon,

I've been told that fuel looses about 1 octane rating per month in a sealed container.  After nearly a year your 92 octane fuel could be 80.  Take the boat out and use the fuel thats in it or pump it out (using the boat sound like more fun)   

Has nothing to do with yer truck being a gas hog...

actually, ive been getting 16-18 mpg....the titan was getting 12.

1 car or 20 cars....I think the cops will respond when I have hard evidence such as video of someone in the complex steeling their neighbors gas. (IF someone is jackin my gas) Do you think they are going to tell me to deal with it and its not their problem until more people complain about it? youre a retard. 

I never said I was going to do anything "Macho" and confront this guy.....so you can take that "All of you macho types" comment back.   

...back to your statement about the cops "not showing up"... you do insurance claim repairs, right? those people have to file police reports in order to file a claim with the insurance company, right? explain to me how those police reports are made. 

Thanks for the lecture. 

I don't know WTF your problem is, why you are so flockin defensive when it comes to me.    You tell others to not call each other names yet you are calling me a retard when you don't even know WTF you're talking about.    I think you're just waiting for me to lash out back at you so you can remove me from the board again. Whatever, I am a very patient person.

Yes, I think the police are going to tell you to deal with it even if you have a clear video "facial shot" of the theif.

I have read several times on this board about people wanting to confront thief's with their weapon of choice in hand and I do not recomend anyone doing that. Not even you Brad.     Honest people die all of the time trying to stop a thief.

99.9% of the police reports filed in SD County relating to car theft/vandalizm are done over the phone.

Uh yea, lecture... uhmmm... whatever... 

Brad , they take police reports over the phone , maybe not where you are but here that is just how they decide to it. Unless it is over $1000 , then they will send out a actual person.

   Like I typed before, I honestly don't know the procedure, but I have heard it several ? hundred ? times where several thousand dollars of stereo stuff was stolen out of a vehicle and the police didn't show up.

I just thought of something, if you can catch the thief while he's stealing from you and you can get the police on the phone while he's stealing from you, you have a much better chance of the police showing up.




I'll go back to ignoring each and every post you make Brad because it's clear to me you're not over your butt hurting yet from our last fallout many months ago.     WTF   

please stay on topic

I dont know if this was posted yet or not.  But a locking gas cap only causes damage to the truck, if they want the gas they are gonna get it no matter what. Do you have an alarm on the truck

You're right.

I have a factory alarm that has the blinky lights n such....but its only going to sound if a door is opened....and that doesn't include the gas door. I personally dont believe in aftermarket car alarm systems. They just make noise and no one even pays attention to them because 99% of the time its a false alarm. There is a SUV in my complex that is usually parked right in front of their apartment window which is in the next building over. It goes off all night long...I can hear it, but they just sleep through it.

Also, a locking gas cap doesn't stop the guy from moving onto the next car.


This morning, the gas levels were the same and the position of the cap was the same.

People dont pay attention to aftermarket alarms , A true statement.  But it was just a thought
Nothing worse that having you'r neighbors car alarm going off , and you'r the only one that hears it

I believe that aftermarket car alarms do thier job when properly installed. I lived in a shady neighborhood many years ago and all of my neighbors had their vehicles broken into and mine never was broken into. The neighbors had "average" cars w/o alrams and mine was an immaculate '56 Bel Air with a big stereo system (all visible) and an alram with a blinking LED. My car never got touched in the 8 years that I lived there and it was definately the nicest car in the neighborhood and also one of the most stealable cars in the neighborhood.

When the alram goes off it is indeed only good if the owner of the vehicle can hear the alarm.

Shock sensors, proximity sensors, and additional hood/fuel door/tool box/etc. triggers can all be added to factory alrams. I personally wouldn't add to a factory alarm as it will always look factory and the thief will only figure out the alarm isn't factory until after he has broken into/vandalized the vehicle.

I know several professional theif's (all "retired"/too many strikes) and they all have told me that they would prefer to steal a car that does not have an alram verses a car that has an alarm. However, they also have said that an alarm wouldn't stop them if the "prize" in the end would be "worth it".

I have done several theft replacement jobs where the thief stole the aftermarket alarm.

LMFAO

Hey Brad...Plesh tells me he's been buyin' gas for cheap off of Rod..

That's how I have been "making up the difference" since I got this stupid cast thingy, now what am I going to do since you just threw me under the bus?   

actually now that i read back on this post the factory alarm doesnt do jack shit...my gm got broken into and it went off and they just shut it off upgrade to the alarm that sends a signal to your keyring 300 bucks is cheap insurance i wish i would of had one the keyring vibrates and makes noise up to a mile away

all that gas just sitting chances are the gas is bad but you can smell it and know for a fact, if it turns out that the gas is still good you can add sta-bil and it will give a longer shelf life...also the higher the octne the higher the shelf life...and the less amount of getting in there also adds a shelf life, but that's my 02 on that
