You can hit him up here at work. Grant @ 704-523-2022
He is a pretty good guy, just take into account he is from New Jersey AND he is a frickin' Pollock! :D
 
This thing is badass.

ya I filled up before I left with 179 gallons :)

so it will be a while before I fill again
 
So... how many times do you have to swipe your card in order to buy 179 gallons? :lol:

I stopped at a Crown yesterday. It cut me off at $75.

Very nice seat, btw.
 
once.. I went to a Big Rig station and pulled up to the big pumps :)

I sort of got lucky as there was already 100 gallons in the bus, so I only added 79 :)
and yes we tested the fuel to make sure it was still good and it was.. also found out there is atleast 50 more gallons in another tank just for generator :)
 
I'd be dropping some Algae X in those tanks. To be on the safe side.
 
At an national average of 3.89/gal ..... the $700.00 it would take to fill it up would hurt my feelings!
Cool bus ..... I've always wanted something like that ..... even a well done school bus.

ya but think about how long it will last..

no different then filling up your dodge 1 ton a few times and going wheeling.. I can now just fill up once and go wheeling a bunch of times :)
 
I couldn't agree more Ken, mine holds 150 gallons and I wish it held 50 more! We bought fuel two months ago 30cents cheaper than NC. Would have been nice to take on a little more! You're gonna burn it, at least you can pick and choose the best place. I took on 130 gallons in Oklahoma at 30cents = $39.00 saved! Dam right I like big fuel tanks. My Kenworth held 450 gallons!
