| Did ou know due to the recent climb in gas prices, some gast stations have been watering down their fuel to make it stretch a bit further.... I wonder if he is a victum of that? If not, fuel filter would be where I would go first... How many miles does the truck have and when was the last service?

| When the gas crisis hit in the 80's, gas stations did the same thinig with watering down the fuel..... I would not put it past them to do it again. With the deciet and dishonesty that is so prevelant nowadays, why would they not? Profit is profit.... who cars about the product? If they cared about us, things would change..... yet they don't.... perhaps I am being cynical.... but it works for me! LOL....
