Haven't had to fill it since!
We replaced the 26 gallon tank with a 46 gallon tank. Hopefully we can go 600 miles if we have to. Shelly says we get about 13 miles/gallon towing (a lot better being towed, but that's a different story. Probably would have been better to have not taken out the 26 gallon tank until we got to the place that put in the 46 gallon tank!)
Of course, when we do fill up we have to take out a mortgage on the house. Speaking of which, anyone wanna buy a 26 gallon gas tank?

Around here they shut off the pump at around $100. You'd never be able to fill it all the way up.

Old photo though. The odometer just turned over 208,000.
So I'm still puzzled about what it is reading, exactly, to figure out how much gasoline is consumed.

So one week before to leave on a one week trip planned months ago, I scrambled to find a deal on 4D JK. I did and it is a huge difference especially going from a 3.8 to a newer 3.6 that has considerable more HP, go figure. I also really need to add brakes to the trailer which will not be easy or cheap. Only regret of the build was not installing brakes. Just got back from the week long trip which was great other than the trailer coming off the hitch at 60mph because I forgot to install the hitch lock pin. Slight damage to the tongue box but consider that extremely lucky. 2D JK is online for sale which is a real disappointment. I spent a ton of time and money building it and loved driving it on and off road.
