New "Hybrid" Super Fuel
So check this out. I have 30 gallons of a new super hybrid fuel. I'm not sure of any other use for it besides weed killer, but here's how I came across it.
I'm on the way to help sleeping beauty move today and got a phone call from one of my employees. He's asking me how much fuel the wrecker holds. I told him about 30 gal, which sparked the question of, "how do you get 30 gal of fuel out of the tank?". My first thought was that he had managed to fill my wrecker up with gas, but I under estimated him. He actually managed to fill it up with 110 octane racing gas. ( @ $4.99 per gallon). I'll spare the details on how a $150.00 mistake like that could possibly happen, since the pump had Sunoco stickers all over it. The moral of the story is, I have 30 gallons of high dollar weed killer if anyone needs some.
I was pretty proud of myself for contraption I rigged up to drain the tank. I found an old external, electric fuel pump laying around the lot. Several feet of 5/16" fuel line, several feet of wire, and a lighter plug later, I had a pretty slick 12V plug-n-play "fuel extractor". The moral of that story is, if you ever plan to own your own business and have to have someone other than yourself to work there, stock up on all the Mc Gyver episodes you can find. You'll need all the knowledge you can get to handle their fuck ups.
