Letter Re: An Aftermarket "En Route" External Fuel Tank Filling Apparatus
Jim:
Have you seen this
"Freedom Fill" apparatus? It is for trucks that have extra
fuel tanks in their bed and it feeds fuel directly to their main tanks. No
need
to stop
for a refueling
at an unsafe location.
What do you think? - David K.
JWR Replies: Other that its general high level of complexity with multiple
points of failure--most notably that it uses EMP-vulnerable microprocessor--it
looks captivating.
Call me a dinosaur, but I prefer the traditional auxiliary fuel tank plumbing methods. OBTW, just think
how long the O.J. Simpson "slow speed pursuit" could have gone
on if the White Bronco had been equipped with one of these?
