This so called "Lucky" date is all BS.

Filling up at scripps this morning, and didn't know the ball valve on the 130 transpost tank was wide open. Yup, 50-60 gallons poured right out into the van and yes it has carpet all the way from front to rear.

So, did anybody else get the DUMASS AWARD for the day?

That's why you need a pick-up truck.

Was gonna go that route before the van was offered to me. $1000 for a 1 ton 7 litre deisel and it will carry 380 gallons of water and not struggle up any hill. In all, I can fit 12-14 adults in it with comfort, and still have room for some cargo.
However, I do keep eyeing the newer turbo deisel trucks to replace it. I guess now is the time to look into Linex or Rhino Lining for most of the inside.

man, that almost happened to me once when I was making an evening run. Make sure to try and get as much of the salt from the car carpet cause salt will crystalize and eat through the metal parts of the car.

Pulled it and hosed it down also hosed out the inside of the van and shot WD40 all over.

Bummer bigair. I stayed home yesterday just to make sure that I would not have a lucky day like you had. So much for numerology huh? I don't believe in luck anyway. Sorry about the carpet. I bet that stinks to high heaven now.......whew.
