mi gas mileage just got a whole lot better LOL
 

Well... after smelling a faint gas smell for a couple weeks... And it finally getting worse, I decided to take a look and see what was going on...

So, I pull the bed to realize, the pump was resting on the bottm of the bed (bed holding it down) and the lock ring had come undone :jest:

Everytime I filled it up past 1/2 and come to a redlight or take a turn, I'd smell gas. I figured it was the vent hose or something loose and it wasnt a huge deal... I was averaging between 8-9mpg and was PISSED... I couldnt find anything in the tune or any bad sensor to cause it... I scratched my head and continued to pour gallons and gallons of 93 to waste...

When I pulled it in the shop, and yanked the bed. I had about 1/8 tank of gas... I put the pump back down and turned the key back on, it jumped to about a 1/2 :bang: I was finally figuring out why I was getting about 200 miles to a tank average... The lightbulb came on :thinker:

I used to "fill up" and drive for 40 miles and the needle would move a lot off full... I just filled up on the way home about an hour ago, drove 40 miles, its still above full :eyes:

If you are getting TERRIBLE mileage and just cant seem to figure out why??? pull the bed and take a look ha ha ha... This should make the gas bill for my road trip coming up a little easier to handle now :nod: anyway... carry on...

:jest: :D

I felt like I should wear my helmet on the back of the shortbus when I saw that shit... I felt like a complete dumbass... :jest:

Thats cool you fixed it yet funny at the same time haha.

only bad thing is, now it is going to cost you more than $60 to fill up

that didnt trip a code?

nice..:nod:

why would it throw a code?

evap code probably....could set when the gas cap is left off so i would think it would trip when the pump is out of the tank....the tank needs to be sealed to hold a small vacume to help with the fumes as i understand it....
