hmm... i'll have to give it a try. i just don't feel like driving 100 miles there and back to get some gas...

 

Supposedly Shell's V-Power has little to no ethanol in it.

 

ok so i'm starting to think that someone has been stealing my gas (let the truck sit for a week and checked the gauge.) either that or i have a leak. in 5 days i lost three gallons of gas.
in case it isn't a thief, where should i start to look for leaks in my fuel system?

 

get under it with a match at night. You'll find it.
Are you sure the gauge isn't just lieing to you? Mine does that all the time, the lil heartless bastard

 

both comments made me laugh

 

yeah i'm positive. i thought it was playing tricks on me so i tested it. filled it up, let it sit for a week, filled it up again. drove a grand total of fifteen miles and put in almost three gallons of gas.

 

I kinda doubt anyone is stealing it. If im going to steal gas im not going to only take a gallon or two, im cutting a hole in the bottom of your tank and taking everything.

 

well that may be true, but i live in a dorm with police driving by every ~ 15 minutes so they probably wouldn't have time to take everything and maintain a low profile. siphoning gas was something that my dad suggested might be happening, and i was hoping that's the case and that i don't have a leak in my fuel system. those two explanations are the only thing i've got so far... i've invested in a locking fuel cap, so we'll see how it does on friday when i go to work.

 

Well, You can count atomic out of the equation.


I'd check around the filter and then around the injectors.

 

i'm thinking the fuel filter might be the case... i don't know if the guy i bought the truck from ever changed it... and i know i haven't.
