RE: Dumb mistake
I would never knowingly put contaminated fuel into a truck with a $10,000 engine. If water makes it to the injector pump and it eventually grenades you will be looking at a huge repair bill.
Better check the price for those diesel engines. Had a new crate 6.7L engine put in the truck in October 2014. Back then the engine was almost $16,000 and the installation at the Ford dealer was $23,800. Fellow here in the park had his 2015, 6.7L Ford take a dump. A remanufactured engine installed is $15,000.
No way would I take a chance on that contaminated fuel unless it was run through a proper oil/water separator.

Your are correct. I believe I was thinking of the premium paid for a 6.7 engine over the standard gasser engine.

RE: Dumb mistake
A few raindrops will settle out and be separated in your water filter. At worst case you will get a 'Water in fuel ' check light.
If you do, stop as soon as it is safe, , open the drain on the bottom of the filter and let it drain until the droplets 'sheet off' no longer 'beading off ' as droplets. A few pumps on the primer pump will help.
Use of a diesel fuel conditioner like Howes, Sea Foam or Diesel Service will dissipate water , for dissipation, not ridding the water.
Even treated dissipated water is harmful to common rail HPS diesel pumps.
Avoid the issue, deal with it, do not try to 'treat'' it away.
Seems like a lot to go through for $20.00
I quoted wrong post.Message removed......

RE: Texas Boys! Last Call To Winterize!!!!!!!
Wonder if there's a run on F150 hybrids?
It would be a lot cheaper to buy a generator that puts out a lot more power.

RE: Aluminum Boat above cab and hood
I have one I use to haul a 16' canoe. It works very well, but putting your boat up there would be more than my tired old body would want to attempt. I'll probably quit hauling the canoe before too long as age is catching up with me. There is a company that makes a roof mounting system that mechanically pulls your boat up without all the strain of the goal post system. A google search should find it.

RE: For those with no bathroom access during travel mode.
That would be a deal breaker for me.

RE: genny conundrum
Go to YouTube type in
Custom 1 man generator mount
Fellow river came up with just what you looking for.
Outstanding idea!
I would want to somehow cover the bottom cutout in case of road spray.

RE: Fresh water tank
Insects like to crawl up lines and build nests that cause blockages. Mud daubers are especially bad about it around here.

RE: Generators for 5er
Electric and remote start. They also have a dual fuel for $1100.
I cannot imagine trying to run two 4500 Watt generators on Propane unless connected to a bulk tank too big to be hauling around in a pickup and 5er. They would blow through a 20 pound bottle in no time.

RE: Macerator pump questions
My experience with the macerator is the same when it comes to needing to flush the black tank several times to get everything out. It just doesn't flows fast enough to carry all the solids with it.

RE: belly liner repair
The silver metal tape used by HVAC service people. It sticks and is not affected by heat or cold. Not duct tape!
