ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Faulty Gas Meter or Leaky Gas Tank?

    today, my gas meter needle was nearly on "E" i put $20 (nearly a full tank) of gas in it and on the way to school the gas meter needle read a little over half tank. what could be the culprit and how can i check? sorry my info isnt very specific in terms of exact quantities.

    any thoughts?
    -thanks

        At over $3.00 a gallon $20.00 only gets about half full.
        Take that freek show to the park, maybe the squirrels will care.

          its about $2.85/gal in certain places here. i just remember putting $20 worth of gas w/ my gas meter reading fairly low, and the needle was almost on full. it could be just me though. lol

                pumping at close to $3.00 a gallon these days makes me sad, 20 bucks gets me a little over half a tank also.

                  Check the drain plug. Mine was loose when I bought it.
