[DMCForum] Re: Hauling Gas (Jim S)



Gas station only had a kiosk for the cashier. Were overpriced gallons
of antifreeze on a stand in front we could have poured out and used,
but we decided to go with a Coke bottle instead. To be honest it was
my fire department buddy's idea (I didn't think it was going to work).
Seem to remember we had to pay for 1 gallon minimum even though we
used less (although we did spill a lot).

I remember rotary engines were gas hogs (burned a lot of oil too).
That's what killed them in the 70's.

Don't feel bad -- killed my big blocks too.
