How much dirt is in a hole 3 feet long x 4 feet wide x 6 feet deep?

Used to hit the reset on my mile gauge and drive till it hit 50

Those look like dyno numbers...I would shave another 20% off in real world conditions..the trouble with dyno testing is its done on level ground under ideal environmental conditions with no stop /starts for traffic or road signs.

in super hot weather or deep snow and throw in some hills and traffic nobody can hit those numbers.

you should have posted this in the garage breh

I wouldn't try this shyt... the worse thing is you driving on the expressway and your shyt light up and you're halfway home...

My fuel gage hasn't worked in months. I'm too cheep to fix it. I just fill up every other week. It gets me by because I don't drive my personal vehicle to work.

If it did work and that light came on I'd stop at the next station available instead of pushing it.

Tried this a couple weeks back on the highway, it's really stressful cause your looking at your gauge every couple of minutes

Yup...All the dirt and rust at the bottom of the tank all ends up being sucked into the pump filter screen and clogs it .........and doing this repeatedly makes the fuel pump overheat because the gasoline actually cools the pump as well so it will fail prematurely

All I know is you can go further on a hot day than on a freezing day in the peak of a Canadian winter...
