For those who are ignorant about automotive use of plastics. Plastic is lighter weight than the old school materials. Promoting better fuel efficiency, smaller engines, possible for more complex shapes. Plastic is more resistant to parking lot dings and minor fender bangs. Plastic is made to...

Nothing. Absolutely Nothing. The truck slept in the garage today. I did put a couple miles on a single wheel wheelbarrow to move dirt around the property.

Extreme Left Policy.

Just filled this morning. E15 is $0.0115/cubic inch. :p

yawn..........................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah.....I really feel for them. Most are making 6 digit salaries (without the decimal points) and they received a wage increase of 62%. The other thing is most of these workers are driving a machine to unload container ships. Not much effort to pull/push a lever and turn a steering...

Just hunker down for more inflation and shortages. Ironic thing is a big portion of the workers could be replaced by automated equipment.

Headlight assemblies are commonly made from an extremely high strength plastic frequently known as Lexan (polycarbonate). This material is used in canopies of fighter jets and often is used in bullet proof applications and safety glasses. Frankly, there really isn't a need for an additional...

Many times the answer you want is not the answer you get. Life can be troublesome.

What do these protect the headlight from???

Well, unless Marlon returns to answer the posed questions........ Its anybody's guess. All guesses will be accurate.

A couple of pieces of information would help everyone to understand and offer answers. What year, model, trim of your truck? What is your end goal? What issue are you trying to resolve?

Absolutely correct. It isn't the ethanol rusting the tank. Its the WATER. Yes, ethanol is hygroscopic. Has anyone determined how much water ethanol will absorb? Consider. Generally, fuel blend is about 10%, so in a 20 gallon fill roughly 2 gallons of ethanol will be in the tank. What...

Have you looked at the wire integrity at the wheel encoder sensor????

Lets be clear. The ethanol is not causing the rust of a steel tank. The water that has gotten into the tank is causing the rust. Water can enter a tank by many paths. Humidity, leaking fuel cap, missing fuel cap, failing evap system..... are some of the common routes.

Plastic fuel tanks came about for many reasons. The most common reason is cost. It is less cost to blow mold a plastic tank than it is to stamp, form, weld and flush a steel tank. Also plastic is more resistant to punctures in the event of an accident. Ethanol fuel will not rust a steel...

Your brother should be happy that his wife replaced her batteries and didn't ask for more D cells.

Consider the reference is to CAPACITY. The material of the container is not important. I can hold 35 gallons in a plastic, glass, steel, aluminum, wood or any material. I think half barrels of beer are in Aluminum kegs.

Not sure if they do that anymore. True, Ken-L-Ration had herds of horses to support their products. Modern dog (pet) food is made from stuff not so tasty. 4D meat. Left over grains from brewers. Rice hulls. Meat paste from rendering plants. These are just some of the tasty ingredients...

If my tank holds 20 gallons, why would I fill after using 15 gallons? Frankly, I fill at about 360 miles on the Trip A odo, my fuel gauge shows 1/8 tank when the tank has 0 gallons. Left me stranded. So I don't trust the fuel gauge. Generally when I fill, the truck will take 16-18 gallons.
