    • I strongly agree. It would be great if they installed it in the fuel tank and used a baffle or something similar to separate the fluid. You’d lose a little fuel capacity but if you’re running 150 a side, it wouldn’t make that much of an impact. It’d be great to see it “clean” again on a big truck.

  • Your Peterbuild still have a long way to go to meet my standards.
    Wipers
    Driveline vibration.
    Seats
    Interior lights
    Squeaks in cab
    Poor wiring
    Prehistoric instrumentation
    mirrors that shake
    Before you blow your horns in Canada, Back to the drawing board.
