Sorry that happend to you man, but remember things could always be WORSE!!

You could have had a spotter at the top of the hill that wasn't paying attention so the hole happend anyway AND he could have been smoking at the time!

Damn I guess it it time to add the gas tank skid to my list.

I would have liked to see what the computer calculated you fuel mileage for that tank

Keep some of this in your rig next time. Or any putty that is resistant to hydrocarbons. We use stuff similar to this in the fire service and it works great.

Great idea. I had to use duct tape and a grease rag. Obviously this was just enough to get me back to the house. Thanks for the advice!!!!!

Why don't you install batteries and go electric! NOT!

That sucks! Is there a larger tank that you could install? Or would that be a custom job?
