I have purchased an auxiliary fuel tank for the Dodge Ram. It is a bed tank that feeds the OEM fuel tank. I have modified the installation to include a electric solenoid valve to turn the fuel feed on and off. I wanted the fuel to flow into the OEM tank while the truck was not running to simulate a normal fuel fill-up. I also want it to work off the ignition automatically. This way the truck computer will not become confused when the OEM tank should have a declining volume and does not. When the truck operations computer thinks things aren't right it resets itself and looses all the accumulated mileage data. With this tank installed I'll have a useable fuel capacity of about 80 gallons or a conservative 1000 miles towing the 5th wheel trailer. I speak of this now as it is my ongoing project for the next week or so.
I also have the trailer to de-winterize now also. The trailer also need a bath and complete inspection for age/winter damage. That usually is a two day project.
We are very concerned about our JRT Lucy. She is declining rapidly. She is 13 years old and has been on prednisone for several years for a auto-immune disease. Prednisone is a steroid that can have devastating effects on the user with extended use. It is usually chosen as the least of the evils involved which is the case here. Lucy may not make our trip this summer. Lucy chose me as her special human friend a long time ago and I'll miss her.
