These engines shouldn't do that. Keep after em and have a seat by bones to wait fro the next re-flash. :(

Out of the EPA's reach... https://optimalwelding.com/

Yep, just like that and I don't plan to ever see it again. I've always been leery of running any fuel tank below a quarter, regardless of the specs or how accurate the indicating system is. Don't matter if it's 31 gals or 50 gals. I will never trip plan to use up all the avail fuel in a tank...

Magic towing dust... ;)

That tire and wheel are waaaaay too clean! ;)

Nope. Done this exercise with the HVAC on and off. No diff. The issue at this point appears to be related to the length of time the in tank fuel pump has been operating. If I let it run for 5-10 seconds before cranking, engine starts fine. If I hit the start button shortly after stepping of the...
