What the Hell Shell - 44.2 mfd. Fast driving, headwinds, broken zip-tie mod which I fixed at the end of this tank. Since I filled at Shell and not Valero, it seems my fuel filter is going to be clogged by the next tank.

I got Floetta back for the return trip to Flo-Rida. Topped off at Kroger, the diesel was really smelly which has me a little worried. The trip MPG will be the telling factor. Thankfully 13.7 gallons (the last fuel-up) was Ye Olde Shamrock which has good fuel.
