Hopefully it stays FREE and someone doesn't swoop in to try and capitalize.

Still on the road. Got surprised with diesel smell that turned out to be a blown pressure gauge on the fuel pump. Did not think that I could smell diesel in the front of a RE bus and expected the truck in front of me to have a diesel leak. Fortunately the little on needed a pee stop. So decide to check it out. Must have lost 5 to 10 gallon or so. Rear of bus is very oily on the outside and my 87 faded Cherokee is nice and shiny again. Also got a free ant rust under body coating. Lucky that I had a bolt with the same diameter and pitch as 1/8" not. Or let's just say that enough Teflon tape did the job.
In the lunch break after that adventure I finished to last bits of our water tank. So all is good.
We are overnighting at intersection of I8 and 85 in Arizona.
