Georgia Sawing project 2018

I try to be aware that I don't put diesel in my gas tank. Something I might do when I get hot-stupid. And I don't have to get very hot for that to kick in.

There were people taking lots of pictures but some pics will not be posted for a couple weeks due to their traveling plans so stay tuned. 😊

Like the others said, add Howes or another lubricant, even two cycle oil, and fill with diesel, you will be fine. I have personally done it and have a buddy in Kansas that does it to cut his winter fuel, he farms 5,000 acres so he runs a lot of fuel.

New York - Love it!!!

Kinda looks like Phish will be swimming home.

There are some really bad storms coming through the south right now.
Hope those guys get home safely.

We're driving in rain now - heading Northwest to Atlanta.
Canada is a long way off.
If it turns to snow, I'll be okay - I'm used to that.
If it turns to tornados, well . . we're not used to that.
We'll find a place to hunker down and wait it out.

Wow what a great weekend. Many thanks to all that pitched in to make it what it is. This project is only as great as those that attend it. THANK YOU.

Poston when it comes to your truck I don't know what size your fuel tank is but if memory serves it isn't but about 12-14 gallons. I would recommend removing as much of the gas as you can. Blending fuel is one thing but trying to run mostly gas with just some oil or AT fluid in it would be risky.

Great event, first time attending. Jake was a great host, The education of a gathering like this is priceless. I added a lot to my tool box over the weekend,

I have a lot of footage captured and should have a good compilation video finished in a few days.

David ,i'm with Jake on this one i would drain it to be safe.

I'm gonna start a new thread in General to keep this THE GEORGIA PROJECT thread.
Please add your remarks there about GAS IN DIESEL.

Thanks, Goat

If it has an electric fuel pump you can just unhook the line and turn on the key and pump it out.

I've got some pics on my phone from this weekend. I'll upload them tomorrow if I have time.

I had a great time at the sawing project.I was debating on whether to go or not,but boy am I glad that I went.I got to meet a bunch of members and Jake and his wife made me feel right at home.Now when when i see some of your posts I can put a face with it and that is so much better. I got to learn some new sawing techniques and have a great time while doing it. Jake thank you very much!! PS The food was great also.

Mr Poston you know I'm just playing. I drove through some rough weather on the way back to AL, but took my time and made it back I time to visit my next saw job. It sure was a delight seeing you again brother. Take care of that ~~hoof~~ ankle.
