You do know that all gas in any given area is pushed through the same pipeline to the same truck terminal, then stored in huge tanks till the delivery semi loads up and dumps it in the outlet tanks? The tank truck driver does have a (usually 1 quart) can of additives that he dumps in 8,100 gallon tank to make it "DIFFERENT" from the next truckload that's pulled out of the terminal tanks? that is, unless it's cold, or raining, or he's tired, or pilled up, etc and throws the quart of additive in the trash instead of climbing up on top of that ol tanker to add part of it to each compartment?
What did you do to your jeep today?

Yes you never know what lurks in the station's tanks, and when the pumps filters were last changed.
Add to that it has been raining heavy here for weeks in a row, so it does not surprise me water's in the fuel! Time to build the Ark ha ha..
In most regions in the USA I am sure you have shared pipelines.
Here we have bulk oil pipeline from Alberta (Canada's Oil Rich Land & tar sands) to our local Gas refineries here in BC.
Trucks pull up & deliver from Chevron, Petro-Canada, Husky, & Esso and a lot of our fuels is exported into ship tankers/trains across Canada & also sold to the USA etc.

First sentence says it. And for all that "we add a special additive that is better "......is mostly marketing bs because they gotta tell you that their product is better than the other guy's crap.........
Anyway, what I did with my Jeep today (yesterday actually) was open the sunroof as it was 54 degrees out......holy crap, global warming just set in and no more 15 below bullcrap and all the snow is melting and the roads are turning white with road salt and my black jeep is white again....next stop is the car wash. "The Pig" is sleeping in the driveway so I gotta go and wake it up....

Oh wow aren't you Mr. Fancypants...hey everyone look at Dave, he has a Jeep he can park in the driveway without it leaking and ruining the driveway :gr_grin::happy175:
Used my Liberty to run for parts for my nephews 2011. He was headed to his company's holiday party and it threw the serpentine belt because one of the pulleys on the tensioner seized up. After that replacement I am glad I have a KJ as there is a lot more remove to replace that thing

Drive it down to the local dealer to check out a JL they have. I like them, but I don't need a $50k Sahara 4-door.
Then I washed the KJ, Stopped at Farm + Fleet for oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs.

Drove my white and brown and black Liberty to the LaserWash. Rode home in a green one.

Drove her down to O'WhyMeez and picked up brake pads for swap on girlfriend's Elantra 'cause "something feels funny with the brake pedal." Drove over, checked all corners and changed rears, and then returned what were not needed. On the way home, passed Fait through the wash 'n vac to knock off the white road grime.

Looks great, just looks like a black version of mine with the Backbone.
I have to say... holy bejesus did the power steering change make a difference to driving the KJ!
It’s much more solid feeling and doesn’t wander all over the highway any more. Before replacing it driving took a lot of concentration to stay between the lines. It just shows you what you get used to after a while.

It was the pump and fluid.
The pump was leaking so I had my garage replace it (working outdoors is impossible here).
I can only think that the old one was letting fluid past which created a kind of feedback loop and made driving straight difficult.

since i recently installed a 42" light bar on the roof, i moved these small floods to the rear of my cargo basket...need to splice on some extensions to my wiring harness and figure out how to run the wires before i can hook them up though!

I wire-tied the wires to the inside bottom edge of the roof basket and fed them through the channel in front along with the front set.
with the old pump and fluid did you notice any change when in a corner? like would it change lines? I still need to hunt down a wandering tendency mine has on the highway. I put in all new inner and outer tie rods, all the bushings, etc when I installed the lift, and the alignment is on. I haven't determined if it's not just bouncing around inside the road ruts cut in the travel lanes or not.
