FUEL
I'm told that "Citco" is owned by Hugo Chavez and have since quit using Citco gas as well as most other cheaper gas and never have used their diesel fuel.
Now the first thing I look for on the pump is weather it says "Methanol" if it does I just move on.
I also noticed and after reading that my Ferd(s) were missing and running poor, remembering that methanol absorbs water, I put dry gas in and it cleared up almost immediately thus running up the cost P/gal well above Shell or most premium gas brands. I have since switched exclusively to "no methanol" gas and have not had a miss and have got a little better MPG to boot, as for my diesel (Ferd tractor) or as I refer to it as my diesel powered wheel borrow, I only use Shell or BP.
A side note;
Even my riding mower (not a Ford) was missing horribly, upon draining the fuel I got about two table spoons of water out of 5 gal. of gas over the summer B-4 I caught on, slow learner i was, but that was the eye opener to my others.
Just my 2$ worth

So stop using the USD....
Unless its a Corporate store, by boycotting a gas station, your hurting somebody just like you or me by not buying their product.
If it is a corporate store, and is owned by somebody like Hugo, then boycot it.
you can check these things online.
The only thing the name symbolizes is the fuel additives put into the gas that all comes from the same pumping station.
They mix it right there in the tanker and send it on its way.
I hated that BP boycot crap. They hurt a lot of every day folks trying to feed their family.

Oh, Water in fuel also has a lot to do with how you "store" and take care of your own equipment and canisters when you are using them.
The tank itself will create condensation and that will drip into the fuel, or mix if you sloshed around the tank.
All depends on the weather and how you store your stuff.
It's more possible in diesel than in Gas though.
But thats why there is a water drain off on our diesels. As well as a water in fuel sensor (which i don't have)

Does your hubby and son work good together ?
I worked with my father for over 10 years, and at time's, it wasn't easy.
But know I understand why he did what he did.
The older I get, the smart he gets. and man do I miss him.

Well they have their Time's .... they had to figure out when its dad / Son and when its Boss/ pee-on lol.
I think its GOOD for both of them, they are * bonding* something they needed .
But no matter what my Hubby is a perfectionist, so he is expecting more from our Kid then the other guys out there.
Good experience for both .
Andrew was thinking of Climbing Towers then he would be on a different Crew ...but then changed his Mind.
