I used a deep socket and a assortment of extensions as well. Good story. Made me

Now how could you have made that mistake on the passenger side anyway?

He likes to mess with us. A lot. LOL.

I guess Timothy was pretty happy he didn't have to pump the entire tank out again, Dad!

I can't wait to get back home! RRE will be fun!

Hey, Benjamin... you know its a sad day when your son who's "across the pond" provides a better response in FTE as opposed to having him simply reply to your email message sent a day before!!

Anyway, we were BOTH glad to not have to go through that with a "nearly full" 44 gallon tank.

It'll be good to have you back home, son.

BTW... I just found your reply in my inbox. Thanks... but you forgot to include the other message you referenced.

I am just suffering from not seeing any trucks over here. These people are sick! I have seen a single '08 Powerstroke, and that's it. The Brits don't know what they are missing.

I'm glad you got that stuff finished with the Ex.

Oh, and you now have the entire message I was supposed to send you earlier.

Thanks, son. I got it.

On the Ex... still have more to do... oil bypass system, CCK, in-tanks, CCV reroute, GPR LED, backup camera, serp belt, brake system flush, oil change, fuel filter change, engine bay cleanup, and perhaps a coolant system flush.
