Certain days they have free shipping on all orders over $150, then your coupon works as free shipping.

You also might try

JCWhitney Coupon Codes | JCWhitney Promotional Offers | JCWhitney Coupons

sometimes their expired coupons still work but not always correctly and JC Whitney likes to reuse the same coupon codes over and over again.

There was a 20% w/ free ship some time ago. Probably doesn't work, also many First Time Buyers can get free shipping, might be a good time to place a phone order and ask for free ship and 20% off.

Or just be patient and wait, they always have some type of promotion.

Cheers
Ryan

I'm open to suggestions if I have overlooked an accurate and inexpensive and elegant solution to measuring my fill ups.

Finest regards,

Troy, couldn't you measure the WEIGHT of fuel added?

First, measure the weight of a known volume of biodiesel to get density. Then, weigh the vessel used to add the fuel before and after fueling. This is actually MORE accurate (has the potential to be) because volume of a given amount of fuel will change slightly with temperature, but the weight stays steady.

Hmmm, measure the mass.

Dear MeanJoe,

I never thought about measuring the mass. I have a pretty decent scale, so I could weigh the fuel jugs before and after filling.

Have to try that.

Thanks, you guys are smart.
