Good points to consider and a possibly new idea

Thanks for some good points to consider.

I'm not good yet at the whole quote and comment thing yet so I'll just make the comments then put the possibly new idea at the end.

- I hadn't thought about the expansion space issue, oops....but, my new idea may take care of this issue.
- I'll have to locate and inspect the charcoal canister for any degradation.
- No check engine light related to this so far, fingers crossed.
- "consistency is key to getting an accurate number" Thats what I've been shooting for and hopefully everybody else is also.
- I put about 60 to 70 miles a day on truck so I fill up at least once a week.

Now for my possibly new idea:

I got to thinking about the whole expansion area thing. What if I change my fill up location to before I make my commute(still fill to flapper for extreme accuracy)??? This way the commute will use up the "packed" in gas and the expansion area is there for the daily sun heatup.

Just thinking outloud on this, but theoretically seems reasonable this late at night
