slowmover, this tank was the first that I've kept average speed data on. It came out to an average of 29.0 mph. I agree with you that average mph will tell you a lot, however, there's still a lot it's not telling you. 1/2 20 mph, 1/2 70 mph is much, much different than all 45 mph (even though the average is the same). Also, I'll look into that tank vent mod.


Cd, yes I paid for the extra. I don't really have any concrete "proof" that the pump was off, so I probably won't report it or anything. I might mention it to the clerk, just as an FYI. I don't suspect it's anything intentional. About the only thing I'm going to do is not use that pump again.
