This allows you to over fill the tank a lot faster than if it was not cut. (Diesel fuel foams really bad when being pumped, so the foam would take for ever to settle out of the filler neck).

But then again, I also have a 100 gallon tank in the bed of the truck tied into the main tank, giving me a total range of 2000 miles on one tank. Sould I start a thread bragging that I can go 2000 miles on a single tank of fuel?

The look on some people's face when I pump 130 gallons of diesel at $3 a gallon is priceless. But being able to drive for 2000 miles right after a hurricane and no fuel is available is even more priceless.
I'll have to try that on my diesel suburban (used for hauling kids, boat or camper). It has a 40 gal tank but takes forever to fill that last gallon.

Being able to drive right after a hurricane & no fuel available...been there and was very glad the burb has a large range.
