I'm usually pumping 250 gallons at a time. 
Always with two nozzels going. The sucky part is the locks have been removed so you gotta hold em the entire time. 
The worst part is paying $1200 to fill it up.

Also do all of the pumps around you kick off at $50 or $75 when you try to pay at the pump? What a pain in the AZZ.

What use is "pay at the pump" when you have to go inside to get enough fuel. I replaced the stock tank on my Super Duty with a 40 gallon tank so $75 doesn't do crap.

Always WAY over an hour. My tank is only 140 gallons, but the fastest I can set the nozzle is on the lowest setting, otherwise, it sprays back. It's like this from start to finish.
