Pay for the diesel and I'll give you a hand.

I plan on taking my time and if get's rough I pull in and call for the trailer.

1) fill tank before leaving
2) run till about empty
3) pull in some where and fill tank again
4) repeat steps 2 and 3 until trip is completed.

I ran in a Top Gun today that had 675 Chiefs. The flow meters were saying 50 each at 4000rpm.
I think that resembles a garden hose...

Merc used to use hp/12 = gals/hr. Need to know what hp you are developing at a particular rpm to use this. If you run it against your dyno numbers under load I think it looks fairly close.

For the love of the sport!
Not really just sounded like fun and I told my buddy's over a few beers that I was going to do it. Now if I don't I will get a lot of SH*t.
It's not at speed run, just going to take a few days off and clear my head recharge the battery's. If it gets too cold or too rough I will pull out.
Work has been tough as you know over the last 18 Mo and I don't have enough time to take a real vacation.
I am sure most or all of the ice will be gone by the 3rd week in April.
