Most trucks have pusher pumps or lift pumps though, the MB IPs are just a vacuum type pump. At idle it'll flow decently but by no means anything that'll stop you from fueling up while leaving the vehicle running. Fuel tanks are 21gallons, or at least in the W123s they are. The tank is 17" tall, 44" wide, and I'd guess 7" deep. I've never checked for flowrate.

I plan to leave it run for three weeks.

"Be prepared", is the only way to make a trip to Hudson Bay, Canada.

Whunter, are you by any chance going up to Churchill to watch the polar bears? Good article on them in February's National Geographic.

Hello lietuviai
We are going to visit the Hudson Bay blanket factory.
The best wool blanket in the world.
There are other things we want to see on the way.
Green Mountain pottery is another.
We will drive because I do not like to fly.
Have a great day.

Whunter, I hate flying as well. I will drive rather than fly if time permits. I haven't had to fly for about four years now and it wasn't much of a hassle to get on a plane then like it is now. There are too many reasons nowadays to keep me off of a plane.

Never a dull moment at Berry Hill Farm.

There's some good wool blankets and pottery up there I guess.

Hello R Leo
Why?
The best wool blanket in the world.
History benind it and I am interested in stitching/manufacture.
As to the timing, work slows during winter, I loose the least income by going then.
Prices are better there during winter also.
The following links may help you to understand.

I always thought that Pendleton Mills here in the NW made the best wool products. Could I be wrong? Won't be the first time.

Hello lietuviai
Hudson Bay blanket.
The best wool blanket in the world.
Not bashing; just my personal opinion FWIW.
