Ran from this thunder storm for 150 miles. It never caught me 😛. It was much worse than the picture shows.

What crazy luck! Never seen a tank strap fail! Could have been worse I guess.

Lou, l’m glad when it broke, the tank wasn’t full. When I stopped to filled up, I saw fuel leaking, I looked under the truck to see where it was coming from and saw the tank ( now full ) hanging down in back.

Ouch! This little Super 8 is freaking $180 a night! Gas is cheap though. $3.20 a gallon and I'm getting good mpg. Heading to Boise tomorrow. Farr around there for a while. Never been in this part of Idaho.
