    Ghost in the Machine? BH77

    Fuel Capacity & Usage rate

    Hi all - Not enough hours yet, but have some questions that you all can hopefully set me straight on. My L2501 is listed as 10G capacity.

    I ended up stupidly running over an old chicken run and got three punctures from nails, one being a small slit or cut about 1/4" long in the front tire (R14 - 27x8.5x15).
