[SEL] What kind of truck? Gas or Diesel

[John Hall]

You forgot about the states requiring permits/fees to run you car on this 
stuff. We actually have so FEW problems here in N.C. that we PAY state 
workers to go around busting backyard tinkerers for running vehicles on home 
made diesel. It seems the DOT really wants their fuel taxes. I better hush 
before I start ranting about being last in education but a not a dirt road 
left in the whole state!
