I think you can get away without using ULSD but I don't think the system likes it. I also don't think my sprinter likes having 7.5 liters to much oil put in the motor but that's what you get when you have a highly trained Mercedes technician changes your oil. True story. El Cajon Mercedes if your wondering. Sorry still a little sore about that one.
Thanks for the offer on the fuel cans. I may take you up on a couple. I'm getting a couple new swing bumpers. One for a large box and the other for a spare tire. The box will have a rack on top to hold 3-4 cans. With 3 cans my safe range would be 600 miles. That should be close I think. I need to look at a map. |

I asked what year your van is because if it’s like pre 07-08 it’s fine. All they did with ULSD was lower the lubricity of the fuel which is a bad thing. 07+ trucks are more sensitive. But high sulfur fuel is actually better for a fuel system. |

Steve, I am doing this trip even if I have to do it ALONE. At 71 this June I do not have the luxury to wait until next year or the year after. Got to get it done THIS year, while I still have the mobility and strength to do it. You snooze, you loose. I plan on taking both the Scout 430 and the Hobie i11s. That should give me the best of both worlds. I can even sleep in the Scout if I let air out of the floor.
