just a jab at "Hella"

basically S.F.'s equivalent of "y'all"

When I went to college in San Jose i resisted it for a good 6 mos... at first it was quantitative like you used it. Then it just started inserting itself into every other word lol.

Or the Minnesota "dontchanoo" lmao

Kind of like the SoCal "totally"... actually, yeah bro, it's totally the same.

The old joke was
"How many bay area people does it take to change a light bulb?"

"Hella"

Any truth to the rumor that getting gas right after the station tanks are filled is not a good idea, due to all the sediment that gets stirred up?

TRVTH.

Every station around me has gas and no lines.

Just drove by San Antonio Costco, had people on the Access road and side streets directing traffic through a coned off lane. Lines out the parking lot and down the block on 2 sides. A fuel truck there I am guessing putting it back in as fast as they can. Was crazy.

I've remained completely unaffected by these shenanigans.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Filters should catch most of it. I believe the pumps have filters.

Add in the fact that most of the stations have been emptied a few times already I wouldn't worry about it.

^^This^^ Filters inside the dispenser catch all the crap.

I waited until this morning to fill up. No line. No problem.

Yea, sure. But how often do they get changed? I've only once in my life seen a guy pulling maintenance on the pumps at Copperas Cove HEB. I've never seen any other station have maintenance done on the pumps.

I found a suggested maintenance schedule........but I don't have an answer to your question. I've rarely seen anyone doing PM's on dispensers.

1.2.3 Check product dispensing
flow rate at maximum (handheld) dispensing
position. Verify flow rate is between 6.0 gpm and 10.0 gpm.

1.2.3.1 Replace dispenser filters when flow rate is below 6.5 gpm
and check flow rate again. If the flow rate does not increase
after filter change, remove the fueling point from service.

No issues here in Salado other than the Cefco premium being out which I needed for my bike. Went to Brookshire Brothers and got premium and a fuel truck was at Cefco on the way back. The stupidity of people is ridiculous.

That last line is one of the great truths of our times.

I really don't understand your concern. If the filter gets full then the gas stops pumping. It isn't like the fuel can bypass the filter if it is full of crap.

If it is pumping fuel you are good. If it isn't pumping fuel does it really matter why?

Had a truck driver come buy hay from me today. Said he just came back from Houston. No lines at the gas pumps down there and he paid $2.18 for diesel at Bucees on 290. It was $2.29 here before the media frenzy started.

I'm in Houston and I have seen lines a couple days ago, but I haven't had to wait once. Drove up filled up no wait. Gas is going for 2.50 a gal now.

Same here. Paid $2.53/gal.

Found the solution, get gas at 4:30am! No lines whatsoever! Of course, it helped being jet-lagged (just got back from the Middle East) and my son borrowing my car to go to work yesterday. Since I was up, I decided to fill his car up so he could drive it instead today.

$2.55/gal for regular is a rip-off, but what are you going to do? Honestly, I wish I could have brought some gas back with me from my trip, it was almost half that where I was!

Should have filled up a wading pool and brought it with you on the plane.
