Should you travel with a full tank of Gas?
Let me know what you think about traveling with a full tank of gas. Does it course you Miles per gal. to go down or is the unit designed and the MPG that is listed for that unit allow for a full tank...

For Disaster Preparedness, they say always drive on the top half of your tank. That way in a disaster situation you will not find yourself short of fuel. And they are talking about your car or other regular commuter vehicle. Since our motorhome is our large Disaster Kit it is always left with fuel and water tanks full and waste tanks empty.
To us that doesn't mean never get below half a tank in the motorhome; it we are driving a long way in a day we we'll let it get down, but always fill up before stopping for the night. Keep in mind though that rigs the draw generator fuel from the main tank, the generator fuel pickup is usually 1/4 way up from the bottom of the tank so if you get down or below a quarter tank your generator won't run.
