He had a 25 gallon gas tank in the back of the half ton truck. Every night my job was to fill that 25 gallon gas tank from a hand pumped 250 gallon gas storage tank. The 25 gallons would do him 8 or 9 hours.
But gas was only $.21 a CDN gallon then. In 1962 traded 300u for B414D and the most it ever used doing the same job was 3/4 of gallon an hour. JB
