Shoot! this make great sense, except when I did a test ride assuming this is
true, I got 4 miles after switching on the other side. Happened again,
unplanned this time and got about 2 miles. rolled to a gas pump too.
I thought there shouild be ahalf gal or so too but, mine doesnt work that
way. I think both mine are reserves since there is no collar or tube around
the filter on either side.
Need to bung one togetehr but we never got too cold here this year and I been
riding instead of fixing.
