As long as you guys are talking fuel I have a question. I am a Newbie picking up my “new” 75 Tuesday afternoon in Detroit. I will be traveling to Minnesota to visit my mother for a few hours and on to Colorado. The tanks are full. What grade of fuel should I be using? It looks like it will be beyond chilly for this trip so I am planning on some short stays in truck stops so the engine does not get awful cold before restarting. Any suggestions are appreciated. If all goes well we plan to head to AZ the end of December and give it a through going over. For now I am just wanting to get back to Colorado unscathed. Probably replug and rewire if necessary in CO.
Happy Trails,
Roger

). I wouldn’t worry about having any water in the fuel as they probably have been getting ethanol / gasoline fuel.
