    My truck has two fuel tanks and the left side one doesn’t work and i believe it has no gas in it. Could i swap tanks? Are they symmetrical or do they only fit on one side?

    Will do, thanks for the lead. Also, the transmission doesnt shift automatically, I have to start in low gear then shift up to second at just the right moment and same with third. I looked underneath and found a small bell shaped device at the back of the transmission, it seems like a vacuum...

    I filled it up with mobil 1 gas premium then put a few gallons of regular. Before that it seemed to be running just ok. What gas stations have the lowest ethanol?
