    Michigan M923/925 Owners Question

    Considering a M923A2 or M925A2 but concerned that I will have to get a CDL to drive in Michigan. What has been your experience with the SOS? I read that having a vehicle with air brakes automatically means a CDL. I would not be using it for commercial purposes, just parade duty.

    White Stuff in my Fuel Tank

    Took cap off today to check fuel level and found this white buildup. What do you think it is? A virus? How do I get rid of it? Would a small amount of bleech be ok? I plan to fill tank to the fill line for inside winter storage and don't want the growth to continue. Thanks for the help.
