It got to the point where it would hardly move, but it did not stop running, so I think Rich has a point. By the way, my manual states a 16.0 gallon capacity, and I've only ever been able to squeeze 14.25 in there. Unfortunately, I didn't fill it up on the day I ran it to empty. ___________ ||E[__] [__]|[_]\\ | =======| - || * * * =( o )--------( o )=p '85 |
