In this thrilling episode of Cleetus McFarland's escapades, the team dives headfirst into the world of aviation fuel trucks. With the purchase of two behemoths, one guzzling diesel and the other sipping jet fuel, the stage is set for a high-octane adventure. As they roll up their sleeves and inspect the trucks, a diesel-powered beast roars to life, showcasing the team's mechanical prowess. However, the jet fuel truck proves to be a tougher nut to crack, with carburetor issues and a stubbornly locked-up engine throwing a spanner in the works.
Undeterred by setbacks, the team embarks on a mission to revive the dormant jet fuel truck. With grit and determination, they attempt to coax the engine back to life, resorting to unconventional methods and a dash of ATF for good measure. Despite their valiant efforts, the engine remains resolute in its slumber, hinting at the need for a potential engine replacement.

With ATF-soaked cylinders and a hefty dose of elbow grease, they make one last valiant attempt to awaken the dormant beast. However, the engine's stubborn refusal to budge signals a decisive moment in their aviation fuel truck saga. The team contemplates the next steps, pondering the prospect of a new engine acquisition and the financial implications that come with it. Amidst the challenges and setbacks, one thing remains certain - the thrill of the chase and the unyielding spirit of automotive adventure drive the team forward in their quest for mechanical triumph.
