      @@jcrefasi1 That's kind of what I was thinking. Charge only for the rollback to get him to civilization, rather than charging twice (once for the pullout, once for the tow). He'd still be out a bit (operating the ORR does cost)--but the tradeoff is goodwill and you still get the video (which can make some money, though not a lot). Oh, and possibly slightly simpler accounting (why two charges to the same person for the same vehicle?, ask the card companies).

      @@erichusmann5145 don't underestimate what YT pays creators based on number of subs and views and advertisement rev. It is a considerable amt. I saw a video by a furniture painter/flipper and she has way less subs than MORR and less comments on her vids and she claims she received a check from YT for several thousand dollars for 1 month at 1 video per week. Sometimes a second one but not every week. No way to verify it but to tell her followers in a video YT could monitor, I'd guess it was the truth. They also have a revenue stream from MORR merchandise. Not saying they don't earn every penny but just don't underestimate YT revenue😁

    I have an Xterra, and I’ve heard on forums not to run below 1/4 tank too often. It’s hard on the fuel pump since it’s not being cooled by surrounding fuel. I’m not sure if this is a Nissan problem or if that’s the case for many vehicles. Based on this guys 1 gallon comment, and general unpreparedness I’d be willing to bet he runs on E quite often.

      You have to be turning the engine over at the same time. Just whacking the tank doesn't do it. It needs to be trying to pump.
