3.R. MOON 1987 Journal 31 22 April Granite Cove, Granite Mountains (near kelso), San Bernardino co., CA. I spent the day draining the fuel tank on a diesel buick. I had to jack the car up, remove the fuel tank, siphon the diesel and water out, and reinstall the tank under the car. I siphoned about 2/3 of a gallon of water out of a 15 gallon tank. I think a lot of the water had been accumulating for several months, but I suspect that most of the water came from Ludlow's truck stop diesel. Philippe Cohen, director of the Granite Mountains Natural Reserve, told me that he has had problems with water in his diesel fuel (from Ludlow) for his generator. After I fixed the fuel tank, I returned to Dorner's camp to relax for the rest of the afternoon.
