Notes/Comments: Back to the old drawing board with respect to the diesel leak. The new mod didn't work as we hoped, so we're back to the original configuration while thinking about what to try next.

Oil:
GenSet Quantity: 0 quarts
ATV Quantity: 10.5 quarts
V'ger Quantity: 14.5 quarts
Water Status:
Outside Potable Water Tank Level: 340 gallons = 1287.0 L
Trailer Potable Water Tank Level: 27 cm from the base
Water Meter Reading: 7529.0 gallons = 28500.3 L
Water Consumed: 59 gallons = 223.3 L
Grey Water Used: 27 gallons = 102.2 L
Flushes: 9
Showers: 1
Sponge Baths: 0
Tonight's Meter Readings:
Out to Toilet: 1243.2(+23.5 since yesterday)
In to GreenHab: 2988.1 (+441.7 since yesterday)
Considering that we haven't flooded several square miles of desert and completely washed away the GreenHab, I'd say we have conclusive evidence that that meter is untrustworthy. Today we rerouted the line with the errant flow meter so that it now runs horizontally instead of vertically. This is an experiment to see if we'll get enough of an improvement tomorrow. Leslie and I tried to install a filter on the line out from the TST, but had to abandon the effort for lack of fittings. She plans to acquire same tomorrow.
