    They were probably (maybe?) being straight with you about the aftermarkets (I've never gotten more than $5 for one) but with this one, they should be able to tell how "full/empty" it is and pay accordingly. Just put a rod through the end missing the plug and mark how far it goes. Then compare to the outside. I forget exactly but I think if it went further than half way, it was considered empty and into the Light Iron pile.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Same here.
    Profit wise hard to take the time and use a $2.50 blade to cut off a $5.00 Cat
    Doesn't really make a lot of sense, or money for that matter
    BUT I just can't bring myself to leave a Cat on a vehicle when it goes across the scale

    My guy would use the rod and most times counts that as a half and pays accordingly
