Simple Sticker Reminds You Where The Gas Cap Is
If you have several vehicles you use in your farming operation, it’s easy to pull into a gas station and forget which side the gas cap is on.
  FARM SHOW reader John Drew III has a simple solution. His patented/trademarked Tank Target sticks to the inside of your windshield on the side the tank is located. It’s similar to oil change reminders that mechanics stick to windshields.
  Drew is a minister who runs service that transports people in wheelchairs and stretchers. Driving different vans, it was hard to remember which side the gas tank was on.
  “I was always feeling like an idiot on the wrong side of the pump. It was truly frustrating,” Drew says. “This is a real time saver.”
  He’s had a positive response since he started selling the reminders a year ago at local car shows and events. Packages of two sell for $1.99 retail.
  “My biggest customers are individuals,” he says. But Tank Targets are also perfect for any business or farm with a fleet of vehicles – from buses and taxis to tractors, farm equipment, emergency vehicles and rental car fleets.
  Proceeds from the Tank Target help fund an inner-city youth not-for-profit organization that Drew founded, called Camp CARVER (City Agricultural Resourceful Visionaries Entering Real-life), named after Dr. George Washington Carver. The organization introduces youth to agriculture, and is raising money to purchase a new tractor (donations gratefully accepted).
