    i would guess a mile &1/2 at full load hope you find someone reasonable to straighten the situation out. will follow posted progress. i dealt with some v12 gmcs years ago the best we could get out of them was 2 1/4 mpg pulling gas tankers ps they belonged to texaco

    that thing would have to have a fuel inlet tube the size of a garden hose and pump to match if it were going to produce rpms/power . running in the video was at idle it sounded like .if it just died out from there sounds to me like it was for whatever reason simply running out of gas . carbs could have been fine fuel supply or lack of at fault
