   A) it's 30 gallons.
B) at the tongue, it equals about 65 pounds difference. with/without. Not an issue. The adjustments are not precise enough to adjust for that change.

	I know and have read many times that when adjusting a Weight Distribution Hitch (Equalizer in my case), the truck and trailer should be loaded as if hitting the road. My variable and hence my question is whether to adjust with the 35 gallons of water or not?? Some trips we go to full service CG's and I don't load it down with the water and some trips are with a full tank of water. The 179 has its tank between the axle and tongue. Is it better to have that extra load during adjustment, then without the water the hitch could possible be over adjusted? Or better in the other case in which it would be under adjusted?
