how do you like your prius?

faqs · life off balance
i love penelope the prius. she’s super comfortable and handles great and gets great gas mileage and has all kinds of fun features like keyless entry and ignition. the only things i don’t like about the car both have to do with her gps system: 1) sometimes she gets confused about giving directions; and 2) she won’t let you enter in a destination if you are moving. i know it’s dangerous to do it while you are driving, but the passenger should be able to do it.

How do I convert my DUI BC for doubles?

DUI - Diving Unlimited International Virtual Customer Servic...
While your DUI BC is not specifically designed for use with double tanks, it is possible to use it with some sets of doubles. You will need to remove the tank bands and slide a back plate, available from many manufacturers, between the harness and bladder. There are grommets on the harness and the bladder to match the 11” spacing that is standard on back plates. The package can then be bolted to a set of banded doubles. We do not recommend you use DUI’s BC on larger tanks.
