About how many gallons do you burn idling for 10hr break?
Have about 50 gallons right now, is it safe to idle during break in cold weather for the night?

1 Gallon an hour idling is a good ballpark.

Should run a gallon an hour, how sure are you of the amount of fuel?
-
I figure a gallon an hour. It won't hurt anything to idle
-
Yeah, about a gallon an hour ..but, you say you have "about" 50 gallons, right ? Some tanks won't draw the last 10 gallons from the bottom, sooooooooo, do you feel lucky ? Well, do ya' ?
