    ok, thank you, i will figure that out later. So 7.1 x 120 = 852 so 120 gallon weights 852 pounds...
    150 gallon tank will weight 1065 pounds... So total weght of truck with full tanks will add 1900 +/- pounds...
    17500+1900=19400 +/- if this is correct, its still good weight. + 28 gallons of DEF = (200) pound +/-.... interesting.
