Reparing a hole in the gas tank on a Cascadia to get moving.

I have a driver who had hit something and caused his fuel tank to start a dribble of fuel. He noticed and quickly got the tank drained and truck parked. Now we’re stuck with either finding somebody to pipe the fuel tanks in a way to only pull from the pass. side as urgently as possible or finding a rental truck (0 inventory within a 1000 mile radius of driver’s location). Shops are giving us a weeks time to even give the truck a look.

Any advice? Any small time fleets or rental agencies I may not be aware of near Western Nebraska? Any shops you guys know and trust that could get this driver rolling? I’m trying to figure out a way to get this done, trailer’s running a produce load so we’re kind of screwed in terms of time. Figured I’d ask you seasoned guys if there’s any other way to go about this outside of having to send a bob tail ~1,500 miles to grab this trailer. Thank you and I appreciate your help!

 

Near North Platte area

 

I’m not familiar with how the fuel system is plumbed with this Cascadia, we feared it would siphon fuel into the driver side tank once it got going. From what I was told whatever he hit knicked a few airlines running near the tank as well.

 

I’m going to get a few new photos from him right now, this happened to him early last night and I couldn’t see Jack sh** besides the stream of fuel. Will update.
