    I drive a pump truck and I only have one tank on the passenger side. I usually get fuel at the flying j since they are one of the only places around here that take the fuel card my company uses. My question is, when you turn the pump on, do you have to have the main one out for the satellite one to work or can it stay in its cradle or what? I feel kinda bad about getting fuel from the RV area since the main pump is on the right side.

    You probably have to take the nozzle out of the pump, flip the switch up and lay it down somewhere safe while you use the satellite.

    I would be a little nervous that the guy next to me might squeeze a few gallons into his tank from my nozzle.... It's a good idea to use a bungee cord or tarp strap to fasten the nozzle to the step or rear deck.

    turn the main on and lay the nozzle on the ground. Go to the sat. and fill up. Hang them both up when done. All of our str8 trucks have passenger side tanks.
