I ran out of fuel

ok , so final update, the service g didnt have a wrench either. after a little while messing around with his primer, and trying to start it up with no luck, it ended up taking 4 good ether starts and refilling the bulb each time before it finaly caught and even then it wasnt quit all the way. a few seconds of metal to wood evened it out though. after a hot fuel while my battery charged i was on my way. so i learned some things

 

1. ether is bad for your engine, but it works
2. your logs arent as important as your truck.
3. it's hard to judge low fuel in a construction zone.
4. dont risk running out of fuel. the bottom of the tank has less fuel than the bottom.
5. Idleing sucks fuel faster than I realized.
7. if you do run out of fuel, expect to need an external electrical source.
8. O/O's are better equiped to handle most issues comapred to some service trucks.
9.

 

9. I could have bought the tools I needed cheaper than the cost of thevservice.
10. Users on truckersreport.com are really helpful and knowledgeable.

In the future i want to learn more about maintenance, repair, and trouble shooting so i dont have more issues.

 

my company isnt as mad about the service truck, as they are about the missed appt.
