How long will Reefer fuel last

Cycle?Continuous?TK?Carrier?Region?Trailer?Tank size?
Varies. But a few days.

 

It depends entirely on the reefer unit itself. In my experience the age of the unit is the biggest factor. I have had older units barely last me a day and brand new ones up to 3 1/2 days. Generally around 2 days or so. But always check the gauge while fueling your tractor to be safe.

 

The reefers we have use between 1/4 and 1/2 tank a day depending on age, setting, outside temp ect...I just fill mine everytime I fuel the tractor. Same with DEF... everytime. If I pick up a trailer, I fill it the next time I fuel. Even if I'm not on a refrigerated load. I'll need it next load or the next driver will.

 

Until il it runs out? 😎

 

No matter how long it last its wise to always check your reefer tank and if you ever drop it at say a pacing house terminal or wherever loaded,always make sure the tank is full especially at a customer because they will refuse the load till you go fill it.

 

all depends on the refer tank size... some are 25 gallon, some are 50, some are 75, some are 100.... best to fill it everytime you fill the ruck.

 

Not sure if the numbers you gave were different temp settings or refr temp and outside air temp.

Outside ambient temp is also a factor.

you actually scare me with these type of questions..... kind of like asking how long a tank tank of gas will last in your car?

 

Its just an unnecessary question. If you just monitor the fuel gauge you will have your answer within the next couple of days....
