    Fumes can get nasty in the cab from leaky fuel or injector line

    Just slow 'er down to 65 that's a good enough definition of limping it to the next truck stop

    I figured that's why these thing have so many extra tires. Pre-installed spares.

    Run it, nothing will happen or maybe not. image.jpeg
    I had a small leak last month and nothing happened, just a small fire, I was parked and it happened on start up.
    If you have to ask you got no business in this profession. After you burn the truck down and get a large tow bill and a $20k epa clean up the boss isn't going to give you a "attaboy" for saving him a service call.
