    If you drive fast enough, the wind will blow the fire out.

    My ### is on fire, should I put it out, or can I continue to run around in circles screaming like a girl? What do you guys think?

    Keep accelerating, don't hit the brakes. Keep the weight transferred back on the drives and you will be fine.

    Think MONEY.

    A small hazmat spill will cost you 5x what the load is paying. Even if you have to delay delivering until the next day, you're still way ahead.

    A black Peterbilt (older truck) bobtailing passed me on 285 on the south side of Atlanta today. Sprayed diesel on me and every other poor motorist he got ahead of. Messed up my windshield and the leading edges of the truck a bit, a day after it was washed.

    Called out to him to inform him, but no reply (naturally). So, no, don't drive with a fuel leak.
     
    Badmon and bzinger Thank this.
