I was assigned this 2019 Kenworth t680 with 65k on it. All the paperwork that came with the truck is in the truck. Problem is I can't find anything that specs the fuel tanks. I've pulled in on e and only pumped in 150 gallons. But I find it hard to believe this thing was ordered with twin 75s... . How do I know for sure the size of my fuel tanks?
Size of my tanks?

Should be stamped around the neck or a tag on the end will have the capacity.

Most I've ever put in my 2018 t680 is 145 gallons and it was right on empty.

In my Cascadia I don't really start to worry until 100 miles after it hits zero.
If I'm really heavy.
When it indicates 1/2 about 70 gallons will top it off. At 1/8 I can put in about 130.
2 100 gallon tanks.
I call for fuel more often than I use the assigned fuel stops because the computer always thinks I have way less than I do, and I hate wasting my time to get 50 gallons. -

I slip seat at a yard with trucks that some are route trucks. 2 truck I could use 1 was broke the other is on empty and it was Sunday. I took the getting one and thought you could drive under the empty line and took the empty trailer across street for load then bobtailed to get fuel on the kenworth with duel tanks. 194.176@ 659.92 was stupid now and could have got fired but made it loves 5 miles away

Sounds like scab company if they'd send you out in a truck with no fuel in it and then fire you if it ran out.
I don't know why people/companies make such a big deal out of little crap like that. We had a driver years ago run out of fuel 600 feet down the road from the yard. Not even an issue, I just ran down the road with a pickup and slip tank, threw 15 gallons in the tank and sent the truck on its way to the cardlock. Hardly even worth getting upset over.Last edited: Jul 28, 2024
Sons Hero Thanks this. -
Yes seems the only good companies are gone and filled up. I hope they wouldn't fire me but turnover is so high and write up a so many especially with the new driver facing cameras that watch all the time and the governor is so annoying that cars pull so close they mess with the camera, brakes and put fear in everything.they car and pickups play, especially when they push you in the left lane and not let you back.
