    Is there a limit how much of fuel you can carry?
    Here it is 1500L (397 gallons), this include fuel for ref.unit for trailer combined.

    If your fuel tanks combined are more than 1500L you can get fine even if they are not full.
    This is related to fire hazzard. Above truck should be ADR (hazmat)

    Fleet road trucks 2x 100 gallon tanks . Vocational maybe a single 100 or 2 x75 gallon.

    my truck has 2X135 gallon tanks. However after delivery I split one tank and have 70/65 gallon fuel/ hydraulic oil

    So I got 205 gals fuel and 65 gals Hyd oil

    most you ever see is 2x150 gals fuel plus separate hydraulic tank for that kind of work

    I had twin 150’s on the old corn binder. Loved the flexibility it gave.
