    Do you still need help? Where are you? I can bring you some more fuel and help get it primed I'm off today.

    It's a Excellent IDEA and is for Your Comfort and Well Being!

    Couple of companies I worked at, briefly, had us only filling up ONE TANK and we ran Equal Twin Tanks at 125 -150 gallons.

    Thanks 4 Yur Tym!
    CHEERS!!

    Near the Walmart DC.
    I did get fuel out of the reefer and brought the truck up to 1/4 tank just as it showed before I went to bed.
    now the truck won’t start and I don’t wanna kill the battery. Geez.

    You got to prime it. It happened to me before. I filled the fuel water separator(full) & primed it and watched level go down to make sure I got the air out of the line.

    @YoungGAtrucker25
    Can you post a picture of your fuel filters, should be on drivers side, so we know what system you have and can maybe describe more accurately what you need to do to get it going. Not close up, from front to back of engine basicly

    Yes I’ve been doing that but no response
    My arm hurts and I smell like diesel so bad I’d be toast if I catch a spark lol
