    You also have fuel shut off valves on the passenger side tank so next time you can shut those and just fill the driver side up. Just fyi

    Reefer tank should have drain #### on bottom. Open and pour in a bucket.

    can charge batteries with Reefer too, just need long thick jumper cables

    Wow thanks guys. I finally got it to work.
    Got to the fuel lane all fueled up made sure I spilled some just to be sure haha
    A new trucking lesson never park with low fuel especially at an angle.
    My arm is so pumped I feel like a body builder.
    Btw that’s my truck. Red Volvo #137

    I got a hose and, well, did what i saw my dad do back in the country. Suck it out using your mouth into a container that’s how I got the reefer fuel in my truck.

    I'd get a shaker style siphon hose. Unless you want a mouth full of diesel. They are pretty cheap and simple.
