Improving Energy Expenditures

Most truck drivers are mindful enough of their trucks' needs that they are not likely to run out of gas on the road. However, long hauls and little sleep might prevent a driver from seeing that his or her gas gauge consistently registers at moderately full to full, even though the gas tank itself might not be full at all. When that happens, the trucks stall out, and the drivers are left to ponder the gauge that still says they have enough gas. Along the way, diesel depots might be within range, and here is how some diesel depots might be of assistance to these waylaid trucks and drivers. 

Reserve Tanks

If the truck has a reserve tank, it could be tapped for fuel, but only if the reserve tank has been filled. If a truck is stuck on the side of the road and there is a reserve tank but the truck still will not go, the reserve tank might be empty. There could also be a problem with the reserve tank's ability to recognize when it needs to release gas into the main tank. If your truck does not have a reserve tank, or if the reserve tank is empty, some depots can deliver and install these tanks and then bring fuel for all tanks as well. 

Fuel Transport

Mobile fuel transports are few and far between, but if you are lucky, the nearest depot has such a service. You only have to call them and request the service by stating your truck's location, your hauling trailer, and your plates. The mobile fuel transport service will come find you and help you out with needed fuel. This fuel transport is a different service from fuel delivery in that fuel transport arrives with a tanker full of diesel fuel and the means to pump that fuel from the tanker right into your truck's tank(s). 

Fuel Delivery

If a depot offers fuel delivery (and not mobile fuel transport service), then it brings two large travel tanks filled with fuel to your location. Depending on how far it is to the next gas station or diesel depot, the person delivering your much-needed fuel this way may pour one or both of the travel tanks of diesel gasoline into your truck's tank(s). You will still have to pay for it, of course, but at least the fuel will help you reach the next filling station stop and/or truck repair shop where your gas gauge can be checked or repaired.
