No where near the Tmc record but this is without the loaded down trailer.

I can't wait until I get my 600 - 700+ highway miles back, lol. 350 miles on a 36 gallon tank is rough, lol.

This is how far I was able to go on a tank this last trip. I went about 5 miles once the low fuel light came on to get to a fuel station. It took 16.4 gallons to fill it up to the top. I wish someone would invent diesel fuel that doesn't foam. :lol: Takes me a good 10 minutes to fill that sucker up.

I always pump on the slowest setting... But even my thirsty pig is good for 40 - 50 miles when the light comes on, lol.

I've pumped 35.5 gallons into the truck before :eek:

I have right at a gallon when that light comes on, maybe less. I have put 33.5 in mine in the middle of Nowhere, Yukon. It was -30F, and I was lucky!

Now that I have modded the fuel module, I am scared to run it to the light, I might be out!

I'm still running the factory draw straw, so I don't worry as much, lol

Mine is a 14.5 gallon tank. So I had probably a gallon in the tank still since I have pumped as much as 17.5 gallons in it before.

Ummm...math?

I put 105L into my old truck with a 98L tank before... But I'd been running on the empty mark around town for a week, lol. Probably had to fill the fuel lines.
