thanks to big bad diesel for getting me on the subject of the transfer tank and linking tanks
your welcome I think lol |
I have a 38 gallon main tank, and a 110 gallon bed tank. I can drive from Colorado to Bend, non stop and drive around for a week in town.
I drove for 38 hours straight from North Carolina to Bend, Or... Stopping for fuel only, pulling a YJ... Its quite easy. |
I've done it empty stopping ony for fuel, if you do this towing 20k your gonna kill yourself. Towing a trailer wears yuo out 2x as fast if your towing it right. You would also be an idiot for not stoping to check the load, tires, pressures, and bearings. Don't do it man, for your saftey and others.

when i was pullin hotshot i had a 143 gallon fuel tank off a freightliner, plus the 36 gallon tank thats on the truck linked together, gravity feed...i did put a ball valve in line tho so i could shut the big tank off if i wanted too....i could go alllooonnnggg way on 179 gallon :tu:
|
i guess at 3 a.m. i wasnt thinkin about checkin the load
|
I would clarify the "challenge" a bit...
You need to stop from time to time to check tires, connections and load... Other then that, its very easily done. |
ok so i'll make an ammendment to it with limited time load checks only
|
Amendment two, you get tired pull over and sleep. No amount of time is worth your life... Worse yet no amount of time is worth someone elses. You think you could live with yourself if you fell asleep or in your tired state, you did something stupid, or reacted to late and killed someone or a whole family?
I have done the 24 hour thing, more time then I have donr it though I've pulled over halfway for a nap. |
idk why you woudnt want to stop a few times. even only for a few minutes. i know my ass falls asleeps every 500 miles or so. i like stopping for that reason.
