    Large Flatbed MV trailer....

    Deuce fuel tank dimensions...

    You'll run out of fuel on a hill before you run out of fuel on the flats. I've done this. Pulled up to the level spot and at a light right as the engine died. Then scrambled to get the fuel system bled while blocking traffic at a light.

More likely it should cause problems for the fuel pump as it's working on dryer fuel with little lubrication. but with Diesel in it, it should be fine. I'd see about...
