This is what happened to me a few months ago. I am driving a 2004 fl century with two 150 g tanks. I have in dash computer that shows how much fuel I used and the average mpg. I was on i-80 in Nebraska when the engine shut down and I pulled over on the shoulder. I looked on computer and it said that I used 210 g of fuel. I was about to call for help when noticed a flying j 100 meters away. What a coincidence ! So I grabbed my wallet and went there. I bought a 5 gallon can, put diesel in it and went back to truck. I did this two times. It took me 2 hours going back and forth. I started the truck and drove almost to the sign where it says Trucks here --> when engine stopped working. I knew there was about 10 gal in tanks. I went inside flying j and asked for help. The guy who worked there sprayed starting fluid into air intake and I started it and drove to the pumps. How surprised I was when both tanks only took 240 gallons of diesel. On the tanks it says clearly 150 . Where is the catch ? Where is another 60 gal ? I will appreciate If anyone could explain me where did 60 gal go ???
150 gal tanks
