Class 8 trucks don't use gas - they use diesel. The capacity of the fuel tanks depends on how it's ordered. A local truck might only hold 100 gallons or so, while a long distance line haul truck might hold well over 300 gallons. For most fleet truck, 240 to 280 gallons is the norm. The truck I'm currently driving (and typing out this post from the sleeper of) has a capacity of 260 gallons.
