there is no typical fuel capacity. can be anywhere from 50 to 200 gallons per tank and most semi's have a tank on each side,which doubles the capacity a semi that is not used for long haul, but typically local deliveries will usually have smaller tank to enable more weight removed from empty truck which can then be applied to payload,also this is done as local usually have access to fuel more often and more convenient
