I have a 1994 Monaco RV with a Cummings 300 diesel with what I believe has air in the fuel line. How do I remove the air, I pushed the primer button below the fuel pump until I could smell fuel, the engine turned over for about 15 sec. and still no start. Help!

Anywhere from 50 to 300, depending on how the buyer had it spec'd out. 240 gallons is pretty common for a line haul OTR truck.
Nothing can weigh in gallons . 300 gallons of diesel is weighed in pounds or Kilos, and is about 7.0 pounds per US Gallon, - DEPENDING on temperature and SPECIFIC GRAVITY of that diesel fuel. - So ultimately 300 gallons of diesel will weigh between 2,070 and 2,160 pounds.
YES! You're allowed to transport 1000 lbs. of diesel fuel before it requires a CDL and hazmat endorsement. A gallon of diesel fuel weighs between six and seven pounds.. with 300 gallons, you'd have between 1800 and 2100 lbs.
Try looking for air in the fuel line - that's the problem with mine. Unfortunately stopping air from getting in is the tricky bit. If you're lucky it's the fuel filter, if not you need to check / replace the sections of line.
Replace the fuel filter. This fixed the same problem on my 1983 300 turbo diesel.
In Vietnam the US Army's M48A3 Patton tank held approximately 300 gallons of diesel fuel.
300 kw power generate and fuel consumption
Because a diesel requires a fuel sprayed under high pressure. Compression on most diesels is over 300 PSI. Injector pressure when the fuel is sprayed can be from 1500-2500 PSI. This is why you need to be careful around diesel lines. The pressure can cut your skin or inject fuel into your body. That can cause problems. A carb can't deliver any pressure.
on the low pressure side of the fuel injection there is a rubber hose with a cloth cover that runs between the injectors, this is where you are most likely getting the leak and smell of diesel.
A boiler is used to boil water, but many boilers work at high pressure so the temperature could be up to about 300 degrees C. Boilers are usually fed with oil that is heavier than diesel, while diesel is used to fuel diesel engines.
