Want this question answered?
I personally do beleive that truck can be too big. Especially with todays gas prices,it is probablly best to have a smaller truck that consumes less fuel.
A car consumes fuel when it is running.
In idle? The configuration of the tractor has nothing to do with determining that. It's the motor which does, and the consumption rate in idle for a motor would be the same for a tandem axle dump truck as it would be for the same motor in a road tractor, box truck, quad axle dump truck, cement mixer, etc.
25,000 - 35,000L depending on configuration
30 L per hour
You need to be more precise with your question. What kind of truck? Are we talking about a Ford Courier mini truck or a TITAN dump truck?
The dump body is an aftermarket item, and where the reservoir is can vary. I'd start by looking under the truck, as that tends to be a fairly common place. It may also be possible that the fuel tank was split, and part of it used for hydraulic oil.
Glucose is the most common fuel the mitochondria consumes.
if you have a mechanical fuel pump on the side of your block, the diaphragm has a hole in it which will dump fuel straight into your oil. a low cost fix.
The extra weight is undesirable, the V8 consumes more fuel, and the inline-six configuration actually delivers more torque in comparison to displacement than a V8 does.
If the dump is run by a pto you can tow it in gear (you said manual trans) with the pto engaged and you should be able to raise the dump box. There is a lift fuel pump in each tank and a high pressure pump on the frame rail below the drivers door area.
You need to expense a dump truck at a dollars per hour, as mileage for dump trucking is mostly in a close in area to cities and mostly close to gravel pits, asphalt plants. My own experience is that for every mile you operate a dump truck the cost of operation are double that of road trucks, the wear and tear on them is so much more that the cost of operation is very high, fuel mileage is low due to constant start and stop.
