Could be any of several issues including but not limited to: clogged fuel filter, bad fuel pump (or perhaps a blown fuel pump fuse), or even something as simple as a vacuum leak. A bad fuel pump can sometimes supply enough pressure to provide the fuel needed to idle, but as soon as there is a load on the engine it is starved and cuts out. Same with a vacuum leak, it will idle fine until there is a load on the engine.
With the engine off (alot of moving parts you don't want to get caught up in) Look for a hose that seems to be disconnected. If you dont have or cant get a repair manual (haynes or chilton's) checkyour local library, many carry a wide selection of repair manuals in the reference section and they all include a troubleshooting section that may help as well as vacuum diagrams to help you chase down a vacuum leak.
If it is a Ford, there is an inertia switch that can be triggered by an accident or even a hard run in with a pothole. It shuts off the fuel to the engine. If that's the case, below your radio where the hump is in the middle of the floor is a black panel right along the carpet. If you remove that the switch is hidden behind there. Just push the red button down and it will reset.

How much fuel does a tandem dump truck use per hour?
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.
