How are they going to get more fuel especially if the government doesn't want them to?

Pretty sure I saw on PDW that they can idle upwards of 1500 hours since they have a 150 gallon tank
Better pump those numbers up. 150 gallon tank is what you find on a in state truck. Some of Them over the road boys are carrying 500+ gallons.
Yep those are ROOKIE NUMBERS
Most all trucks have saddle tanks, one on each side. Most trucks can carry 300 gallons, some more some less.
Going ten hours on one gallon of diesel in a large engine seems a bit optimistic to me
Run lean at low RPM and it can be done
A diesel barely sips fuel at idle. More like they dip the tip of thier tongues in it.
I understand that quite well but there's no way it sips a tenth of a gallon in an hour. My limited research is telling me they use around 0.8-1.0 gallons idling for an hour. I don't own one though, so I don't know anything.
