How many gallons does an 18-wheeler hold?

Question

And just how much is it costing to fill that baby up these days?!

Answer 1

it all depends on the configuration of the truck. Peterbuilts usually gave two 150 gallon tanks. the gas bill will easily run you 1100-1200 bucks or more.

Answer 2

$1000 bucks for dual tanks when completly empty

Answer 3

About 300 gallons in 2 saddle tanks and another 50 or so if it is a reefer. About $1700 bucks if empty.

Answer 4

Most common setup is twin 100 gallon tanks... but remember that those tanks are actually set up to have some space, so actually only hold about 95 gallons each. Some city use semi's may only have one 100 gallon tank, while some specialty semi's can have twin 180 gallon tanks and up to 4 other tanks, perhaps adding another 200 gallons to the total.

The truck I drive has the twin 100's (see above on the 95 gallon comment) and it takes well over 700 dollars to fill.

Answer 5

depends on the size of the tanks. Some are 70, 80, 100, 150. There is one take on each side
