Easiest way to figure your fuel, is based on mileage..top the tanks, drive for what ever distance your calculator say's...oooh...175 gallons will take you at say...5 miles per gallon. Go that far...then top off your tanks and do your math.
After that, all you need to do is watch your mileage, based on how much fuel you buy each day. If you figure the truck gets a gallon per mile rate of 5.8 ...and you buy 85 gallons per day...then you know to stop for fuel after 400 miles. Always leave yourself a cuushion for the extra miles it might take to get to fuel. Stopping early for fuel is better than stopping late.
Don't try and operate the truck based on how many inches you have in the tanks.
