When using the resource guide, I can't find the fuel tank calculator, all I get is an ERROR message.

Howdy All,

I am trying to print out the gallons per inch chart that is on the tank size calculator but when I click the link all I get is an error message.

If anyone knows what happened to that link or knows if it is still active could you direct me to it.  I am trying to chart the capacity of my Peterbilt tanks which are 24 inches in diameter by 64 inches long.  I have looked on the net but all I can find is a calculator that gives the size, in my case 125 gallons but I can't find one that gives gallons per inch in the tank.  Any help to find such a calculator will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Howdy All,

I found this calculator, input your tank diameter and length it will calculate the amount of gallons the tank will hold when full AND the amount of fuel in the tank when measured in increments from 1/8" to one full inch.  Using the one inch measurement is good for our use.  HERE'S THE LINK.

"IF" the link in the resource guide is no longer operative perhaps someone can up date the guide with this link.

I know my Volvo tanks are listed as 125 gallons, but they actually only hold 117 gallons as their true capacity.

Unfortunately they don't do a chart that I think you are looking for. You would have to put in each inch in the available box.

Howdy Tom,

The new link I posted will give you the gallons per inch of fuel in the tank.  It's much like the old link that worked in resource guide.

Howdy DM,

That's a good calculator, it gives gallons per inch just like the link I posted.  Hopefully someone will up date the resource guide.

Where can you build a "dipstick" chart on your link?

[Mark and Dale Bruss]

Fixed the link.

It would be a great help that when you find a broken link, you notify me so I can fix it.

Howdy DM,

input your dimensions where it asks for them, tell it to calculate, this is what it gave me for a chart.

Howdy Mark,

Thanks for fixing the resource guide.  I thought I was helping by making it known that the link given no longer worked.

Keep that stick hospital clean or don't use it.  Wood and hollow tubing can't stay hospital clean.  2 micron secondary filter or not, a lot of engines can handle the dirt but your HEUI isn't one of them.

Never run your truck below 1/4 tank out here unless you have a Silverleaf or Cat DID or something to see fuel temps.  135 it starts missing, 140 it starts to derate, and 150 it finally sets a code.  In the midwest it probably isn't a worry but out here it is pretty easy to do with the old trucks.  Injectors used to be the biggest worry ever before there were DPF's to worry about.

Howdy Brian,

Thanks for the information.  Please excuse my ignorance what does "DPF" stand for.

What is the best method for notifying you of a change, fix or add to the resource guide?

Thanks,

Scrap,

I have a Cummins and I was wondering about monitoring fuel temp. What would be the best method?

Thanks

DPF = Diesel Particulate Filter.

 

Way newer emissions technology than your Cat has.

Canalyzer 😉. It used to be in Road Relay but I think it left when XPI engines came out in 2010 because it didn't matter anymore.  Or maybe it left with Road Relay 4.  I haven't been able to find in in my Road Relay 5 trucks.  Or you could do BlueFire on your phone and have Mark add it as a parameter for your exact engine and then pick it as a gauge to display or as something to log.  Or my First-Link may have it too, I'd have to bluetooth to a truck tomorrow and see.  That one's a bit small to try to drive by though.  Or there is SilverLeaf as well.  I'm kind of a Road Relay fan since it isn't really a dash Klingon I have to remember to set, but that's just opinion.

* Suppose I should correct myself above.... big CAT is EUI, not HEUI, oops.

[DesertMiner]

Awesome info thanks!👍

i’ve talked To Mark a few times and he seems like a good guy. My requests for added parameters on the BlueFire are on the list but way down near the “maybe” line!
