fuel gauge

[OLD EAGLE]

Finally, my new RAM 3500 crew cab, cab chassis.

It has stock, dual Diesel fuel tank set up, 52 gal and 22 gal.

What does the fuel gauge tell me? 74 gal? 54 gal? Or?

I have yet to add Diesel. And, I am leaving on a three week trip and would be more comfortable if I knew.

I don't want to find the answer in the middle of the desert somewhere.

Thanks all,

Old eagle

It should use both tanks automatically and the gauge shows the overall level of total fuel.

Ram Chassis Cab offers a dual fuel-tank system. The system consists of two fuel tanks with independent fill necks. A mid-ship-positioned tank carries 22 gallons, and the rear tank carries 52 gallons for a fuel-volume of 74 gallons. The system is self-leveling, automatically transferring fuel between the tanks, eliminating the need to switch between fuel sources. When both tanks are full, the system draws fuel from the front tank until it’s down approximately five gallons, at which point a pump starts transferring fuel to the front tank maintaining the level until the rear tank is depleted. Once the rear tank is depleted, all fuel is drawn from the front tank.
