It’s been another great week. I picked up my weekend load and had a little extra time. So I went ahead and replaced two trailer tires.
Taking your truck to small Independent shops and mechanics and staying away from big name dealerships will save you tons of money $$ .

A fuel valve can be a life saver or an annoyance depending on the situation. Daniel Davis from TEL is here to show you where to find the fuel valve on a Volvo and when you should have it open or closed. Pro tip: sometimes as a joke, other drivers will shut off a fuel valve while you are parked. So that’s just one of many reasons why you should get familiar with your fuel valve.
And don’t miss out on our other TEL Tips with Daniel where you can learn how to service other parts of your truck.
Thanks for watching!

This is Daniel Davis with Transport Enterprise Leasing bringing you another TEL Tip. Today I wanna talk about the fuel shut-off valves on the Volvos. If you have a situation where your truck’s only pulling fuel from one tank or if you have a fuel tank with a bad leak on it, you need to close it off for emergency situations if it has a leak. But if you’re only drawing fuel from one tank, you wanna make sure both valves are open. On this valve, you can see right now that it’s crossed. That means one tank’s closed off. To simply open it up, make sure that the valve is in line with the fitting coming out of the tank. This is Daniel Davis bringing you another TEL Tip. Thank you for watching.
