You have to use a blend of braking and shifting to slow down.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enhance truck Speed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Drive at an optimum speed of 55-60 meters per hour, if it\u2019s possible for you to drive so. \u00a0As this optimum speed is necessary to deal with a headwind, which is tough on the efficiency of the engine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Proper Tire inflation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A great idea to save fuel is proper tire inflation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aerodynamic trucks<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When the goods on the truck lie smoothly, the trailers will help move the air around the truck efficiently, and help to save the diesel.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Look for the best prices<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You should not always buy diesel from truck shops, because they mostly use biodiesel, producing less power than straight diesel. As more power the greater will, be fuel range.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Where to shop?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before you leave for your trip, shop the diesel online as it will help you save a lot of money. Because it is not always necessary to buy it from the truck store.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>By Changing Fuel Filters<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure that you are changing fuel filters for one time a month or many times during winter months with regularity. Blocked filters can ruin your diesel fuel economy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>By Changing Air Filters<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You need to change air filters annually. For gravel roads, change them every six months.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Anti-Resistance Additives<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moly anti-resistance additives for the complete drivetrain, engine, and drives. Moreover, Moly grease is especially for wheel bearings and u-joints.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thermostat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You need a cooler than a typical thermostat for the engine. As, the injector atomizes the diesel into the cylinder, and a hot cylinder vaporizes the portion of diesel spray before it burns. As a result, potential power reduces.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trailer Shape<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The shape of the trailer affects fuel consumption. For example, all the trucking companies get great fuel ranges for their taskforce, because there is a better movement of air and less drag over the trailers of the truck.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use Conditioner for Diesel <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most people are uninformed that out of total fuel in the tank, only 75% tank converts into power for igniting, while 25% of the fuel is not. That is why you need a Lucas or fuel conditioner while filling the tank.<\/p>\n<p>The conditioner is necessary to make that 25% also converting into power.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Changing Your Driving Style<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most benefiting advice for a truck driver to achieve the best diesel fuel economy is to improve the style of your driving. Improve your way of driving to enhance the profit margin.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Fueling tips<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mixing fuel additive with fuel ensures fuel mileage in cold weather.<\/li>\n<li>Adding one injector cleaner a month will lengthen the engine\u2019s life.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure filling tanks before moving to unknown areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost every trucker wants to take benefit from saving a lot by following few diesel fuel-saving tips, as diesel is the highest trucker\u2019s expense.
