Drenched in Diesel

[@tomallis3954]

A versatile adventure Jack. You covered a lot in this long run and you nailed it like you said in the preview. The music, the scenery, and editing was perfect. Thank you for sharing once again. Always look forward to the next journey.

[@indianajack]

Tom Allis as always, thanks Tom.

[@tomallis3954]

How about a full blown movie Jack. Kind of along the lines of, "Big Rig" back in 2007. A tribute and educational action documentary with all of your years, in action, on film. I know that you and your cohorts have the talent to do it.

[@az_roadtech]

Hey Jack! Chris here from The Shop. Glad to hear you made to a place to get that tank welded up. Also sorry about leaving some fuel in the tank, could'a swore we got most of it out.

[@part380]

Could that have been from the return fuel line?

[@az_roadtech]

John Taratuta absolutely not, I removed BOTH fuel lines and plugged them off. Also plugged the tank. Just some fuel was left behind, really difficult to get every last drop.

[@gjman1972]

Chris Buesa It looked like you did a good job Chris if I'm ever in that area and have a problem like Jack did your the first person I'm gonna call.

[@b61mack56]

Once again, another great video Jack. As a semi retired trucker, I can relate to that life and all problems it brings with it. Stay Safe!

[@hamishkay3010]

Indiana Jack is one of those really awesome truckers who you could easily get on with. I love watching his video's they inspire me to become a trucker in the USA. Driving a longhood Peterbilt and Kenworth

[@MrGerritStok]

Hello Jack, like to say hello from the Netherlands, west off Germany, Europe.. This week discovered your video's and did ride a lot of miles along with you, I am a Van owner, after a bad accident as trucker. Riding along with you is realy great fun. thanks for the joy. Like i am looking to myself. Lol. Was one time in Sacramento, visit a friend, What a heat there!!!!110!! We're used to 70 One's again thanks for the joy, and try to keep them rolling . . . count your blessings. Like i do. . We're the lucky one's, the freedom we have on the road, whow man. Hope they fix your dieseltank, so that you can ride on. See you!!

[@MrGerritStok]

was 110 degree, we are used to 70 or less. Hope they fix your tank, so you can ride again. Count your blessings, we are the lucky one's with our freedom on the road. Hope to see you soon again! bye bye.

[@jamesburgin8168]

Good video Jack. I especially liked the film of your driving through Amarillo which is where I live. One thing though, the feedlot you showed is actually outside of Amarillo and further to the west. Not only that, but if you've ever driven on US 60 between Canyon and Clovis, NM then you know that there are a couple places much worse. Even so, the folks here in Amarillo are real friendly and there are plenty of truck stops in town right on I-40 if you ever have the need. In any case, I have watched all of your videos and enjoy each and every one. Keep up the good work!

[@indianajack]

+James Burgin Amarillo is one of my favorite towns.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Great video . . . love to see all the rail-cars moving along over the plains . . . here where I live, the railroad is soon to be turned into walking trails . . . a blood shame!

[@NMjack2000]

Nice shot of BNSF rolling along side of you. I retired from there back in 1998. I was a train dispatcher for many years. That line is mostly all double track and they call it the Transcon. They have a train that hauls a lot of UPS and a lot of the freight is UPS Air. But it goes on one of the most famous hot UPS & US Mail the 199 train. Chgo to LA and it runs almost on a psgr train schedule however the travel time is longer ad Amtrak can run 90 MPH on a lot of the route but freight trains is limited to 70 MPH. That is back when I was working. I heard some of the hot freight trains are running 79 MPH in some locations today. Thanks for sharing your videos.

[@indianajack]

I was actually hauling a BNSF load on this trip! Lately I have been hauling quite a few loads for them. I'm a big rail fan!

[@johncollier7744]

Jack, as a Volvo fleet operator in my previous life, ask the dealer to look if the part has been superseded ( it doesn't always show on the Volvo Impact ( parts system) that a part has been superseded. We also found sometimes that getting the dealer to look in the construction vehicle division they would find the part required. There is a lot of commonality between the truck and construction vehicles especially on engine and gearbox transmission. Good luck .

[@danielbevier5813]

Another great video. You are the very best, by far! I think that your nephew did a good job with "Stand By Me". Way more talented than most 12 year-olds, The movie was filmed just about 30 years ago in Brownsville, OR, just off of I-5, One of my favorites of all time. Keep up the great work, Jack!!!

[@charlescheese7997]

I'm really glad you have I trying to videos your channel has become the only thing I watch on TV now thank you Indiana Jack I learned so much from you!

[@MrGerritStok]

Hey Trucker(s). Yesterday saw in one of your films you showed us a great scratch on one of the tanks. Thought the long film of 2015. You said: I must have hit something! It shows, you sure did. Ups! That's part off the job to. Despite the damage, i'm sure you enjoy everydays life on the road, i sure do. The fact that you"re even thankfull for a parkingplace or a baloney sandwich, whow man.I admire that. Makes you humane! We have a lot of Shell service stations here in the Netherlands, they have good coffee!! Starbucks to. Never see you stop or get your coffee by Shell, for purpose or? See you, bye bye! Gerrit

[@barrydee587]

Entertaining as always IndianaJack. You present the part of driving I enjoyed. The other stuff i.e. break downs, waiting, a lot of non paid duties but "I'm not complaining " some guy on this channels always sez while "Always Trucking!!" Keep Smiling Jack.

awsome video as always jack. you really seem to enjoy trucking and it shows.

[@wb6she]

That was a good long video Jack, thanks much...sorry about the fuel tank, but on the brighter side, old Red still looks like a new truck, you must spend lots of time cleaning her!...

[@LEEcolorguard2011]

Was that a reference to Sound of Music? Let's start at the very beginning....a very good place to start...when you read you begin with ABC...when you sing you begin with Do Re Mi?? Was just singing that today as I came down 35. Also....have had a strange urge to buy a siphon the last couple of days...why? Just keep thinking I might need one! Love the videos...always see something I have seen...or learn a great tip for the future!!

[@Deerwood1985]

Excellent video, thank you it is amazing you show all the places the stores, etc, you are very nice. Regards from Argentina.

[@iivaridark6850]

Well, one idea is to empty the tank with drilling a hole there in the lowest corner/end of it - not easy to get it totally dry "on the roadside".... Then, a business idea for repair shop could be to have a spare fuel tank so they could change it on the fly and weld the bad one together when work schedule allows, then use it again as a spare... They actually seem much like another so there might be one size fits all or most of the trucks... Ok, I'm no specialist in any way... But, time is money for everybody. Thanks for the great movie!

[@alicegilbertracing]

Just wondering if a spot of JB weld might have kept the fuel leak closed for a while....

[@Gus2497]

Hi Jack, the reason you are leaking fuel even after emptying the tank is because a little bit of the fuel the injection pump does not use gets sent back to the tank(s) via a separate fuel line. It does it to keep the injection pump cooler.

A tiny bit of Barstow there at 25:58 looks super similar to the Bowlin's at Picacho Peak, AZ on the I-10. Cool video Jack.

[@unclejoe5541]

The continued dripping could be from a fuel return line going back into the cracked tank. BTW, really enjoy the videos and hope to meet up sometime when passing by Tallahassee/Marianna on I-10.

Being a resident of the Shreveport/Bossier area, I cant help but laugh as he was going through. The really rough road recorded there was actually in Bossier City, from Airline Drive to Old Minden Road, headed west bound. Sad to say but Shreveport roads are actually in better shape. Love the videos though. Maybe one day I will catch you rolling through the area and get to say hi to you!

[@MrGerritStok]

Hello there. When i did some shopping for her majesty (my wife) today, a delivery Volkswagen Caddy from Subway stopt next to me before the red light. Asked the guy why he was in suche hurry, Did Jack order a sandwich? Which Jack he yelled at me. Well of course Indiana Jack, your biggest client i yelled back. He looked at me like he saw the missisippi river burning and followed his way with sceaming tires. Haaaaah! You should have seen his face!! laughed out loud, like the guy at the end of your video's.

[@johnmagill3072]

Jack I use that stretch of I-20 from Longview to Shreveport at least once a week to friends or go to the VA. Its horrible. But believe it or not, it's better than it use to be. Luckily I turn off on the last exit before crossing the Red River. I shuttle trailers for Averitt From Shreveport to Dallas, some time's to Abilene and back all the time. I scale out at the TA all the time. The Averitt yard is just a couple blocks from that TA same side of the highway. That little truck you mentioned is for smaller mobile homes that's popular in that area.

A persistent concern I have heard about buying Volvo is (a) servicing; and (b) parts. I found a pie chart that shows the percentage of market share by truck manufacturer.

[@jcboom6894]

I love "Stand by Me". When my daughter wss in high school Nestle was selling baby formula in Africa, telling the mothers it was better for the babies. Of course, it cost money after the samples given and clean water is a luxury in most of Africa. So the babies died of diarrhea or malnutrition because the formula was mixed with too much water to stretch it out. There was a picture of a dying baby on the freezer and one on the refrigerator to remind me not to buy Nestle products. I am not a fan of Nestle and their water tastes like it came out of a spigot in Odessa, TX. The Ozarka water is from Big Spring, TX, not the Ozarks.That mattress tip was a great one for truckers to avoid s hazmat team to a spill site.

Allways tryed to do M25 by night. Driving left side was an experience to. Then you really have a blind spot. Are you trucking to?

[@jamesstepp9982]

with your tank sealed,it'll still build pressure,which will make it blow every last drop of fuel out through the crack. Try loosening the cap so it can vent and it'll stop dripping.

[@captgary278]

Amarillo and you didn't stop at the Big Texan? My 13 year old son tried to get the free giant steak, got to the last bite and couldnt do it! The mobile mechanic should have drilled a small hole in the tank to drain it completely. Wouldn't interfere with repairing it as gotta be welded anyhow, or JB Weld for quick fix. Have you ever been hassled by some of the seedier truckers?

Was out in the Sinia desert Egypt waddy driving in a group of Chevy Blazers, Land Rovers and an Austin car!!!! The guy in the car hit a rock and tore a hole in his engine sump. Someone produced a bar of soap and worked that into the tear. I owed the car through the Suez tunnel only because we didn't want him breaking down in there. He got back to Cairo safe and sound, when I saw him two weeks later he was still driving around with the soap plug. Don't know if soap would work with diesel but its worth a try. Keep trucking BS

[@SK22000]

I had a Chevy Malibu when I lived in SD, and. When I stopped at TA to fill up it leaked dexo coolant all over the place. There was no place in Barstow who would help replace the water pump, it was closed for the weekend and if it was open they were only truck repair shops. We had to keep goin on to Las Vegas (with the heat blasting to keep it from overheating) and I dropped it off at a Hyundai repair shop. Sadly had to use my gambling money to repair my car, but I put a $5 in a 25 cent slot and won $350 so that was good

[@johnlambert5732]

I've operated Vovlo trucks here in the UK for years and here the back up service is excellent. Volvo service in the USA seems to suck. Here in the UK volvo have brilliant back up and if you're broken down they usually get you going real quick. They are pretty expensive though.

[@MrGerritStok]

Just watched your video ""The 7'th injector"" from a year ago, in which you told us the money you could have missed if you had to give up that load to Georgia from Dallas. That's a fair price per mile. Not bad at all. Right?! (sorry for my bad english)

[@rickjohnson1632]

you could get a stainless or high pressure hose made by a company that makes them. we use to have a company that would come out to a job site and make new hoses up for our machines like a Bob cat that would blow a hydraulic hose. you would probably never have that problem again. let Volvo pound sand. just get one made up.

[@iivaridark6850]

Yes, just take the original to a hydraulic hose/tool shop they might do a proper one that lasts the rest of your career from high quality materials - they could easily make it a tad shorter or longer if need be, too.

[@rickjohnson1632]

As a friend of mine from the UK always says " easy peesy "

[@leebarnes655]

The molded in curve can't be done with hydraulic hose though and it's not necessary to go overboard that far. It's already fixed is what I'm getting at. Volvo can't keep them in stock because the demand for that hose made of crap in the first place is of the charts. We already knows what happens to that Volvo hose so why ask for a second punch in the face? Jack's only error was in not getting two, one for the fix and the second for the road just in case. Molded heater hoses are not rocket surgery.

[@rickjohnson1632]

Lee Barnes my examples of hoses that could be used as a alternative was a bad choice of words. I knew I would probably get a negative response , oh well my bad. however , as you correctly stated the molded hose isn't rocket science . I have been driving big trucks and have been standing at parts counters for big trucks for over 25 years . I can assure you if push came to shove I would come up with a alternative remedy for that heater hose , keeping it as simple as possible but making sure I would not have to be bothered with it again. loosing coolants on a semi is never fun or cheap. actually it sucks. I'm sure there is a simple fix other than Volvo. perhaps at a hose service. in any event, I understand your argument.

[@tjb4030]

why fuel gauge say empty? are semi trucks like the pickup trucks that have 2 tanks the gauge switches from tank to tank when you flip the switch. do you switch tanks manually is what I'm tryen to say?

[@TheMatt74901]

TJB yes most trucks have 2 tanks. only 1 of them has a gauge. there is a valve that is supposed to keep the fuel equal in both tanks. sometimes the valve goes bad and stops pumping fuel to the other tank that's when the gauge will give you a false reading. or the valve will stick open and pump too much fuel to the other tank, which will overflow out on the ground. I have had that happen a couple times.....
