What happens if your water tank is half full?
If you’re driving down the highway with half-full water tanks, the water can be sloshing side-to-side. If you’ve got 180 L carrying capacity and the tanks are half filled… that’s like having a 90 kg person running from side to side inside your van.
What happens to fuel efficiency when you fill up half a tank?
When you have used half a tank your fuel efficiency is now roughly 8.08L/100km: the car is travelling more efficiently than it was with a full tank. Suppose that we fill up the tank and see how far we can drive until we run out of fuel.
Why does my fresh water tank take so long to fill?
It’s a pretty common complaint among RV owners — it takes forever to fill my fresh water tank and the water keeps “backing up” while filling. This was a big problem for us.

Do you have to fill the front tank first?
The rear tank automatically pumps into the front tank . If the gauge is reading 1/2 full it means that both tanks are 1/2 full. And yes they have been problematic.Some have found that you need to fill the front tank first or it throws the gauge off. Try filling both tanks. I have a 98 3500 dually. I filled both tanks and went out to plow.
Is the rear fuel tank full or full?
Rear tank doesn’t supply the front as it’s always full. When the indication of empty comes up and the truck stops there is NO fuel in the line at the fuel filter location. There is a porportioning valve switch shown on the factory manual BUT I have never found it.

What happens if your gas tank is only half full?
A very low fuel level may combine with vehicle motion to swirl any sediment out of the tank and into the fuel line, so a filter blockage is also a plausible concern. But both these concern running on the dregs, not running below half full. BTW there is a small but non-zero economy penalty for filling up early.
