![]() ![]() In this case we only started with 33,100 pounds on our drive axles so we'll be at 33,200 after adding 125 gallons of fuel Calculating Fuel For The Drive Axles Then you subtract the amount going onto the steer axle from the total weight of fuel being added:ġ000 - 900 = 100 pounds of weight going onto the drive axles You multiply the number of gallons times 8 to get the total weight of fuel being added:ġ25 x 8 = 1000 pounds of total fuel weight added ![]() In this case you're adding 125 gallons of fuel. All you have to do to figure out how much weight will go on your drive axles is subtract the amount of weight going onto your steer axle from the total weight of fuel being added. Naturally, you have to be aware of the fuel weight that will be added to your drive axles so you have to make sure you won't wind up overweight on your drive axles either (34,000 pounds maximum). ![]() So for this example, here's how you would solve this step by step:įirst, here's the numbers you know for the formula:ĩ00 pounds (amount of weight available for steer axle)ĩ0 percent (percentage of fuel weight to steer axle) ![]()
