Inspect Fuel Lines

Make sure to check the fuel lines on your heavy truck regularly. Look for signs of damage or wear and tear, and replace any lines that need to be replaced. You should also check the fuel hoses for signs of cracking or wear and tear.

Check the Fuel Filter

The fuel filter plays an important role in preventing fuel leaks. Check the fuel filter regularly and replace it when necessary. Make sure to use the correct type of fuel filter for your heavy truck.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for preventing fuel leaks on your heavy truck. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for your heavy truck.
