Why do old Fords have 2 gas tanks?
They were fitted there because they fit, only room on a tilt cab, you could fill both at the same time if at a real truck stop, a big advantage. Also fuel weights about 6.3 per gallon, so two tanks divides the weight.
How do dual fuel pumps work?
A dual fuel system relies on the heat pump to act as the air conditioner when needed, then turn around and heat the home when needed. However, a heat pump can only work well when outside temps remain above 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or so.
How do I know if I have a dual fuel system?
