If you’re renting a U-Haul truck or thinking about it for a future move, you might think, “What type of fuel does a U-Haul truck use?” Look no further; here you can find the answer to your burning question!
Type of Fuel to Use
The straight answer is unleaded gas. A common thought is that all moving trucks are diesel. However, over the years, this has changed. More and more moving companies are switching their fleets to unleaded gas. For example, U-Haul has an entire fleet of unleaded moving trucks. This is the best option to provide customers with an enjoyable moving experience.
By better understanding why companies are switching to this fuel type, we can see that gas trucks are easier to maintain and are used more than diesel trucks. The most frequently used argument is that diesel moving trucks get better MPG (miles per gallon) than unleaded trucks. Companies like U-Haul have been seeking improvements for MPG on their unleaded moving trucks to change this belief. This dedication to improving the commonly used equipment drives moving companies’ decision to use unleaded moving trucks over diesel.
So, if you are still confused about what fuel to put into your moving truck, check with a store representative, the location or the truck itself. Most moving trucks have an assortment of useful decals from front to back! Often you will be able to check around the gas cap or the gas gauge on the dashboard. A helpful decal will tell you what fuel to put into your truck rental.
Another useful resource is the company’s website. There should be specifications listed online for their equipment. Always be sure before adding fuel because you can severely damage a moving truck if the incorrect fuel is used.
Plan Ahead for Your Move
If you’re wondering what fuel a moving truck uses, you’re likely either reserving one or planning to. Get ahead with moving supplies such as boxes, tape, bubble wrap, or cushion foam! When you arrive at a center to pick up your truck, stock up on everything you need for your move. Give yourself the comfort of a stress-free move.
