: Fuel / Oil Pickup....

I have a very steep driveway. Where are the fuel / oil pickups? If I am low on fuel, is it better for me park with the truck pointing uphill or down?

What about oil? Where is the pickup for that? Is it possible the engine (or parts of the engine) can be starved for oil because of the angle of the truck?

How severe does the angle need to be before either of these are issues?

Thanks in advance for any help! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rockon.gif

I don't know where the fuel pickup is but the oil is in the rear. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/fnsblum2004/detail?.dir=7b47&.dnm=671e.jpg&.src=ph
I have been up and down some pretty steep hills in my 4X4. Never skipped a beat. Later! Frank
