If it only has a Pick-up truck type Gas Tank (18 Gal?), I would probably figure it on the very low side of 4 MPG. Which means no more than 72 miles to play it safe. Then once you fill it up again, you can judge from there.

It must have been a very local Road Tractor. I don't believe I ever heard of one without a saddle tank. You could always add one later if you wanted to.
