A fuel management method for long term stationary truck use is provided. This method includes a truck with at least a first saddle tank or a second saddle tank integral to the truck. Each saddle tank has a fuel level sensor to measure the fuel level. A fuel trailer provides supplemental fuel, and a fuel pump downstream of the fuel trailer and upstream of the truck pressurizes the fuel from the fuel trailer. The method includes supplying fuel to local users from saddle tanks, activating the fuel pump when the fuel level of both the saddle tanks is less than a first predetermined threshold, thereby transferring fuel from the fuel trailer to the first saddle tank and the second saddle tank, deactivating the fuel pump when the fuel level of either the saddle tanks is greater than a second predetermined threshold.
