2-49. OPERATING TRUCK IN DESERT ENVIRONMENT.
NOTE
FM 90-3 contains detailed instructions for living and
working in the desert.
(1)
Principles for operating in extreme heat and extreme dust, sand or mud
apply to desert environment (Para 2-46 through 2-48).
(2)
Temperatures may change as much as 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) between

care should be taken when filling fuel tank and fluid reservoirs to prevent
overflow when temperatures change.
