Sewage truck wont suck crap anymore?
It just stopped working. tried to reload/restart game and computer, still wont suck crap.

I know how it works, put on hydraulic pump, then drop the hose down the crap well, but it just doesnt work. used to, but not anymore.

Just wanted to suck out a sewage well and it doesn't work either...
Can't sell any firewood either since i haven't gotten a call for it in like 2-3 ingame weeks now.

did you empty the truck with the spill valve in the back?

Ofc. Just before i left my house to drive to the costumer.

Edit: Just saved and reloaded my save. Didn't help. I also noticed that it only makes the sucking sound for a fraction of a second, while you start swearing on how much it stinks.
GUess il back this save up and start a new one until this problem is solved.

Swing by the guy's house and check if he's there. If he's standing by the entrance you're free to deliver the wood, even if he didn't call. Can't say how much time it takes for him to burn all the firewood though.

Also my truck was filled with fuel, the sewage tank was empty and everything was as it was every day before yesterday. Only the pump didn't suck anything.

Try to drop the hose inside there slowly. Little by little. When it stops sucking, drop it little more. Dont try to throw the hose inside at once. Plus if it doesnt suck, go back to truck cockpit and switch off the sucking and put it back on.

Ei auttanu millään koska se vaan bugaapi. ei oo kiinni siitä etteikö osais käyttää, nylkyttää sen sinne reikään miten tahansa niin ei toimi.

I have the same problem as you OP, I know how to do it all correctly and have made thousands of it, but this time round, it'll slurp it up for a fraction of a second and I don't get anything out of it.

Did you get a workaround in the end?

Only time I've noticed the pump not work is if it was full - the pump will stop and won't restart even if you drain the tank. You have to restart the pump. Also, if you pump a septic Tank that isn't due, it won't drop slowly, but in chunks. That's not what's happening?

No, like I said, I've done it countless times and have made thousands off the job -.-

So had I. I still had no idea what was going on the first time I tried to pump a septic that wasn't full. Started in the dark so I didn't notice that it wasn't full to the brim.
