How many liters does fuel tank truck trailer hold

What are tanker trucks and tanker trailers?

Tank truck trailers, divided into tank trucks and tank trailers, are trailers designed to transport liquids or gases on roads. They can transport the same liquid and fuel. Tank trucks are mainly used for short distances and carry less liquid at a time, up to 30,000 liters. Tank trailers are mainly used for long-distance transportation. There is usually more liquid loading, generally between 30 and 60KL, and the transport unit is calculated in gallons or liters. How many liters or gallons can a tanker hold?

The largest tank trucks can reach 30,000 liters, 8 x 4, and about 7,925 gallons, while the smallest tank trucks may have a capacity of only a few hundred gallons.

Tankers typically used for urban transportation can carry 30,000 liters (about 7,925 gallons of diesel) or less.

How many liters and gallons can a tank trailer hold?

A tanker can hold 30,000-60,000 liters, or 7,925-15,850 gallons.

The semi-trailer is a tank trailer configuration with a maximum loading capacity and a maximum loading capacity of 15,850 gallons (60,000 liters).

The largest tank trailer, usually reserved for long-distance hauls, can hold 60,000 liters of fuel (approximately 15,850 gallons of fuel) for long-distance hauls of materials.

Can tank trailers transport different liquids at the same time?

Tank trailers can be used to transport many different liquids simultaneously because, regardless of the total capacity of the tank trailer, each tank trailer has compartments and different compartments can be loaded with different liquids, allowing different types and parts to be transported simultaneously. For liquids, it should be noted that these compartments tend to have different capacities, which saves costs and improves efficiency.

Security measures

The tank trailer can be insulated or uninsulated, pressurized or unpressurized, and can transport one liquid at the same time, or many liquids at the same time (separated through the middle and inside); Because the center of gravity is high, and the tank liquid is always swaying in the process of transportation, so it is easier to roll over, and in the process of transportation will generate static electricity, and static electricity may cause the tank explosion, so for the safety of transportation of the tank, it is generally connected to the bottom of the car to transfer the static electricity to the ground.

The application

In general, if it is a long distance, we will use the tanker, if it is a short distance, we will use fuel, they transport liquid is the same, the diesel oil, gasoline, kerosene, water, oil, oil, crude oil, lubricating oil and so on, in the transport of the different types of fluids, the tank truck trailer and oil tank truck at the request of the material configuration is different.

classification

In the material classification, the tanker truck and tanker truck trailer materials are aluminum alloy, carbon steel and stainless steel. Carbon steel is the most commonly used material. Generally used to transport diesel, gasoline, kerosene, heavy oil, coal tar and other liquid substances and alcohol, aldehyde, benzene, ether and other non-petroleum products. The transportation of aluminum alloy tank trailers and aluminum alloy tank trucks and carbon steel, can also be used to transport some other materials, such as water, cooking oil, palm oil, stainless steel tank trucks and stainless steel tank trailers, generally can be used for food oil, water, palm oil, cooking oil and other liquids that can be used for food.

From the point of view of other classification ways, tank truck trailer can be divided into tank trailer with distributor, thermal insulation tank truck, thermal insulation tank truck, chemical tank truck, A double tank truck, spray truck, 6×4 tank truck, 8×4 tank truck, 4×2 tank truck, asphalt tank truck.

The weight of the

Many people consider weight to be a very important factor when purchasing a tank truck trailer, because aluminum alloy is the lightest and can carry about the same amount of weight as carbon steel tank truck trailers, especially in countries where weight is limited. In order to improve transportation efficiency, many people choose aluminum alloy tank truck trailers. A lot of people's second choice is a stainless steel tank truck trailer. This is because stainless steel is relatively lighter than carbon steel.

Part of the tanks

The tanks are round, oval and square.

Oil and gas recovery system

Tank trucks have an oil and gas recovery system. The main function of tank truck is to realize completely closed gas recovery in the loading and unloading process of tank truck and limit the discharge of oil and gas into the atmosphere. Oil and gas discharged from the gas station can be returned to the tanker through the channel when the tanker is unloading
