It is widely used in the transportation of petroleum, gasoline and its derivatives. A fuel tank truck is a kind of special vehicle. In China, special-purpose vehicles refer to “vehicles with special equipment and special functions that are used to undertake special transport tasks or special operations and other special purposes”, and are in compliance with national safety production regulations. In short, oil tank trucks are divided into two types: transport oil tankers and add fuel tankers according to different functions.

Different design and capacity

Everyone needs to transport different liquids, and the material of the oil tank will be different. It is important to look at the design that comes with different types of tank trailers.

Fuel tank trailers have different capacities ranging from 20cbm, 30cbm, 40cbm, 50cbm, 70cbm. Each type uses a different number of axes, for example 2, 3, 4 axle.

A carbon steel tank trailer is a low-cost construction and most importantly, it is easy to process. You can also choose stainless steel and aluminum alloy tank trailers. However, the cost of these two options will be high.

Cooking oil. This is usually transported in an aluminum alloy tank trailer because it can avoid contaminating liquids. The trailer made of aluminum is also of a big advantage when it comes to clean-out. Again, the body is completely encapsulated using insulation materials that help in minimizing the loss of heat. More than that, it is a lightweight construction offering effective volume capabilities unlike steel trailer constructions that tend to be somehow heavy.

(3) Check the oil tank body, pipe network, valves, etc. for oil leakage or oil leakage before leaving the fuel tanker, whether the upper cover is closed as required, the amount of lubricating oil, fuel oil, cooling water, hand and foot brakes, steering device , Instruments, lights, tire pressure, tire nuts, etc.
