![]() "Big John" wrote Most tankers have multiple tanks. For example a 8000 gallon tank truck could have four 2000 gallon tanks. This lets them deliver smaller amounts of gas to the small Stop & Go type stores that don't want to invest the dollars in a full load all at one time. The multiple tanker layout is also a safety feature so that if one tank starts a leak only part of the load will get out (small possible fire and clean up and less money lost). Also it lets the tanker carry different grades of gas (reg, super, extra $ super) on one delivery to a station. Also, it is VERY important to have dividers in a large tanker, so when you are putzing about with a third of a load, that you don't have the whole load shift to the front at one time, or back, or whatever. -- Jim in NC |
