- Do you want to carry gasoline, diesel, ethanol, or aviation fuel?
- How many compartments do you want—2, 3, 4, or 5?
- Where will you drive—urban, rural, on-road, or off-road?
- How many stops? How many customers?

What is Your Fuel Tank Made Of?
Tank Material is very important. There are three main types:
- Aluminum – Most popular! Light, strong, and does not get rusty. Most fuel trucks in North America use this.
- Steel – Heavy and strong. Sometimes you need this for special fuels or hazardous material.
- Stainless Steel – Best for very special fuels or chemicals.
Baffles inside the tank keep fuel from moving too much. Shapes like elliptical ou round tanks change how stable and safe your trip is.
Bottom loading keeps drivers on the ground and is safer. Top loading may be found on older trucks.
Chassis and Drivetrain: The Foundation
Will you pick a trusted truck chassis et des compartiments moteur? How about the right axle configuration—like 4×2, 6×4, or even 8×4? These choices matter. They decide how much you carry, how easy you turn, and if you follow local laws.
Suspension, braking system, tires, et wheelbase also affect safety and comfort. Big loads need big support.
Safety First: Protect Your Business and People

Important safety features:

- Spill containment
- Static grounding system

- Protection anti-déversement
You also need regular testing—like hydrostatic testing, meter calibration, and inspections.
Pumping, Metering, and Delivery
A good fuel truck pump makes loading and unloading fast. Will you pick centrifugal ou positive displacement pumps? You also need the right meter to know how much you sell. It must be exact for billing.
- Long hose reels help drivers reach far.
- Automatic or manual hoses? Pick what’s best for you.
Extra Features for Extra Value
