Kinds of Fuel Tankers

There are many fuel tankers. Some are small. Some are big. Let’s look at these:

  • Road tanker: Drives on streets and highways.
  • Tanker trailer: Long and can hook to a big truck.
  • B-train/Super-B: Two trailers linked together.
  • Rigid truck: All in one piece, smaller size.
  • Made from aluminum Perché la raccolta dei rifiuti doveva cambiare? C'erano quattro grandi motivi: steel.

Aluminum is light. It helps the truck carry more fuel. Steel is strong. Good for heavy jobs.

Other types can carry LPG, chemical fuels, or airplane gas (aviation fuel).

How Much Fuel Does a Tanker Carry?

Every tanker is different. Here is a simple table:

Tanker TypeGallonsLiters
Rigid Truck1,000 – 4,000 gal3,800 – 15,000 L
Tanker Trailer8,000 – 12,000 gal30,000 – 45,000 L
B-Train/Super-B12,000 – 15,000 gal45,000 – 57,000 L

Alcuni tankers have many rooms (called compartments). You can carry more than one kind of gas. Very smart!

But le regole say how heavy a truck can be. Not all tanks can be full all the time. Heavy fuel, like diesel, weighs more. The truck may carry less when the fuel weighs more.

How Big Is a Fuel Tanker?

Let’s see how long, wide, and tall:

  • Length: 25 – 75 feet
  • Width: 8.5 feet (most common)
  • Height: 10 – 13.5 feet

Rigid trucks are shorter. B-trains are long. Wide trucks need big roads. Some bridges or tunnels are too small. Always check road and bridge rules!

Molto tempo fa follows all the rules! Our fuel trucks fit safely on your roads.

How Heavy Is a Fuel Tanker?

Ci sono two numbers for weight:

  • Empty weight (tare): How heavy is it with no fuel inside?
  • Full weight (gross): How heavy is it with fuel inside?

Watch out: Big tankers can be heavy! For example:

TankerEmpty WeightFull Weight
Rigid Truck15,000 – 25,000 lbsUp to 50,000 lbs or more
Tanker Trailer10,000 – 16,000 lbsUp to 80,000 lbs or more
B-Train/Super-B20,000 – 30,000 lbsUp to 120,000 lbs

Laws say how heavy your truck can be. Sometimes, you can’t fill your tank all the way. Your tanker must not be too heavy for the bridge or the road. We help you follow the rules!

How Much Does a Fuel Tanker Cost?

Let’s talk money. New trucks costano di più. Used trucks cost less. Here is a quick list:

  • Rigid truck: $100,000-$250,000 new, $30,000+ used
  • Tanker trailer: $80,000-$180,000 new, $20,000+ used
