a tanker truck or a tanker truck (US use) or tanker (UK use), is a motor vehicle designed to carry a liquefied load, cargo dry or gas on the road. The vehicles like the largest are similar to railroad tank cars that are also designed to carry a liquid load. Many variants exist because of the various liquids that can be transported. Tank trucks tend to be large; they may be isolated or not isolated; pressurized or non-pressurized; and designed for single or multiple loads (often by means of internal splits in their tanks). Some semi-trailer trucks. They are difficult to drive because of their high center of gravity.

Tank trucks are depicted on their size or volume capacity. Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from 5.500 to 11.600 gallons US (20,800 to 43,900 Ã, Â ° L; 4,580-6.660Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã, Ã ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , Ã, Ã, Ã, domestic Chinese) In Australia, road trains up to four long trailers (known as the Quad tanker) carry over 120,000 L of trains that transport liquids are also used.
The tank truck is distinguished by its shape, usually a cylindrical tank on top of a vehicle that lies horizontally. Some of the less visible differences among tanker trucks should be done with intended use: compliance with human food regulations, cooling capability, acid resistance, pressure capability, and more. The tanks themselves almost always contain some compartments or baffles to prevent the movement of the load that destabilizes the vehicle.

Large general tank truck
Large tank trucks are used for example to transport gasoline to gas stations. They also carry a variety of liquid goods such as liquid sugar, molasses, milk, wine, juice, water, gasoline, diesel, and industrial chemicals.
Tank trucks are constructed of various materials depending on what products they carry. These materials include aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, and fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP).
Some tanker trucks are capable of carrying many products at once because of tank compartementalization into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or in some rare cases more tank compartments. This allows an increasing number of shipping options. These trucks are usually used to bring different gasoline classes to the service station to bring all the required products in one trip.
General small tank truck
Smaller tank trucks, with a capacity of less than 3,000 US gallons (11,000 liters, 2,500 gallons) are typically used to handle light fluid loads in local communities. A common example is a vacuum truck that is used to empty some septic tanks and then transmit the sludge that accumulates to the treatment site. The tank truck usually has a maximum capacity of 3,000 gallons (11,000 Ã, Â °; 2,500Ã, Â ° gal). They are equipped with a pump system to serve their special needs.
Another common use is to deliver fuels such as liquified petroleum gas (LPG) to households, industries and industries. This smallest truck usually carries about 1,000 gallons of US (3,800 liters L) under pressure. Typically LPG tank trucks carry up to 3499 US gallon products (usually liquid propane), on 2-axle bobtail trucks. 3500 US Galon (13,200 L; 2,900 gal) and larger requires 3 axle truck (tanker wagon). Some companies use lightweight steel to carry more gallons on one-axle trucks. In particular, one US manufacturer has built 3700 US gallon tank trucks, installing it on a single axle.
Tank trucks are also used to refuel aircraft at airports.
