Tank truck
A tank truck or tanker truck〔James Hinckley, Jon Robinson ''The big book of car culture : the armchair guide to automotive ...'' 2005 p253 "But like so many aspects of our auto culture that were once viewed with excitement, the tanker truck is now simply taken for granted. By the 1930s the gasoline tanker truck had become an important part of an oil company's image."〕 (United States usage) or petrol tanker (United Kingdom usage, both commonly shortened to tanker) is a motor vehicle designed to carry liquefied loads, dry bulk cargo or gases on roads. The largest such vehicles are similar to railroad tank cars which are also designed to carry liquefied loads. Many variants exist due to the wide variety of liquids that can be transported. Tank trucks tend to be large; they may be insulated or non-insulated; pressurized or non-pressurized; and designed for single or multiple loads (often by means of internal divisions in their tank). Some are semi-trailer trucks. They are difficult to drive due to their high center of gravity.
== Size and volume ==
Tank trucks are described by their size or volume capacity. Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from . In Australia, road trains up to three cars long (known as A-Triple tankers) carry loads in excess of 100,000 L. Longer road trains transporting liquids are also in use.
A tank truck is distinguished by its shape, usually a cylindrical tank upon the vehicle lying horizontally. Some less visible distinctions amongst tank trucks have to do with their intended use: compliance with human food regulations, refrigeration capability, acid resistance, pressurization capability, and more. The tanks themselves will almost always contain multiple compartments or baffles to prevent load movement destabilizing the vehicle.
