Function, classification, and production process description of oil tank trucks
An oil tank truck is a special oil transportation vehicle equipped with a tank-like container. It is mainly used for the transportation and storage of liquid chemicals such as gasoline, diesel, crude oil, lubricating oil, coal tar, and edible oil. A gear oil pump can be installed on the vehicle. Power is taken from the main vehicle engine to realize the functions of pumping in and pumping out. After being divided into compartments, it can realize the functions of separating and discharging various oils.
A refueling truck is composed of a power take-off, a transmission shaft, a gear oil pump, a tank body, and a pipe network system. The pipe network system is composed of an oil pump, a three-way four-position ball valve, a two-way ball valve, a filter screen, and pipelines. In addition, a vehicle-mounted fuel dispenser can be installed on the refueling truck to realize metering refueling by liters or by amount. Additionally, a flow meter can be optionally installed and equipped with a refueling reel and a refueling gun to become a mobile refueling truck – a “mobile gas station.”
According to user requirements, a gear pump, a centrifugal pump, a heavy oil pump, and a stainless steel pump can be installed on the refueling truck. Heating pipes and insulation layers can be added. The tank body has semi-circular tanks and square tanks.
Classification of oil tank trucks
According to tank size, oil tank trucks are divided into: small oil tank trucks, medium oil tank trucks, large oil tank trucks, and semi-trailer oil tank trucks.
According to chassis types, oil tank trucks are divided into Dongfeng oil tank trucks, FAW oil tank trucks, Foton Auman oil tank trucks, Foton Times oil tank trucks, Foton Aoling oil tank trucks, Jiangling oil tank trucks, JAC oil tank trucks, Shaanxi Automobile oil tank trucks, and Sinotruk oil tank trucks.

Tank body production description
The tank body is made of 4mm or 5mm carbon steel plate and is manufactured by butt welding process according to national oil tank truck production standards. The shape is divided into oval or square tanks.
Multiple anti-wave baffles are installed inside the tank. High-pressure gas leak detection is used to make the tank body have the characteristics of high strength, stable center of gravity, and safe and stable transportation of vehicles.
Various alcohol, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and salt liquid chemical tank trucks are made of imported stainless steel from South Korea (thickness of 4mm – 5mm) or plastic tanks (polypropylene) (thickness of 12mm – 22mm).
