Fuel tanker trailers have the primary role of carrying liquid petroleum products and transporting them from the place of production to the place where they are needed. Through their structure and material properties, they are able to withstand the weight and pressure of liquid petroleum products and ensure that they do not leak during transport. They are also able to effectively isolate the liquid petroleum product from the outside environment, ensuring the quality and safety of the product.

The Importance Of Fuel Tank Trailer Safety Features
The nature of hazardous chemicals determines the severity of accidents and the extent of damage. Explosive substances are susceptible to explosions when subjected to impact or heat; leakage of toxic or corrosive hazardous chemicals may lead directly to hazardous chemical accidents and environmental pollution. Therefore, fuel tanker trailers require robust safety equipment to mitigate these risks.
Basic Safety Equipment For Fuel Tank Trailers
Subsea Valve: Installed at the bottom of the tanker body of the tank trailers, also called emergency shut-off valve. The submarine valve produced by our company has upgraded the hydraulic transmission method, which is smoother and safer compared with pneumatic. Meet the requirements of the relevant standards to ensure that there is no liquid leakage after emergency cut-off.
Anti-spill Valve: It is one of the more important safety facilities in tanker trucks, which can effectively prevent tanker trucks from rollover, collision and other situations that lead to oil leakage accidents during the journey. The main function of the anti-overflow valve is to cut off the oil circuit in time to avoid oil leakage when abnormal situation occurs.
Built-in Breathing Valve: It will automatically exhaust or inhale under a certain pressure difference to adjust the pressure difference between inside and outside of the tank, and it has the function of dumping overflow prevention to prevent the liquid from spilling out when the car is tipped over, so that fuel tanker trailers are safe and reliable in the process of transport.
The Material Of Fuel Tanker Trailers
Fuel tanker trailers have 2 kinds of tank materials: one is carbon steel and the other is aluminium alloy.
Carbon steel is made of Q235 material, which is usually used for fuel tanker, aircraft fuel tanker, semi-trailer fuel tanker, liquid supply tanker. Carbon steel has high density, corrosion resistance and long service life.
Aluminium alloy material has a light weight, light weight of the vehicle, reduce the wear and tear of the tyres, corrosion resistance and high service life; and vehicles in the end of the tank has a good recycling value, aluminium alloy material ductility is good, through the deformation of the collision can be absorbed by the energy generated.

Choosing The Right Fuel Tanker Trailer
Fuel tanker trailers belong to dangerous goods transport vehicles, and their quality is directly related to safe transport, so purchasing fuel tanker trailers is crucial. Before buying, the first thing to consider is the loading capacity and the brand of accessories used.
The after-sales service of a fuel tanker trailer is also one of the basic factors to consider when using one. Excellent after-sales service will save you worries. When buying, you should try your best to compare three different suppliers.

Regular Maintenance and Inspection Fuel Tanker Trailers
During the transport of fuel tanker trailers, the condition of the vehicle itself is important. To ensure the safe transport of fuel tanker trailers, drivers need to regularly maintain and check the condition of the vehicle, especially the explosion-proof equipment of the tanker trailers. At the same time, drivers also need to carefully check the airtightness of the vehicle to ensure that fuel tanker trailers are well sealed to avoid oil leakage. This ensures that all safety features are functioning properly, thus extending the service life of the fuel tanker trailers.
Summary
Fuel tanker trailer is a hazardous materials storage facility, the safety of which is vital to production and the safeguarding of human life. In order to ensure the efficient operation and safety of the fuel tanker trailer, it is necessary to install some relevant monitoring equipment to monitor the temperature, liquid level, safety status, and other parameters inside the tank.
