Sino Howo 6x4 oil Tank Truck: 

1. Engineering & Design Philosophy: Built for Harsh Environments

• Structural Integrity: The vehicle is built to withstand extreme operating conditions, from rough rural roads and mountain passes to long-haul highway routes, while maintaining zero-leakage performance for flammable and volatile cargo.

• Safety-Centric Design: Every component is engineered to mitigate the risks associated with transporting explosive materials, from static electricity buildup to rollover accidents and over-pressurization.

• Operational Efficiency: The truck balances payload capacity, fuel economy, and maintenance accessibility to minimize total cost of ownership (TCO) for fleet operators.

• Regulatory Compliance: The entire vehicle, from the chassis to the tanker body, meets stringent international standards for hazardous goods transport, including ADR (European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road), GB 18564 (Chinese national standard for tank trucks), and local market-specific regulations.

The 20 Cubic Meter Tanker Body: Precision Engineering for Safe Liquid Transport

Tanker Body Design & Materials

• Total Capacity: 20 cubic meters (20,000 liters), optimized for fuel transport applications.

• Material Options:

• Carbon Steel (Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel): 5-6mm thick, cost-effective, durable, and widely used for diesel and heavy oil transport.

• Aluminum Alloy (5083 marine-grade aluminum): Lightweight (reducing curb weight by up to 30%), corrosion-resistant, ideal for gasoline and aviation fuel, and compliant with ADR standards for hazardous goods.

• Structural Design:

• Multi-compartment construction (2 to 5 compartments optional) to transport different types of fuel simultaneously, preventing cross-contamination.

• Integrated anti-wave baffles inside each compartment to reduce liquid sloshing during acceleration, braking, and cornering, improving vehicle stability and reducing stress on the tank body.

• Precision welding technology (automatic argon arc welding) with full penetration welds, followed by 100% pressure testing (hydrostatic and pneumatic leak tests) to ensure zero leakage.

• Surface Treatment: Sandblasted and coated with anti-corrosion primer and topcoat, resistant to weathering, rust, and chemical attack. The iconic orange safety stripe on the tank body enhances visibility and marks it as a hazardous goods vehicle.

Core Tanker Systems & Accessories

1. Loading/Unloading System

• High-efficiency self-priming gear pump or centrifugal pump, powered by the chassis PTO. The pump can achieve both pump-in (loading) and pump-out (unloading) functions, with a flow rate of 300-600 liters per minute depending on the pump model.

• Optional flow meter (mechanical or electronic) for accurate metering of fuel delivery, with zero-reset function for inventory tracking.

• 6-meter reinforced rubber or stainless steel hoses with quick-connect couplings, plus a fuel dispensing nozzle for controlled unloading.

2. Safety Systems (Critical for Hazardous Cargo)

• Emergency Shut-Off Valve (Subsea Valve): Installed at the bottom of the tank, automatically closing in case of a rollover or hose rupture to prevent catastrophic fuel leakage.

• Overfill Prevention System: Equipped with an anti-overfill probe and alarm to stop loading when the tank reaches full capacity, eliminating spillage risks.

• Static Electricity Control: Static grounding reel with 5-meter cable to discharge static buildup, plus conductive paint on the tank body to prevent sparking.

• Pressure Relief & Ventilation: Each tank compartment has a breather valve (pressure/vacuum relief valve) to regulate internal pressure, preventing tank deformation due to temperature changes.

• Fire Safety Equipment: Two 8kg dry powder fire extinguishers mounted on the chassis, plus a fire-retardant engine cover and exhaust spark arrester.

• Visibility & Warning: High-visibility reflective strips, hazardous goods warning signs, and LED marker lights to meet road safety regulations.

3. Access & Operational Features

• Stainless steel manhole covers with locking mechanisms for easy inspection and maintenance.

• Safety access ladder and anti-slip platform on the top of the tank, with handrails for operator safety during loading/unloading.

• Toolbox and storage compartments mounted on the chassis for carrying maintenance tools, spare parts, and safety equipment.

1. High Reliability

2. Superior Safety

3. Efficient & Customizable

4. Low Maintenance Cost

5. Application Scenarios

• Petroleum product logistics (gas station fuel delivery, oilfield crude oil transport)

• Mobile refueling stations (construction sites, airports, mining areas)

• Transportation of corrosive liquids (lubricants, coal tar) and non-toxic liquids (edible oil, with food-grade tank modification)

Product Highlights: The tank is made of Q235 steel, with 5mm thick end caps, 5mm thick tank body, and 3mm thick baffles. It features an inlet/outlet pump system, four European standard tank openings, four bottom valves, a digital flow meter (with US gallon printing function and English receipt printing), a fuel nozzle, a 25-meter reel hose, a top grab handle, a non-slip walkway, two fire extinguishers, a combination switch, a toolbox, and a dipstick. Modifications include two hazard lights on the cab roof, side lights with protective covers, increased rear protection, and a drain port. The entire vehicle undergoes high-end anti-corrosion waxing treatment, comes with a full set of spare parts, and includes a customized product manual. All vehicles feature a custom, unmarked design and are painted in a solid color.
