Anti-spill sensor
When we load in liquid fuel, we can’t detect how much has been added every moment, at this time, we need to use the overflow prevention sensor, when it reaches the specified height, the alarm will sound.
Oil and gas recovery valve: When we load and unload, we will definitely use the oil and gas recovery valve, which can recover the excess volatile oil and gas, not only to reduce waste but also to ensure safety.
Safety valve
An important component of the manhole cover is the safety valve. The valve is used to automatically regulate the internal pressure of the tank to ensure the safety of the tank and also to reduce the volatilization of oil.
A bit of oil tank is having more than one compartment, there are breathing valves between them, the body of the breathing valve is made of nickel-cadmium stainless steel, the tank components are made of stainless steel to ensure that they will not rust.
Subsea valve
The subsea valve is usually installed at the bottom of the tank, usually, its role is in diesel tanker trailer after an accident, in order to prevent the transport of liquid fuel leakage, resulting in greater economic losses, once the accident, the subsea valve will automatically cut off the pipeline within 3 seconds to ensure the safety of the transported goods.
Manhole cover
The manhole cover is specially designed, and it has many functions, which can guarantee the safety of the gasoline tanker trailers to a certain extent.
Tank body of fuel tanker trailer:

How do I choose fuel tanker trailers?
1. Material to be transported: we generally use fuel tank trailers to haul gasoline, oil, petrol, or other goods. We need first to determine whether the fuel tanker can do our job. You can tell us the goods you need to transport. We will provide you with professional advice.
Tank thickness has a huge impact on fuel tanker trailers, we need to use 5mm or 6mm high strength steel, especially when transporting large amounts of diesel / gasoline over long distances, the thickness of the tank is very important.
2. Local laws and regulations: whether the local country has a weight limit or a weight limit, we can consider using some fuel tanker with smaller tonnage.
3. Roads: How are the streets in your country? Many inexperienced friends may not know that if the country road conditions are not very good, we need to adjust some configurations to ensure that the fuel tanker trailer can work better. In this regard, PANDA Mech does a good job and can always provide some professional advice.

Maintenance
Interior Cleaning
Tanker interior cleaning is essential; transporting fuel from one area to another and facing different climates may cause damage to your vehicle. With regular cleaning, we can be tanker truck life longer.
Gasket Cleaning
The inspection hole gasket is where dirt and grime can build upon the tank trailer. If you don’t remove the residue, you will run into problems sooner or later. For example, you could end up cross-contaminating fluids or having leaks. If you are hauling only one type of fluid, do this every six months. If you change items to be transported, clean them before each product change.
Tire Inspection
Petrol tank trailers need to be low rolling resistance tires and a tire pressure system. All tires should be fitted with a tire pressure monitoring system or an automatic tire inflation system to ensure they are ready to withstand all the weight of the load and all the challenges of the road. You must also maintain your tires to avoid rollovers. If your tires don’t have enough tread, they won’t be able to maintain proper traction on the road, so pay attention to the impression as well.
Bolts are checked regularly
You may have many bolts on your gasoline tanker trailer. These must be properly maintained because they play an essential role in holding things together. You don’t want to end up in a situation where things start falling apart on the road! Check the shock absorber bolts, spring U-bolts, and slewing ring bolts. All of these should be tightly secured in place to maintain the vehicle’s integrity. If they are loose, they should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Valve Inspection
You have hydraulic valves, safety valves, vacuum valves, and pressure valves in your tanker trailer, they are iman essential for the tanker semi-trailer, and sometimes when you are in very cold temperatures, these valves tend to freeze and then fail. To ensure this doesn’t happen, each valve should be properly lubricated.
Tank Repair
We should regularly check the tank for leaks, and if you find small holes, we should fill them before use. Fuel tank trailer After using it for a while, we should check the body for any bends or deformations, as these may cause cracks to appear in the future. We should also polish the fuel tank truck body to prevent rusting.
How to clean a stainless steel tanker?
Step 1: Apply a low pH (acid) detergent to the vehicle surface using a Foam Maxx foamer
When applying the chemical, foam it on from the bottom of the vehicle to the top of the vehicle
Step 2: Apply a high pH (alkaline) detergent directly on top of the low pH (acid) detergent)
Step 3: Allow for a short dwell time of 30-45 seconds
Do not allow the chemical to dry on the surface
Step 4: Use warm water (90°F – 100°F) for your high-pressure rinse and rinse the vehicle section from top to bottom
Maintain your high-pressure nozzle within 18 inches of the surface and a spray angle of 15° – 45°
How to polish stainless tanker trailer
Step 1: Clean the aluminum and metal parts of the truck with a damp rag to remove all the dirt and dust that has built up from driving. Spray a metal cleaner on the parts if need be to remove any deposits. You want both your stainless steel and aluminum components to be completely clean before you polish them.
Step 2: Dry the truck components thoroughly with a dry rag. Water can interfere with the polish so you want the truck to be dry.
Step 3: Apply aluminum polish to a soft rag and work it into the fabric. Rub the rag over the aluminum parts of the semi-truck. The rag will likely turn black even though you just cleaned the aluminum, but this is normal.
Step 4: Use another dry rag to buff the aluminum and remove any remaining traces of polish. Repeat adding polish and buffing as necessary.
Step 5: Apply steel polish to a rag or pour flour on the steel itself. Flour works very well as a stainless steel polishing agent.
Step 6: Rub polish or the flour into the metal vigorously and then buff it with a dry rag.

What should be paid attention to when driving a fuel tanker trailer:
- 1. check the working condition of each instrument dashboard;
- 2. check whether the steering system is working properly;
- 3. check whether the brakes work properly;
- 4. check whether the engine, chassis, and oil tank body have abnormal noise and abnormal odor;
- 5. during parking time, check the following: touch the front and rear wheel brake drums for overheating by hand, check the tightening of the tires and nuts, remove the inclusions in the tire pattern, and check for oil leakage, water leakage, or air leakage, check the condition of leaf springs, check whether the drive shaft bolts are loose, check the appearance of the tanker body and the pipe network system of the fuel tanker trailer.
Fuel tank trailer precautions:
- 1. it is not allowed to pour gasoline into the carburetor port when the engine is running or starting. Add gasoline to the carburetor to increase the concentration of the gas mixture in the cylinder. Although it is beneficial to start when the oil does not enter the cylinder, it will not help the failure caused by other reasons, and it may also cause fire, burn people and vehicles, etc.
- 2. when maintaining the gasoline filter, it is not recommended to burn the filter core with gasoline. Many people like to do this to remove impurities on the filter element when maintaining the gasoline filter. It is easy to fire, and at the same time it has an impact on the service life of the filter element.
- 3. in the oil depot, it is not allowed to check the battery by short-circuit and fire. In small oil depots with poor ventilation, tires, batteries, tarpaulins and other equipment are often placed. There is gasoline spilled on the ground. The sparks generated during the fire are likely to ignite the oil molecules in the air.
- 4. the chain of the fuel tanker trailer is not allowed to be wound on the girder. Fuel oil, like other substances, also generates static electricity when it rubs against another object. This may ignite the fuel and cause a fire. Therefore, a ground wire should be installed on the oil depot, and a grounded iron chain should also be installed on the fuel tanker trailer to prevent static sparks inside the oil tank. It should be on the ground, and not less than 50 cm.
- 5. It is strictly prohibited to refuel under the high-voltage wire.
- 6. Sometimes the spark plug will have carbon deposition. When it is serious, the cylinder will not work properly. In order to make the cylinder operate normally, someone will adopt the method leaving gap of 3mm to 4mm between the spark plug and the high voltage line, which is forbidden to do frequently. It can increase the energy of spark plug, but it can easily fall off. If there is dripping gasoline on the cylinder, it is very easy to cause fire. Therefore it is only a temporary remedy. The correct treatment should be to clean and maintain the spark plug in time.
- 7. no dripping is allowed in the oil system. If there is a leak in the oil line of the chassis, and it is encountering a late ignition point and a lean mixture point, the exhaust pipe will catch fire due to the slow combustion, and the temperature of the vehicle body will rise more than ten times the ignition point of gasoline vapor(the flash point is 28℃). If the leaked oil is ignited, it is easy to cause fire and cause the scrap of the vehicle. If the carburetor part leaks on the cylinder head, the spark plug high voltage spark leakage may also cause a fire.
How to extend the service life of fuel tanker trailer
First: the longer the time using the fuel tanker trailer, the less the maintenance
When the new vehicle is used, the maintenance frequency is very high. After the vehicle has been used for a long time, less and less attention is paid to vehicle’s maintenance. In fact, the frequency of vehicle maintenance should be proportional to the age of the vehicle. The longer the car is used and the greater the mileage, the more frequent maintenance should be.
Ignition system failure analysis
- 1. When checking the ignition system circuit, do not check the connection of the circuit by scraping. This method is easily to damage the electronic components. A multimeter should be used to check and judge the connection of the circuit.
- 2. When the engine is started and working, do not touch the ignition coil high-voltage line and distributors to avoid electric shock.
- 3. When disassembling the battery, you must confirm that the ignition switch and all other electrical equipment and their switches are turned off.
- 4. When installing the battery, be sure to distinguish the positive and negative electrodes. Do not connect it incorrectly. The connection between the battery polarity and the clamp must be firm, otherwise it will easily damage the electronic equipment.
- 5. When conducting high-pressure test, it is best to use insulated rubber clips to hold high-voltage line for the test. Direct contact with the high-voltage line by hand is easy to cause electric shock. Another way to avoid electric shock is to insert the high-voltage wire into a spare spark plug and observe whether there is a flashover from the spark plug electrode gap.
- 6. When the ignition switch is on, do not connect or disconnect the circuit to avoid burning the electronic devices in the controller.
