42m³ Aluminum Alloy Fuel Tank Semi-Trailer Product Overview
This 42 cubic meter aluminum alloy fuel tank semi-trailer is specifically designed for the safe and efficient transport of gasoline and other light oil products. The tank is constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy 5182, with 6mm thickness throughout the shell, heads, and baffles, offering excellent corrosion resistance and significant weight reduction compared to traditional carbon steel tankers.
The vehicle features a single-compartment design with a top filling system, bottom loading and unloading, and a complete set of safety equipment including an emergency bottom valve, two European standard explosion-proof manholes, a vapor recovery system, and an overfill protection system. The semi-trailer is equipped with a 3-axle Fuwa 13T brake axle system, 8-leaf spring suspension, and 12 pieces of 12R22.5 radial tires.
This model is fully compliant with GB18564.1-2006, the Chinese national standard for “Road transport liquid dangerous goods tanker vehicles – Part 1: Technical requirements for metal atmospheric tank bodies.”
