Fuel tanker trucks deliver diesel and petrol to filling stations, farms, construction sites, mines and generator sets. Small 4x2 tankers with a pump and meter work as mobile refuelling units, while larger 6x4 and 8x4 tankers distribute fuel between depots and stations.
Tank material is the first decision. Carbon steel is economical and robust; aluminium alloy tanks are lighter, which increases the legal payload and reduces fuel consumption. Next, decide how many compartments you need to carry different products or serve several customers, and whether you need a dispensing pump, flow meter and hose reel.
Most tankers in this category are on Dongfeng, FAW and HOWO chassis, with Sinotruk and Sitrak options. Safety equipment such as bottom loading, vapour recovery and emergency shut-off valves varies by model, so confirm the specification your country requires when you request a quote.
