Application of the aluminum fuel tank trailer
Aluminum alloy is a widely used material in automobile, aircraft industrial with many obvious features and advantages. The aluminum fuel tank trailer is normally made by aluminium alloy 5083, 5182, 5454. The aluminum alloy fuel tank semi-trailer plays an important role in fuel transport. It is widely accepted by oil companies and transporters worldwide, especially for those areas which have strict control on loading weight and road regulations.
There are many advantages of aluminium fuel tanker, like less tare weight, more safety, lower operation cost, longer life span, beautiful out appearance, environmental friendly and high recycle value.
For example, a 42000L carbon steel fuel tank trailer, the weight reaches 11000~12000KGS, while an aluminum fuel tank trailer only weight 6500~7500KGS depending on different structure and specification. What's more, the light tare weight of aluminium fuel tanker consumes less fuel and less wear on tires. It will largely reduce the daily operation cost and maintenance cost. According to researches, when vehicles drive in un-load conditions, 60% of fuel consumption comes from the vehicle tare weight. To reduce single one ton on tare weight, it can save 6L fuel per 100KM. Based on a fixed vehicle gross weight, less vehicle tare weight means more loading weight. The vehicles could load more and make more money for transporters.
Aluminium fuel tanker loads highly flammable liquids like oil, fuel, diesel, so safety is the top priority item for consideration. The aluminium alloy is inflammable material and it accumulates less electrostatic. The aluminium fuel tank could conduct the electrostatic more efficiently, so decrease the possibility of fire accident.
