How many litres of fuel does a petrol tanker hold?

Question

the size typically used to deliver to forecourts

Answer 1

In the United States, we typically ship about 9000 gallons (34,000 litres) per shipment.  This is primarily a function of roadway weight limitations more t han volume constraints.  There are a few areas where we are allowed to haul almost 12,000 (45K L) gallons and others where we are limited to about 7500 gallons (28K L).  The lower limits are primarily in larger cities where bridges and older roads limit how much the trucks can weigh.

Diesel volumes are lower because of diesel's higher weight per gallon.  

I'm pretty sure in our company, our UK tankers have similar limits on weight, so these are a good guide.

To address John Paul's comment about midgrade, it depends on the type of pump at the station.  Blending dispensers can mix at the pump, but traditional dispensers don't and midgrade is blended at the loading rack.

Answer 2

30 000 litres..

Answer 3

Many times they are divided into three seperate tanks premuim petrol regular petrol and diesel. Mid grade fuel is mixed at the fuel pump at the station. I would suspect 6,000 gallons or 22,706 liters

Answer 4

Answer 5

25-33k litres, or around 30,000  thousand pounds worth!

Answer 6

25,000 litres or thereabouts but there are smaller ones and larger one,s

Answer 7

The exact capacity depends on the trailer design, but usually between 28,000 and 37,000 litres.

Answer 8

depends on the size of the tanker there are different sizes

Answer 9

Circa 40,000 litres.  Tanker capacity usually subdivided so that it can carry a mixture of different fuel types.
