Why can't oil tankers be filled to capacity?
1 Answers
Because oil tankers have a high center of gravity, driving with a full tank of oil would be extremely unstable and prone to rollover accidents. The following is relevant supplementary information: 1. Introduction to oil tankers: Also known as mobile refueling vehicles, computerized tax-controlled refueling vehicles, oil diversion tankers, oil loading vehicles, oil transport vehicles, oil hauling vehicles, petroleum transport vehicles, or edible oil transport vehicles. They are primarily used for the transportation and storage of petroleum derivatives (such as gasoline, diesel, crude oil, lubricating oil, coal tar, and other oil products). Depending on different purposes and usage environments, they can perform various refueling or oil transportation functions, including oil suction, oil pumping, multi-product oil separation, and distribution. The specialized part of an oil transport vehicle consists of components such as the tank body, power take-off, drive shaft, gear oil pump, and pipeline network system. The pipeline network system comprises an oil pump, three-way four-position ball valve, bidirectional ball valve, filter screen, and pipelines. 2. Safety precautions for oil tankers: Prevent personal static electricity; operators must wear anti-static work clothes and anti-static shoes during operation. Static grounding should not be neglected. Accidents caused by "conversion loading" should also be given sufficient attention. It is necessary to first completely remove gasoline from the tank and strictly follow operational procedures. Use equipment that meets technical specifications and safety requirements.
