Fuel Tanker Truck Safety and Compartment Design

Sinotruk HOWO fuel tanker trucks with multi-compartment tanks, self-priming pumps and flow meters. 3 to 32 m³ capacity, 20 to 30 day lead time, export from China.

HOWO Fuel Tanker Trucks for Airport and Remote Site Refueling

  • 4WD Sinotruk HOWO off-road fuel trucks transport diesel, gasoline, kerosene, lubricants and alcohol on remote airfields, mining sites and construction camps where no fixed fuel infrastructure exists.
  • Tank volumes from 3 to 32 cubic meters allow the truck to carry enough fuel for a full day of operations at a remote site or a full shift of aircraft refueling.
  • Tanks are divided into multiple compartments so different fuel types can be carried on the same vehicle without cross-contamination.
  • Built on Sinotruk HOWO 4x4 and 6x4 chassis with ISUZU engines rated for 500,000 km without overhaul, these trucks operate reliably in extreme conditions.
  • Each unit includes a self-contained refueling system with oil pump, flow meter and dispensing nozzle for direct vehicle or equipment refueling.
  • Designed for operation in remote areas with no access to grid power, the truck can start and run its own dispensing system without external support.

Safety and Compartment Design for Multi Fuel Transport

  • Internal baffles in the tank reduce liquid surge during cornering and braking, improving stability on rough terrain.
  • Compartments are sealed and isolated to prevent mixing of fuels such as diesel, gasoline and kerosene during transport.
  • Each compartment has its own inlet, outlet and vent to allow independent filling and dispensing without cross-connection.
  • Tank material is carbon steel with anti-corrosion coating suitable for fuel storage and transport under harsh conditions.
  • All tanks are tested for pressure and leak tightness before delivery to meet safety standards for fuel transport.
  • The truck body is designed to withstand vibration, impact and temperature extremes common in off-road and desert environments.

Operational Features for Field Use

  • ISUZU engine meets Euro V and Euro VI emissions standards for use in all export markets including EU, Middle East and Africa.
  • Self-priming pump allows the truck to draw fuel from ground tanks or drums without external power.
  • Flow meters provide accurate fuel volume measurement for billing and inventory control at remote sites.
  • Refueling nozzle and hose reel are mounted for easy access and safe handling during operation.
  • Front and rear refueling stations allow simultaneous refueling of multiple vehicles or equipment.
  • All electrical systems are grounded and explosion-proof to reduce risk during fuel transfer operations.

Customization and Export Readiness

  • Tank colour and fleet logo can be applied at the factory at no extra cost to match customer branding.
  • Truck size options include 6900x2200x2800mm, 7200x2200x2800mm, 7500x2400x3000mm, 7600x2400x3000mm and 10000x2500x3400mm.
  • Production time is 20 to 30 days after advance payment depending on tank size and configuration.
  • Shipment options include Ro-ro, bulk ship or container from China main ports on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms.
  • 100 percent test before delivery with photos and videos sent before balance payment is made.
  • Overseas engineers provide technical training and deliver truck manuals before the vehicle is shipped.
