How much fuel does an oil tanker use to transport oil?
According to the CTF (Commercial Tankership Federation), the average hourly fuel consumption of a fully laden, large scale tanker ranges between 12,000 to 37,000 Litres (pre - refinement filtering). This is only a fraction of the carrying capacity of the tanker, and is also significantly less than other modes of transport equivalent fuel including train and road freight.

Why is the body of an oil tanker connected with a metal wire at the ground?
As fuel is pumped from the tanker car to a reservoir, charge can quickly build up as the fluid flows through the hoses. This static charge can create sparks capable of igniting the fuel. By connecting the body of the tanker car to the ground, the static charge can be transferred to the ground. A metal wire is used since metals are conductive and allow charge to flow through them.
