What is the average capacity in barrels of an oil tanker?
The average capacity of an oil tanker varies significantly based on its type. Generally, a small tanker can hold around 10,000 to 30,000 barrels, while a medium-sized tanker typically carries between 50,000 and 100,000 barrels. Larger tankers, such as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), can transport approximately 200,000 to 320,000 barrels, and the largest Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs) can hold over 400,000 barrels. Overall, the capacity of oil tankers can range widely depending on their design and purpose.
How many gallons of gas does a truck oil tanker carry?
An oil tanker would be carrying crude oil, not refined product. So the answer would be zero.
Where does the UK get their crude oil?

How many barrels of crude oil are carried in a tanker truck?
A typical tanker truck can carry between 5,000 to 11,000 gallons of crude oil, depending on its size and design. This translates to approximately 120 to 260 barrels of crude oil, as one barrel is equivalent to 42 gallons. The exact capacity may vary based on regulations and the specific configuration of the truck.
Is a tanker the safest way to transport crude oil?

This is a simple problem. Just take 34,700,000 and divide by 4 to get the answer, 8,675,000 gallons.
What are the advantages and disadvantage of tanker?
I have included a number of links. The chief advantage is it is the most economical way of transporting large volumes of oil from the area of production to refineries, which then transport the refined petroleum products to consumers. It is frequently the only practical means of transporting crude oil, in locations, where the local market is insufficient and there are no alternatives (pipeline to markets do not exist). Secondly, tankers are convenient, since they have a number of compartments, whereby they can make a number of pick-ups (liftings) and deliveries. Third, transportation by tanker is convenient since a large tanker fleet exists to transport crude oil. The disadvantages: Potential for accidents and oil spillage. Since the Exxon-Valdez accident, there has been considerable concern about tanker spills. I have included related links on tanker accidents. Note that it appears that there has been over the last 40 years, a decrease in large accidents. Some oil may accidently spill during loading. The tanker in some cases may not be the most economical means. If oil is found where the discovery can easily be tied into an existing pipeline, shipment of crude by tanker may be less economical. You can find more information in the related links.
What is the biggest oil tanker in the world?
The biggest oil tanker in the world is the Knock Nevis, formerly known as the Seawise Giant. This ultra-large crude carrier (ULCC) measures approximately 1,504 feet (458.45 meters) in length and has a deadweight tonnage of around 564,763 tons. Launched in 1979, it was used primarily for transporting crude oil until it was retired from service in 2009 and eventually scrapped in 2020. The Knock Nevis remains a significant engineering marvel in maritime history.
