Transferring fuel from a tanker typically involves a series of steps to ensure safety and efficiency. First, hoses are securely connected to both the tanker and the storage facility or vessel. Pumping equipment is then activated to move the fuel, while monitoring systems track flow rates and detect any leaks. Throughout the process, safety protocols are followed to prevent spills and ensure compliance with regulations.
An air tanker is an aircraft used to deliver liquids from the air, such as fuel, fire retardant, or water.
Spacecraft can be refueled in space through a variety of methods, such as docking with a refueling module, transferring fuel through fuel lines, or utilizing in-space refueling technologies. Some spacecraft are designed with the ability to receive fuel from a separate tanker spacecraft, which can transfer propellant to the target spacecraft to extend its mission duration or reach distant destinations.
In a fuel tanker specially built for that purpose.
About 20 miles.
They make a formation with some fighters and a tanker. When someone gets a little low on fuel they fly to the tanker and top off.
On a M978 HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) tanker, "PTO" stands for Power Take-Off. It refers to a mechanism that allows the vehicle's engine power to be used to drive auxiliary equipment, such as the fuel pump that transfers fuel from the tanker. The PTO system is crucial for the operation of the fuel delivery process while the vehicle is stationary.

we would get around 9,000 gallons with 1 delivery
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.
The definition of the word tanker, is a vehicle, a boat, or an aircraft, with the designated job of transporting tanks of liquid, typically oil, or some other form of liquid fuel.
Yes, a HEMTT fuel tanker or a fuel tanker semi-trailer can be considered a bulk package as long as it meets the criteria for bulk packaging defined by regulations, such as the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines. Bulk packaging is typically defined as containers that hold a large quantity of hazardous material, exceeding certain volume thresholds. If these tankers are appropriately marked, labeled, and placarded according to relevant regulations, they comply with the necessary safety and identification requirements for transporting hazardous materials.
MR oil tanker actually refers to Medium Range Product Tanker which is between 42,000 dwt to 59,999 dwt. There are two categories of ships in the oil tanker industry. First are the Product tankers which transport refined petroleum products like gasoline, diesel, naphtha, aviation fuel, etc. Second are the Crude carriers which transport unrefined crude oil.
