It depends on how long it takes to get the financing in place.
About 20 minutes.
It is a tanker truck which has a climate control system for the cargo. These are used for temperature sensitive loads which have to travel long distances, and works more the same way as a refrigerated box trailer would.
30 seconds or so, to fill up a jet fighter from a refueling tanker plane in mid air at 400mph!
Like most tandem tanker trailers, Flying J's are 48 feet long.
Many different chemicals are caried in tankers if they need to be transported in large bulk amounts. Every thing from petrol to acid to toxic wastes of various descriptions as well as both flamable and non flameable gasses.
A supertanker is a large oil tanker that typically has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of over 200,000 tons, with many capable of carrying up to 500,000 tons or more. These vessels can be over 1,200 feet long and around 200 feet wide, making them among the largest ships in the world. Supertankers are designed for the efficient transport of crude oil and other bulk liquids across oceans. Their size allows them to carry vast quantities of cargo, significantly reducing transportation costs per barrel.
Filling up an oil tanker can take anywhere from several hours to a few days, depending on the size of the tanker and the flow rate of the loading facility. Larger tankers, such as supertankers, may require between 24 to 48 hours to fully load. The loading process involves careful coordination to ensure safety and efficiency, as well as compliance with environmental regulations.
The tanker doesn't sink when loaded with thousands of tons of oil because it is designed with a hull that displaces a volume of water equal to its total weight, including the oil. This principle, known as buoyancy, allows the ship to float as long as the weight of the water displaced is greater than or equal to the weight of the tanker and its cargo. Additionally, tankers are engineered with specific dimensions and stability features to ensure they can carry heavy loads without compromising their buoyancy.
Molecule make pretty good long cargo shorts.
Hazmat haulers are required to stop at railroad crossings - a food grade tanker would not. They only have to stop long enough to ensure there isn't a train coming.
It takes up to 5 years.
The capacity of a product oil tanker can vary significantly depending on its size and design, but they typically hold between 25,000 to 80,000 deadweight tons (DWT) of cargo. This translates to approximately 180,000 to 600,000 barrels of oil. Larger tankers, known as medium range (MR) or long range (LR) tankers, can hold even more, with some exceeding 100,000 DWT.
