Why Vehicles carrying inflammable material like petrol are covered with bad conductors of heat?
Usually, a petrol tanker would not need to be insulated from the ambient temperature.But there are substances such as LPG that have a quite low boiling point, and these could be insulated.And again, tankers carrying liquids with a very low boiling point, such as liquid oxygen or liquid nitrogen will almost always be well insulated.
How much does a super tanker weights?
100000 tons
A 5000 gallon water tanker is sent to refill the water buffaloes Of the driver pumps 750 gallons in 15 minutes What is the rate of flow in gallons per minute?
50 gallons per minute
Do you need a cdl to transport 300 gallons of diesel?
Yes. You'll need the CDL of a class appropriate to the vehicle being operated, a tanker endorsement, and a hazmat endorsement. 300 gallons puts you well past the 1000 lb. threshold for not needing one.
Why do Super tankers cut off their engines at least 25 km from the port?
Newton's Law of Conservation of Momentum applies here.In simple terms, it means,that if you want to stop a 550000 dead weight ton super tanker going at 10 kilometers per hour the engines need to apply almost 550,000 times 10 the force in the opposite direction to stop it.If the supertanker stops within less than 20 km from port. I think you can make out the rest
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol in unloaded?
Because even if there's a slight static charge in the tanker, it could ignite the petrol and explode. If it's connected to the ground by a wire, then all the static charge in the truck is removed (ie grounding the truck).
How do you use tanker in sentence?

What is a petrol container?
Tank, Tanker or a Canister.
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol is uploaded?
Most likely, this is to discharge any static electricity that the tanker may have accrued during its journey. Such static can be dangerous because it may cause the petrol to ignite; therefore, the wire 'grounds' the tanker (i.e. it allows the electricity to pass harmlessly into the ground) and removes this threat.

Can one convert a petrol road tanker to a LPG road tanker?
Sure, just change the tank and all the plumbing. If you were trying to re-purpose the tank, no, the tank has to survive a 300 psi pressure test
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.
What are road tankers?
Road tankers are large lorries that carry large tanks that can hold bulk liquids or powder. A milk tanker will carry milk. And an oil tanker will carry petroleum products - petrol, diesel, oil, etc.

How oil tanker measures?
I assume you meant measuring the level in an oil tanker making a delivery to a petrol station? The driver uses long metal rods that are dipped through opened caps on the top of the tanker to check the level inside. Note: I assume the metal rods are non-ferous and won't cause a spark, but I'm not sure!
