Fuel Tank Trucks vs. Oil Trucks: Understanding the Differences and Uses

When it comes to transporting liquid products like fuel and oil, businesses often find themselves choosing between fuel tank trucks and oil trucks. While these vehicles may seem similar at first glance, their specific designs, features, and uses set them apart. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the right equipment for your needs.

What Are Fuel Tank Trucks?

Fuel tank trucks are specialized vehicles designed to safely transport various types of fuel, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. These trucks typically have cylindrical tanks made of durable materials to prevent leakage and ensure safety.

Key Features of Fuel Tank Trucks:

Multi-compartment Tanks: Enable transportation of different fuel types in one trip.

Safety Features: Include fire suppression systems and spill containment measures.

Usage: Often seen at fuel stations, airports, and industrial sites, ensuring a steady supply of energy.

At Amthor International, we provide customizable fuel tank trucks that meet the highest safety standards and regulatory requirements, making them ideal for businesses of all sizes.

What Are Oil Trucks?

Oil trucks, on the other hand, are designed to transport different types of oil, such as crude oil, used oil, or refined oil products. These trucks are equipped with oil truck tanks that handle more viscous liquids and can even transport waste oil.

Key Features of Oil Trucks:

Specialized Tanks: Built for handling heavy or waste oils, with heating options to prevent thickening.

Versatility: Can transport fresh oil, recycled oil, or even serve as waste oil tankers.

Usage: Commonly used in industries like automotive, manufacturing, and waste management.

Amthor International specializes in durable, high-performing oil truck tanks, ensuring they’re up to the task for your unique operations.

"TRANSPORT COMES TO GRIEF - When a large transport skidded on the slippery pavement at Wolfe Island, near the western entrance, this morning, it turned over on its side, sliding sideways so that it blocked the entire width of the highway. The accident occurred at 7.45 and traffic had to detour around the gasolene station. The driver (inset), James Hastings, escaped unhurt. The transport, owned by the Wright Transport Company, was loaded with a variety of freight, little of which was damaged, and the truck also was not impaired seriously. It is shown here shortly after the accident." - from the Hamilton Spectator. February 23, 1943. Page 10.

"In cities across the country, people of color, many of them low income, live in neighborhoods criss-crossed by major thoroughfares and highways.

The housing there is often cheaper — it’s not considered particularly desirable to wake up amid traffic fumes and fall asleep to the rumble of vehicles over asphalt.

But the price of living there is steep: Exhaust from all those cars and trucks leads to higher rates of childhood asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and pulmonary ailments. Many people die younger than they otherwise would have, and the medical costs and time lost to illness contributes to their poverty.

Imagine if none of those cars and trucks emitted any fumes at all, running instead on an electric charge. That would make a staggering difference in the trajectory, quality, and length of millions of lives, particularly those of young people growing up near freeways and other sources of air pollution, according to a study from the American Lung Association.

The study, released [February 28, 2024], found that a widespread transition to EVs could avoid nearly 3 million asthma attacks and hundreds of infant deaths, in addition to millions of lower and upper respiratory ailments...

Prior research by the American Lung Association found that 120 million people in the U.S. breathe unhealthy air daily, and 72 million live near a major trucking route — though, Barret added, there’s no safe threshold for air pollution. It affects everyone.

Bipartisan efforts to strengthen clean air standards have already made a difference across the country. In California, which, under the Clean Air Act, can set state rules stronger than national standards, 100 percent of new cars sold there must be zero emission by 2035.

[Note: The article doesn't explain this, but that is actually a much bigger deal than just California. Basically, due to historically extra terrible pollution, California is the only state that's allowed to allowed to set stronger emissions rules than the US government sets. However, one of the rules in the Clean Air Act is that any other state can choose to follow California's standards instead of the US government's. And California by itself is the world's fifth largest economy - ahead of all but four countries. So, between those two things, when California sets stricter standards for cars, they effects ripple outward massively, far beyond the state's borders.]

Truck manufacturers are, according to the state’s Air Resources Board, already exceeding anticipated zero-emissions truck sales, putting them two years ahead of schedule...

Other states have begun to take action, too, often reaching across partisan lines to do so. Maryland, Colorado, New Mexico, and Rhode Island adopted zero-emissions standards as of the end of 2023.

The Biden administration is taking similar steps, though it has slowed its progress after automakers and United Auto Workers pressured the administration to relax some of its more stringent EV transition requirements.

While Barret finds efforts to support the electrification of passenger vehicles exciting, he said the greatest culprits are diesel trucks. “These are 5 to 10 percent of the vehicles on the road, but they’re generating the majority of smog-forming emissions of ozone and nitrogen,” Barret said...

Lately, there’s been significant progress on truck decarbonization. The Biden administration has made promises to ensure that 30 percent of all big rigs sold are electric by 2030...

Such measures, combined with an increase in public EV charging stations, vehicle tax credits, and other incentives, could change American highways, not to mention health, for good."
