HOWO 6x4 371hp 20,000 L Diesel Fuel Tank Truck with Pump and Flow Meter

★ A 20,000 L HOWO 6x4 diesel tanker with two-compartment steel tank, self-priming pump, flow meter and UN 1202 placards for depot and mobile refuelling.

20,000 L Steel Tank and Compartments

▶ The elliptical tank is built from 5-6 mm carbon steel with dished ends, anti-surge baffles and two top manholes. Two compartments let the operator carry one fuel grade in separate sections and reduce load movement on the road. The shell is pressure-tested and painted with a fuel-resistant finish.

Filling is normally through the top manholes, with an optional bottom-loading connection. A mechanical level gauge and an emergency bottom valve are fitted, and the tank carries UN 1202 Class 3 placards, a flammable-liquid diamond and no-smoking, no-phone and no-flame symbols.

Pump, Meter and Dispensing Cabinet

▶ A self-priming pump mounted in the lockable side cabinet draws fuel through a 2.5- or 3-inch camlock inlet and delivers it through a mechanical flow meter to the outlet. The meter shows delivered litres on a resettable counter, so the operator can log each transfer without a separate measuring tank.

A 10-20 m dispensing hose with a standard fuel nozzle reaches storage tanks and machinery. The cabinet also holds the valves, strainer and grounding cable. Pump flow is about 500-800 L/min, enough to empty a full compartment in around 15-25 minutes.

HOWO 6x4 Chassis and Cab

▶ The HOWO 6x4 chassis uses a turbocharged diesel engine rated at 371 hp, a nine- or ten-speed manual gearbox and a double-reduction drive axle. Leaf-spring suspension, a reinforced frame and 12.00R20 tyres carry the 20,000 L load over highway and site roads.

Gross vehicle weight is 25,000-31,000 kg, with a fuel payload of about 16,800 kg. The cab seats two or three, with power steering, a car-style dash and optional air conditioning. Reverse cameras and side guards are recommended for depot work.

Fuel Distribution and Export

▶ Typical duties include supplying service stations, refuelling excavators, generators and truck fleets, and moving diesel between depots. The two-compartment tank and mechanical meter suit operators who need a simple, repairable system without electronic controls.

Options include a hose reel, a second meter, bottom loading, vapour recovery, an aluminium alloy tank, a fire-extinguisher kit and additional grounding points. Left-hand drive is standard and right-hand drive is optional. Each unit ships with hose, nozzle, camlock fittings, grounding cable, manual, export documents and a 30-45 day lead time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many compartments does the tank have?

The standard build has two compartments with anti-surge baffles and two top manholes, so one fuel grade can be carried in separate sections. A single-compartment or three-compartment layout can be specified for a particular depot.

How is the fuel measured?

A mechanical flow meter in the side cabinet shows delivered litres on a resettable counter. The pump draws through a camlock inlet and strainer and delivers through the meter to a 10-20 m hose, so each transfer can be logged without a separate measuring tank.

What safety equipment is fitted?

The tank has an emergency bottom valve, top vents, mechanical level gauge and static bonding to the chassis. UN 1202 Class 3 placards, no-smoking and no-flame symbols and a grounding cable are part of the standard build.
