1. Pre-Operation Inspection
 

Before operating an oil tank trailer, a comprehensive pre-trip inspection must be carried out to ensure safe and stable operation.
 

Check the tank body for deformation, cracks, or oil leakage. Examine the manhole cover, sealing gasket, oil discharge valve, and pipeline connectors for tightness.
 

Verify that the braking system, tires, suspension, lighting, and reflective signs are in good condition.
 

Confirm that static grounding devices, emergency shut-off valves, and fire prevention equipment are complete and functional.
 

Any abnormal findings must be repaired before departure to avoid potential safety hazards during transportation.

 

 

 2. Loading Safety Procedures
 

During oil loading, strictly follow operating specifications to prevent overflow, static electricity, and fire risks.

Control the loading speed to avoid excessive liquid impact and static buildup.

Ensure the static grounding wire is properly connected before starting loading.

Do not overfill the tank; reserve sufficient expansion space to prevent oil overflow due to temperature changes.

Non-flammable safety measures must be implemented throughout the process: no open flames, no smoking, and no use of mobile phones.

 

 

3. Transportation & Driving Requirements
 

When driving an oil tank trailer, maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden acceleration, braking, or sharp turns.
 

Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and reduce speed on wet, slippery, or bumpy roads.

Avoid harsh road conditions that may cause impact damage to the tank body or internal components.
 

Regularly check instrument readings and observe for abnormal noise, vibration, or oil leakage during transit.

 

 

4. Unloading & Static Control

 

Before unloading, reconnect the static grounding device and confirm a safe operating environment.
 

Open valves slowly to control flow rate and prevent pressure surges.
 

After unloading, check valves, pipelines, and connectors to ensure no residual oil leakage.

Complete necessary cleaning and sealing work to maintain tank cleanliness and extend service life.

5. General Safety Notes
 

●Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to operate oil tank trailers.
 

●Regular maintenance and inspection must be performed in accordance with industry standards.
 

●Fire extinguishers and emergency tools should be placed in easily accessible locations.
 

●Strictly comply with local transportation regulations and hazardous goods transport requirements.
