A fuel truck is a specialized vehicle designed for the transportation and distribution of fuel. It consists of a chassis and a large - capacity fuel - storage tank, usually constructed from materials like steel or stainless steel to withstand the rigors of transport and the properties of the fuel. The truck is equipped with a pumping system to transfer fuel, along with hoses and nozzles for dispensing. Safety features are integral, including emergency shut - off valves, leak - detection systems, and fire - suppression equipment, to prevent accidents during transit and refueling. Fuel trucks are essential for supplying gas stations, industrial facilities, and other locations with the fuel needed to power vehicles and equipment.
