Tank trucks are logistics transportation tools for oil products’ zero distribution and final distribution. According to the management requirements of the HSE system, both the business department in charge and gas stations should implement the safety inspection responsibilities for carrier vehicles before in-station unloading to ensure that safety risks in the unloading link are controllable. For the daily quick safety inspection of tank trucks, the following key points should be focused on:

I. Overall Appearance
- The vehicle appearance is clean and tidy, with no obvious damage, and the oil circuit system has no leakage.
- Windows, rearview mirrors, and lighting devices are intact and effective.
- The vehicle nameplate should be clear and easy to identify, and each compartment number, pipeline, emergency button, toolbox, etc., must have obvious labels.
- The rear of the tank should be sprayed with the vehicle’s enlarged license plate number; all seats in the cab are equipped with effective safety belts.
II. Mudguards and Tires
- The mudguard is installed in an appropriate position above the tire, and a rubber baffle is installed at the lower end of the rear.
- All tires have no obvious damage, clear tread patterns, with the tread height of steering wheels not less than 3.2mm and that of other tires not less than 1.6mm.
- The wheel hub has no obvious deformation, bolts are complete, and nuts are not loose.
- Refurbished tires are strictly prohibited. Tires on the same axle must have the same specifications and tread patterns, and the spare tire must meet the usage requirements.
III. Tank Body
- The tank body has no leakage, cracks, corrosion, or permanent deformation.
IV. Oil Discharge Port
- The vehicle’s oil discharge port should be equipped with a protective operation box, and a closed space should be avoided (the bottom of the operation box is provided with an oil collecting groove and a valve for centralized discharge). The outside of the box door is equipped with a sealing or locking device.
V. Oil Discharge Hose
- The material of the loading and unloading hose carried by the vehicle should be compatible with the transported medium. Anti-static hoses should be used, and the resistance value between the two metal parts of the loading and unloading hose should not exceed 5Ω.
VI. Tank Emergency Cut-off Valve
- The control buttons of the tank emergency cut-off valve should be installed in easily accessible positions on the side and rear of the vehicle, intact and effective, and in a closed state during non-loading and unloading operations. If the button is equipped with a protective cover, it should be intact, and there should be obvious text labels for emergency cut-off next to the button.
VII. Reflective Strips and Safety Signboards
- The two sides and rear of the tank should be pasted with orange reflective strips and reflective signs according to the regulations of the transportation management department, and safety signboards matching the transported goods should be hung.
VIII. Vehicle Guardrails and Climbing Ladders
- The tank should be equipped with a fixed climbing ladder that meets the requirements (when the climbing ladder is installed on the front head, the tractor or chassis girder should be designed with a platform for easy access to the ladder), and the guardrails on both sides are reasonable and stable.
- The vehicle should set up a non-slip operation platform on the top of the tank and install a foldable guardrail with a height of not less than 0.9M.
IX. Exhaust Muffler
- The exhaust muffler of the engine should be fireproof or equipped with a fireproof device, which must be closed when entering the warehouse.
X. Static Electricity Drag Belt and Static Grounding Terminal
- The static grounding drag belt installed below the rear of the vehicle must be intact, effective, and in contact with the ground (the tractor and trailer must be separately installed with static grounding drag belts). The resistance from any point on the conductive components inside the oil tank to the 拖地胶带 (grounding drag belt) should not exceed 5Ω.
- Dedicated static grounding terminals should be set on both sides of the tank. The resistance between any two points of the metal pipeline and the tank or from any point to the end of the grounding terminal should not exceed 5Ω. The dedicated terminals should be more than 1.5 meters away from the oil discharge port and sprayed with static grounding marks.
XI. Fire Extinguishers and Toolbox
- The vehicle must be equipped with 2 dry powder fire extinguishers of more than 4KG, and the cab should be equipped with 1 fire extinguisher of not less than 1KG, which are intact, effective, and easy to access.
- The toolbox should be equipped with intact warning signs, traffic cones, triangular chocks, gloves, etc.
