Gassy Accidents

Smaller fuel trucks typically carry between 2,500 to 5,000 gallons (9,500 to 19,000 liters) of gasoline or diesel.

Larger highway fuel tankers, used for long-haul transport, can hold between 9,000 and 11,600 gallons (34,000 to 44,000 liters).

These tankers are carefully designed with multiple compartments, allowing for the safe transport of different fuel types or grades and minimizing the movement of fuel within the tank to maintain stability.
