What is it about?
The reasons for the deterioration of the fluidity properties of diesel fuel are given. Various variants of tanker tank designs are analyzed. The analysis of the factors influencing the provision of the required temperature regime for transportation and refueling of diesel fuel is carried out. Recommendations are given on the use of means to maintain the necessary temperature regime.

Why is it important?
Diesel fuel becomes more viscous at low temperatures. This leads to problems with its pumping from the tanker tank to the fuel tanks of refueled vehicles. The study will allow for the design of special vehicles.
Perspectives
Thus, heating the fuel on a tanker truck is a necessary process to maintain an optimal fuel temperature and prevent it from freezing. This is especially important for the transportation and storage of fuel, especially in cold climates. Heating diesel fuel helps to ensure smooth and fast pumping by the pumping station and reduce the risk of problems associated with its use.

HEATING DIESEL FUEL IN A SMALL VOLUME FUEL FUEL TRUCK
The design of a tanker made of composite material and options for the fuel heating system are considered.
MOBILE UNIT FOR MAINTAINING FUEL TEMPERATURE DURING TRANSPORTATION
The work is devoted to the design of devices for heating or cooling fuel transported by mobile fuel tankers. The relevance of using such machines is due to the need to ensure high-quality transportation of fuel and maintain the required microclimate. In this article, a device for maintaining the microclimate and a basic chassis for its placement were considered. A 3D model of a fuel tanker was also proposed. Fragments of the methodology for calculating the required characteristics were presented. Conclusions and suggestions for use were made.
