HOWO 371 HP 6×4 18,000L Fuel Tanker Truck with Fuel Dispenser

The HOWO 371 HP 6×4 18,000L Fuel Tanker Truck with Dispenser is a heavy-duty fuel transportation and mobile refueling vehicle designed for diesel and other liquid fuel distribution. It combines a SINOTRUK HOWO 6×4 chassis with an 18,000-liter fuel tank, PTO-driven pumping system, and fuel dispensing equipment for commercial refueling operations.

Technical Specifications

Application Case

Mobile Refueling Operations in Mining & Remote Fleet Logistics

Scenario: Operating in remote mining sites, road construction infrastructure projects, and commercial fleet depots requiring direct on-site refueling.

Operational Performance:

• On-Site Dispensing: Equipped with a high-accuracy digital fuel dispenser (SAIKE) and automatic reel-driven nozzle for refueling construction machinery (excavators, bulldozers) and transport trucks directly on-site.
• Terrain Capability: The HOWO 6x4 heavy-duty chassis coupled with 371 HP engine output and HC16 hub-reduction axles allows full payload18,000 L) delivery across unpaved, mud, or off-road gradient terrains.
• Multi-Safety Protection: Incorporates emergency bottom cutoff valves and static discharge systems to ensure safe fuel transfer under extreme ambient temperatures.

Buyer Guide

• Capacity & Axle Weight Matching: Ensure local road transport regulations permit a 25 ton GVW on a 6x4 layout for 18,000 L of liquid density ( 0.84 kg/L for diesel).
• Compartment Selection: Determine whether your operation requires a single large tank (ideal for bulk diesel supply) or 2–3 sub-compartments (to transport diesel, petrol, or different fuel grades simultaneously).
• Dispenser & Flow Rate Customization: Specify dispenser preferences based on commercial needs—standard flow rate50-60 L/min) for fleet trucks or high-flow options80-100 L/min) for large mining equipment.
• Safety & Standard Compliance: Verify regional environmental and transport mandates (e.g., bottom loading systems, vapor recovery, overfill prevention sensors, or top loading manholes).
• Chassis & Engine Selection: Select the engine emissions standard (Euro 2/3 for South America, Africa, and Central Asia; Euro 5/6 for regulated zones) matching your regional fuel quality.

Maintenance Guide

Daily & Operational Checks

• Tank & Valve Inspection: Visually check emergency shut-off valves, discharge valves, and pipe joints for any fuel weeping or seal degradation prior to departure.
• Static Discharge Setup: Always verify that the grounding wire/clamp and anti-static rubber strip are clean and make direct contact with the surface during refueling/offloading operations.
• Water & Sediment Drainage: Drain accumulated moisture from the tank bottom drain valve and chassis air tanks at the end of each shift.

Scheduled Chassis & Equipment Service

• Engine & Powertrain: Change engine oil, oil filters, and primary fuel filters every 10,000-15,000 km. Service the heavy-duty oil-bath air filter regularly under dusty off-road conditions.
• Fuel Dispenser & Meter Maintenance: Clean the internal filter mesh inside the SAIKE dispenser every month to clear debris and maintain flow accuracy. Recalibrate the flow meter every 6 months.
• Axles & Suspension: Check differential gear oil levels on HF9/HC16 axles every 20,000 km. Tighten chassis U-bolts and check leaf spring alignment periodically under full payload operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q1: What liquids can be transported in this HOWO 18,000L tank truck?
2. A: It is designed primarily for refined petroleum products including diesel, gasoline, kerosene, and light fuel oils. Dedicated coatings or stainless steel variants are available for special chemicals or water transport.
3. Q2: Is the fuel dispenser pump powered by an independent generator or the truck engine?
4. A: The fuel dispenser and main gear pump are powered directly by the vehicle engine via a Power Take-Off (PTO) system mounted on the transmission, eliminating the need for an external generator.
5. Q3: Can the truck deliver fuel while measuring price and volume automatically?
6. A: Yes, the built-in SAIKE digital dispenser includes an electronic display that tracks dispensed volume (Liters), unit price, and total sale value, complete with an optional receipt printer.
7. Q4: What safety features are integrated to prevent accidental fuel spillage or explosion?
8. A: Safety configurations include an emergency pneumatic bottom valve (shut-off valve), spark arrestor exhaust system, anti-static grounding reel, top safety handrails, and explosion-proof manhole covers with breathing valves.
9. Q5: Can the tank volume be divided into multiple compartments?
10. A: Yes, we can customize the tank into 1, 2, 3, or more isolated compartments, each fitted with independent discharge valves and manhole covers to transport different fuel types simultaneously.
11. Q6: Can this 6x4 HOWO chassis be ordered in Right-Hand Drive (RHD)?
12. A: Yes, both Left-Hand Drive (LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) factory configurations are available to suit specific country road requirements.
13. Q7: What is the discharge speed of the fuel pump?
14. A: The heavy-duty gear pump typically provides a discharge flow rate of 40-60 m^3/h ( 600-1,000 L/min) for direct gravity/pump unloading, while the dispenser nozzle operates at 50-80 L/min.
15. Q8: What material thickness is used for the tanker body?
16. A: The standard shell thickness is 5 mm high-grade Q235B carbon steel with 6 mm dish heads. Optional high-tensile steel, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy options are available upon request.
17. Q9: What warranty protection is provided for international deliveries?
18. A: We provide a 1-year or 50,000 km warranty on major chassis components (engine, gearbox, axles) and 1 year of complete structural warranty on the tanker body and pump assemblies.
19. Q10: How long is the manufacturing lead time and shipping arrangement?
20. A: Production typically takes 20 to 30 working days upon deposit confirmation. Shipping options include RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels, bulk cargo ships, or flat-rack containers depending on your destination port.

Why Choose This HOWO 18,000L Fuel Tanker Truck?
