A little history of tankers on the GAZ chassis

During its existence, the Gorky Automobile Plant produced all kinds of fuel tankers. The first ATZ was a car assembled on the basis of a two-ton, three-axle GAZ AAA truck. The model was called BZ-48, the car was used in the national economy and in the Armed Forces.

The tank capacity of such an ATZ was 1350 liters. The machine appeared in 1938, and in 1939 the barrel was increased to 1,500 liters - during the war, military aircraft were refueled with the help of such equipment.

Three-axle vehicles were inconvenient to operate, and therefore another type of tanker soon appeared - the BZ-42. The car was created on the basis of the GAZ AA lorry, the tank capacity remained the same - 1500 liters.

Two ATZ models were produced on the GAZ 51A chassis. The first of them was produced since 1950 and was called ABZ-50, the second model ATZ-2.2-51A appeared in 1966. Both vehicles had the same tank capacity - 2000 liters.

Later, with the advent of the GAZ 53 model, ATZs began to be assembled on the basis of this truck. The model received the name ATZ-3.8-53A. From the abbreviation it is clear that the vehicle is built on a 53A chassis, and the tank volume is 3.8 m³ (3800 liters).

Device

Platform

As already mentioned, the platform for fuel tankers was GAZ cars of different years of production. It was practically no different from a regular truck. The only thing is that a tank was installed on the frame. Only the exhaust system was processed for vehicles intended for transporting fuel. These cars did not carry it under the frame, but placed the exhaust pipe under the front bumper. It itself was equipped with a spark arrester. Often, to prevent static electricity from occurring, a chain was attached to the body, which touched the ground and acted as grounding.

Flashing lights were installed on the cars, and there were also brackets for attaching fuel labels. The car was required to be equipped with a fire extinguisher. Otherwise, these were ordinary cars of the GAZ family.

Tank

Structurally, the tanks installed on GAZ vehicles are very similar, but their volumes differ. The tank consisted of a container made in an oval shape. Breakwaters were made inside the container to prevent the fuel from moving much inside it.

There was a neck with a lid on top. A neck for pumping fuel, a bypass valve that maintained a certain pressure inside the tank were installed in this cover, a neck was placed at the back to drain fuel by gravity, and a pump driven by a gearbox was installed in front of the tank. This pump made it possible to both pump fuel into the tank and dose it out.

On the sides of the tank there were usually round housings for hoses, which were connected either to the drain neck or to the pump, and through which fuel was pumped and drained. To control the amount of fuel there was a viewing window and a measuring ruler.

Fuel tanker GAZon Next

The fifth generation GAZon Next truck appeared in 2014. The truck has a modern design and excellent technical characteristics. The car is equipped only with diesel internal combustion engines; gasoline versions are not provided from the factory. There are only two types of internal combustion engines in the range of engines:

• Cummins ISF 3.8L;
• YaMZ-5344 with a volume of 4.43 liters.

On some LAWNs, a pre-heater is installed upon request, ensuring uninterrupted starting of a cold engine in any frost. The new car contains many imported components of excellent quality that extend the service life of the equipment.

GAZon Next fuel tankers are produced with tanks of different volumes and sizes - ATZ-5.2 and ATZ-4.9 are popular.

There is also a mini fuel tanker - it is equipped with a fuel dispenser and a 1500 liter tank.

Rules for transporting goods by fuel tanker

Fuel tanks must comply with all fire safety standards. The container itself is made of high-strength material and must be airtight.

Protective measures are applied to prevent fire: automotive wiring is carefully insulated, and special breakwaters are installed in the tanker truck at the Gas base to reduce the force of hydraulic shocks. The tank of a fuel tanker is painted in a noticeable bright light so that the vehicle is visible on the road.

It is prohibited to operate fuel tankers without special identification marks for the transportation of dangerous goods.

For violation of this rule, the driver and the organization responsible for transportation are subject to administrative punishment in the form of a fine.

As identification marks, special bright orange reflective plates are provided, which are placed on the front and rear bumpers of the fuel truck.

Sign indicating a fuel tanker

The driver of a fuel tanker is required to undergo appropriate training and know the rules for transporting dangerous goods. He must also comply not only with traffic rules, but also with the rules for transporting flammable substances.

The driver undergoes a medical examination as required:

• when starting a job;
• according to the company’s schedule (at least three times within one year);
• undergoes a medical examination before each departure on a flight.

Price and types of GAZ tankers

The relatively low price of ATZ based on GAZ is the main advantage and argument in favor of this choice. The most common fuel tankers in our country are produced at the Grabovo automobile plant GrAZ. GRAZ fuel tankers have proven themselves to be excellent performers and have won the trust of consumers. And in combination with the GAZ chassis, they are ideal for use in domestic conditions. There are alternative manufacturers with equally high-quality fuel tankers.

Information for choosing the right tanker:

Tankers for transporting food liquids are divided according to their purpose, according to the name of the liquid for which they are designed:

* Special production and design requirements apply to the technical characteristics of the alcohol tank. All modern tanks that transport perishable liquid cargo are made of stainless steel, since its use is due to its unique properties. Stainless steel does not react chemically with transported liquids and does not oxidize. To achieve maximum shelf life without compromising product quality, the tanks have thermal insulation properties and are able to transport cargo at temperatures up to “+35°C” without changing the internal temperature of the liquid. In addition to heat-insulating materials, in conditions of low temperatures in cold climates, tanks are also equipped with special heating. In the production process of food tanks, only high-quality materials are used that meet all safety standards.

Tankers are divided according to the volume of transported products, liters:

They are classified according to the type of tank installation:

Basic components, depending on the type and class of the tank:

Moreover, the container can be divided into several compartments and simultaneously transport several different types of liquid at once. Our company offers to install a tank on the chassis of a GAZ 3309 car for transportation of food and liquid products. Our company’s engineers have extensive experience in designing tanks that are of very high quality, wear resistance and meet all safety requirements imposed on them. Moreover, the tank installed on the chassis of the GAZ 3309 allows you to transport up to 5000 liters of cargo, and given the relative compactness of this truck, it makes it as maneuverable as possible, which allows you to freely transport milk, water and other food liquids along city roads. Our specialists have already successfully designed and developed tank trucks for the largest dairy plants in Russia, including the Murmansk region. Water carriers were supplied to leading municipal utilities in the region. Moreover, water carriers are a competent solution for delivering food water to the location of workers and shift crews who are located in hard-to-reach places without water pipes and other utility systems.
