Precautions for Using a Trailer Tank

Before each use of a trailer tank, thoroughly inspect the equipment. In particular, inspect the tank for deformation, cracks, or corrosion to ensure the tank structure is intact and undamaged. Check the seals at all connections, including valves and pipe joints for signs of aging or looseness, to prevent leaks caused by seal failure. Also, check that the towing device is securely connected to the towing vehicle, tire pressure is normal, and the braking system is sensitive. Only begin operation after confirming that all safety components are in good working order.

When towing a trailer tank, maintain a controlled speed and avoid sudden acceleration, braking, or sharp turns. This prevents the tank from shaking due to inertia, which could cause spills or imbalance. When driving over bumpy roads, slopes, or narrow sections, slow down, pay attention to your surroundings, and ensure a safe and unobstructed route. During long journeys, stop and inspect the tank connections regularly for loose connections and the tires to ensure they are in good condition. This will prevent equipment malfunctions caused by prolonged driving. Avoid prolonged periods of time in areas with high temperatures or open flames.

When filling a trailer tank, select the appropriate liquid according to the type indicated on the tank label to avoid corrosion damage caused by incompatible liquids. Control the flow rate during filling to prevent static electricity from rapidly impacting the tank, and avoid overfilling and spillage. When transferring liquid, ensure that connections are secure and open valves slowly to avoid a sudden pressure increase caused by rapid flow. After the transfer is complete, close all valves promptly and check for residual leaks.

If a liquid leak is detected during operation, immediately stop operation and move the trailer tank to a safe, ventilated area away from open flames and heat sources. Post warning signs to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching. Use appropriate protective equipment based on the characteristics of the leaked liquid. If the leak is large, contact a qualified professional for assistance to avoid safety risks associated with self-handling. In the event of equipment failure or a traffic accident, prioritize personal safety, promptly disconnect the vehicle from the towing vehicle, implement necessary protective measures to prevent the spread of liquid leakage, and contact relevant authorities for follow-up.
