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.
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.
