ABSTRACT:
A tank for transporting liquid, in the composite, is constructed of three tank parts, two of which are elongated cylindrical tanks inclined downwardly to the rear at about 4.5.degree. and are spaced apart a short distance. At the rear, the two tanks connect rigidly with a further third cylindrical shorter tank also inclined to the rear, such third tank being supported by a set of wheels and having its lower side at about the center line of the two forward tanks. The third tank is connected to one of the other tanks to provide between them a common tank space. There are thus two contiguous tank spaces, one in an elongated forward tank and another in the other elongated forward tank and the rear tank. A coupling plate is provided forwardly on the two front elongated tanks for connection to a tractor for trailers and conduits extend in front of the tanks for connection to an air pressure pump on the tractor or forward part of the tank which may provide either positive or negative pressure in the interior spaces of the tanks. At the rear of the tanks conduits lead from the lower parts of the forward elongated tanks to behind the third tank and also auxiliary conduits extend laterally outwardly from the rear of the forward elongated tanks, which also provide some protection at the lowest part of such tank should they contact the underlying surface during transportation. The same elongated forward tank which connects to the interior of the third tank also has its conduit to the rear connected into the bottom of the third tank to insure complete drainage therefrom.
