The tank can then be tilted to a desired angle clearing structure on the vehicle and rotated approximately 180.degree. to present the top of the tank in a generally downward position for dispensing its contents in liquid form. The vehicle can contain auxiliary equipment such as a pressure vessel for heating the liquid and delivering it as a gas.
