ABSTRACT:
A tank wagon includes an elongated tank for transporting liquid material on a frame supported by at least one wheel set. The center line of the tank extends in an inclined direction in a forward direction. The lowermost point of the tank is in front of the wheel set with respect to the normal direction of wagon travel. The tank is composed by at least two substantially cylindrical compartments of different diameters. The compartment having the smaller diameter is rearmost and located directly above the wheel set. The two tank compartments have center lines that extend at different levels and parallel to one another. The wagon is stable in operation and its construction is such that emptying the wagon of its contents is facilitated through a tube that interconnects the lowermost points of the compartments. Preferably, the smaller diameter compartment is joined to the front compartment so that the center line of the former is substantially above that of the latter.
