4 Axle 54000L 7 Compartment Fuel Tanker Semi Trailer

The 4 Axle 54000L 7 Compartment Fuel Tanker Semi Trailer is HUAYU's high-capacity carbon steel fuel tanker for multi-grade distribution: 54,000 liters split across seven sealed bays on a 4-axle leaf-spring chassis. It is built for petrol, diesel, and kerosene delivery where one trip must supply several fuel grades — city station networks, depot-to-station corridors, and site refueling fleets. Every unit ships with the UN 1203 marking set, API bottom-loading valves, and a full-length railed walkway.

• 54,000L in seven bays: one 13,500L, three 9,000L, and three 4,500L compartments for mixed-grade loads.
• API bottom-loading cabinet: pneumatic per-bay valves plus vapor-recovery adaptor behind lockable gas-strut doors.
• UN 1203 hazard set: orange 33/1203 plates, Class 3 diamond, and 60/30 speed roundels for ADR-convention markets.
• 4 axles, leaf springs: 13T axles on a multi-leaf stack with 12R22.5 18PR TANWONG tires.
• Full-length walkway: fold-down handrails and 500mm manholes stenciled with each bay's volume.
• JOST running gear: two-speed landing legs and a 2.0 or 3.5 inch king pin.

Seven Bays From 13,500L to 4,500L: Three Grades in One Trip

The 54,000 liters divide into a 13,500L front bay, three 9,000L bays, and three 4,500L bays between them, each sealed behind its own 500mm manhole and pneumatic API bottom valve. A depot run can therefore load diesel in the large bays and two petrol grades in the small ones with no shared lines and no cross-contamination. Smaller bays also shrink the free-surface surge that a half-full tank produces under braking, and each bay's volume is stenciled on its manhole and discharge tag so loading crews never guess the split.

Six API pneumatic bottom valves and a vapor recovery adaptor fill the discharge cabinet of the 4 axle 54000L fuel tanker semi trailer.

The front dished end of the carbon steel tank closes the 13,500 liter bay above the kingpin area.

UN 1203 Plates, API Valves, Vapor Recovery: The ADR-Convention Export Kit

Fuel distributors on ADR-convention routes need the markings and the hardware to match, and this tanker ships with both. Orange 33/1203 plates identify the petrol load, backed by the Class 3 flammable-liquid diamond, an environmental-hazard mark, no-flame pictograms, and 60/30 km/h speed roundels on the rear head. Bottom loading through the API valves keeps the operator on the ground during filling, and the cabinet's vapor-recovery adaptor vents fumes back to the loading rack. A rear ladder, the railed walkway, and mesh-caged rear lamps complete the safety kit.

The rear head carries the UN 1203 orange plate, Class 3 flammable liquid diamond, speed roundels, and the access ladder.

Two-speed landing legs support the tank front beside the discharge pipework and a mesh-caged work lamp.

The 4-axle chassis, mechanical leaf-spring stack, and JOST running gear are shared with the 4 Axles Carbon Steel Oil Tanker Semi Trailer, whose page covers the axle options, brake layout, and heating and insulation variants of this platform in detail.

• King pin: JOST 2.0 or 3.5 inch.
• Landing gear: JOST two-speed.
• Brakes: dual-line air brakes with ABS.
• Discharge line: 3 or 4 inch outlet, gravity unload, with a gear pump optional for station delivery without rack pressure.
• Electrical: 24V system with LED side markers and caged rear lamp clusters.
• Tires: 12R22.5 18PR TANWONG HS268, 16 pieces on steel rims.
• Paint: 2-part epoxy primer plus polyurethane topcoat in white.
• Toolbox: lockable side toolbox for hoses, gloves, and delivery documents.

Two of the four 13T axles ride on 12R22.5 TANWONG tires, with yellow torque-check paint on the wheel nuts.

The mechanical leaf-spring equalizer hanger sits between axle pairs under the 54,000 liter tank.

Who runs this tanker, and when to choose it:

• National and regional fuel distributors supplying station networks with petrol, diesel, and kerosene — one 7-bay trip replaces two or three single-product runs.
• Depot-to-station corridor operators in the Gulf and Sub-Saharan Africa: 54,000 liters of petrol is about 40 tons at 0.72–0.75 kg/l, inside 4-axle road limits on paved corridors. HUAYU has already delivered this class of tanker to the region, including the 55 CBM ADR fuel tanker built for Saudi Arabia and Africa.
• Industrial site refueling fleets serving mines, ports, and power plants: the 4,500L bays meter out premium products without dedicating a second unit.

Paved corridors with multi-grade drops call for this 7-bay 4-axle spec. Weight-sensitive single-product long hauls point to the lighter 3 Axle 45000L Aluminum Fuel Tanker Semi Trailer; the material trade-offs are laid out in our fuel tanker material comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 54,000L capacity split across the 7 compartments?

One 13,500L bay, three 9,000L bays, and three 4,500L bays — 54,000 liters in total. The large bays take the volume product, usually diesel, while the small bays carry premium grades. For typical splits by trailer class, see our tank trailer capacity guide.

Can this tanker carry diesel, petrol, and kerosene on the same trip?

Yes. Each bay is a sealed cell with its own manhole, bottom valve, and discharge tag, so three products travel together without mixing. The UN 1203 marking set covers petrol; diesel and kerosene loads run on the same hardware, and the diesel tanker trailer layout is identical apart from the plates.

Can I order a different compartment count or volume split?

HUAYU builds this tank with 1 to 9 compartments, and the split is sized to your product mix: more 4,500L bays for multi-grade station delivery, or one open tank for single-product haulage. Tank length and tare weight change with the layout, and every manhole is stenciled to match.

What is the price of a 4 axle 54000L fuel tanker semi trailer?

The final price depends on your configuration: carbon steel or aluminum tank, compartment count, FUWA or BPW axles, mechanical or air suspension, and discharge options like a pump or metering. Send an inquiry for a detailed FOB Qingdao quotation, or ask for a CFR or CIF quote to your destination port. We reply within 24 hours.

Ask for a full quote with the destination port, preferred volume (40, 45, or 54 kl) and compartment configuration, and any custom specifications. The HUAYU sales team replies within one working day on weekdays. Reach us on the contact page or WhatsApp from any page on the site.
