Some people believe that tanker truck maintenance is simply changing the engine oil, which is a very one-sided and incorrect view. Tanker truck maintenance is a broad concept, including the replacement and cleaning of various fluids and filters in the engine system (engine oil, gear oil, brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid, battery coolant, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, cabin air filter, etc.), the replacement and maintenance of easily worn parts such as belts, batteries, brake pads, ball joints, clutch plates, shock absorbers, etc., and tanker truck detailing (car wash, exterior paint care, interior trim care, etc.).
Proper tanker truck maintenance can maintain the vehicle's performance and extend its service life. This article focuses on the maintenance of easily worn parts in tanker trucks, explaining how to inspect, replace, and maintain them, as well as what phenomena are observed during maintenance and what problems these phenomena indicate.
Points to note for tanker truck drivers while driving:
① Check the operation of all instruments while driving;
② Check the steering system for proper functioning while driving;
③ Check the hand and foot brakes for malfunctions while driving.
