Bulk Liquids & SurgePregunta 20 de 60
How can the weight of a dense liquid limit how much you load?
a.It causes the liquid to expand faster than the tank allows
b.You may reach the legal weight limit before the tank is full
c.It lowers the center of gravity below safe levels
d.It requires the tank to be loaded completely full
Explicación
A dense or heavy liquid adds a lot of weight per gallon. You may hit the legal gross or axle weight limit long before the tank is physically full. In that case you can only partially fill the tank, which also increases surge.
