Bulk Liquids & SurgePregunta 22 de 60
What should a driver do when hauling a partially filled tank to manage surge?
a.Brake hard and late to overcome the surge
b.Accelerate quickly to keep the liquid pushed back
c.Anticipate surge and drive smoothly, allowing extra space
d.Fill the remaining space with air pressure
Explicación
With a partial load, the driver should anticipate the surge that comes with every speed and direction change. Smooth braking, gentle acceleration, and extra following distance help keep the surging liquid from taking control of the vehicle. Abrupt maneuvers make surge worse and can cause loss of control.
