Explicación
Side-to-side surge is the liquid moving toward one side of the tank and then the other, such as during lane changes or curves. Because tank vehicles have a high center of gravity, this surge can create enough force to tip the vehicle over. Rollovers are a leading cause of tanker crashes.
