ISUZU 10 CBM Fuel Dispenser Truck

ISUZU 10 CBM Fuel Dispenser Truck

The ISUZU 10 CBM Fuel Dispenser Truck is designed for the transportation and controlled dispensing of liquid fuels, providing a practical solution for fuel delivery to construction sites, industrial facilities, transport fleets, agricultural operations, and other locations where access to a fixed filling station may be limited. Built on an ISUZU FTR or a compatible medium-duty chassis, this 4×2 fuel tanker combines dependable road performance with a dedicated fuel storage and dispensing system, allowing operators to transport fuel and distribute it directly to vehicles, machinery, and equipment at designated service locations.

Powered by an ISUZU 4HK1-series diesel engine with a proposed displacement of approximately 5,193 mL and an output of around 190 HP, the truck is configured to deliver a balance of driving performance, load-carrying capability, and operational efficiency. A manual transmission with six forward gears and one reverse gear is proposed, while the final engine and transmission specifications can be confirmed according to the selected chassis configuration and destination-market requirements. With an approximate overall dimension of 7,800 × 2,500 × 3,200 mm and a wheelbase of around 4,500 mm, the vehicle is intended for medium-duty fuel distribution operations that require a practical combination of tank capacity, road mobility, and accessible dispensing equipment.

The truck features a 10,000-liter (10 CBM) fuel tank with a cylindrical or elliptical design, manufactured from approximately 5 mm carbon steel according to the final engineering requirements. Its fuel dispensing system can be equipped with a suitable transfer pump, flow meter, dispensing hose, fuel nozzle, and control panel, enabling operators to manage fuel delivery with greater convenience and consistency. Additional equipment, including a hose reel, optional emergency shut-off system, and static-grounding accessories, can be configured to suit the intended application and local safety regulations.

For customers evaluating different commercial vehicle configurations, the fuel tanker and liquid transport solutions can be considered alongside the cargo truck range and box truck models. The most suitable configuration depends on the type of fuel being transported, the required dispensing equipment, road conditions, local vehicle regulations, and the operating weight permitted in the destination country.

Features

1. ISUZU Medium-Duty Chassis and Diesel Power

The proposed ISUZU FTR-based chassis provides a platform for fuel distribution work, with a 4×2 drive configuration suited to regular road transportation and deliveries to industrial or commercial customers. The selected 4HK1-series diesel engine is specified at approximately 190 HP, subject to the actual engine variant, while the proposed six-speed manual transmission supports flexible driving across urban roads, industrial areas, and regional routes. Left-hand or right-hand drive can be selected according to the destination market, and the final chassis configuration should be verified against the required gross vehicle weight and applicable road regulations.

2. 10,000-Liter Fuel Tank Construction

The tank has a nominal capacity of 10,000 liters, with a single-compartment design proposed as the standard configuration. The tank body and end plates are specified as approximately 5 mm carbon steel, subject to structural calculations, fuel compatibility, and applicable certification requirements. A cylindrical or elliptical tank profile can be selected according to the engineering design, while the manhole, breather valve, bottom valve, and approximately 80 mm discharge outlet provide access for filling, ventilation, and fuel transfer.

Where different fuel grades or separate delivery volumes must be handled, a multi-compartment arrangement may be available as an option. The manufacturer should determine the final tank structure, internal fittings, and compartment layout to meet the intended fuel type, transport conditions, and regulatory requirements.

3. Integrated Fuel Dispensing Equipment

The fuel dispensing system is designed to make the vehicle more than a conventional tanker by enabling controlled fuel delivery at the point of use. Depending on the selected configuration, the system can include a fuel-transfer pump, a flow meter, a fuel-resistant dispensing hose, an automatic or manual nozzle, and a control panel for operating the dispensing equipment. An optional hose reel can help keep the hose organized during transport and operation, reducing handling difficulties when fuel must be delivered at multiple locations throughout the working day.

The pump capacity, metering accuracy, hose specifications, and nozzle type should be selected according to the fuel being handled and the required dispensing rate. If the truck will be used for commercial fuel sales or measured deliveries, the flow meter and related equipment should meet the applicable calibration, verification, and legal metrology requirements.

4. Safety Equipment for Fuel Handling

Because fuel transportation and dispensing involve flammable liquids, the truck can be equipped with two fire extinguishers, static-grounding equipment, a breather valve, and other necessary tank fittings. An emergency shut-off system may also be specified to help operators stop fuel transfer when required, while suitable grounding and bonding arrangements should be designed to control electrostatic risks during loading and dispensing.

The final safety package must be selected in accordance with the fuel type, operating procedures, and destination-country requirements for hazardous-material transport. Electrical equipment, pump components, valves, and other fittings should be appropriate for the intended service environment, and the completed vehicle should undergo the required inspection and certification before entering operation.

5. Corrosion Protection and Practical Accessories

The chassis and tank surfaces can be cleaned and prepared before the application of anti-corrosion primer and finishing coats, helping protect exposed surfaces during normal service. The exterior color can be customized to match a customer’s fleet identity or operational requirements, while a standard tool box provides convenient storage for routine tools and accessories. A tank ladder, suitable access fittings, and other service components can be incorporated according to the final tank design.

6. Payload and Vehicle Configuration

The proposed vehicle dimensions are approximately 7,800 × 2,500 × 3,200 mm, with a curb weight of around 6,500 kg and a proposed gross vehicle weight of approximately 14,500 kg. These figures are preliminary reference values rather than confirmed factory ratings, and the final payload must be calculated using the certified chassis weight, tank and dispensing equipment weight, driver, accessories, and actual fuel density.

Since 10,000 liters of fuel can weigh approximately 7,000–8,500 kg depending on the product, a full tank may exceed the permissible payload of some medium-duty chassis configurations. The tank capacity, gross vehicle weight, and front and rear axle ratings must therefore be checked together before production so that the finished truck can operate legally and safely. Final specifications, fuel-system components, and safety certification should be confirmed for the intended market and application.
