Isuzu fuel truck is a cargo vehicle specially designed to transport liquid petroleum products. It uses large-capacity tanks to store and transport liquid substances such as petroleum, fuel, and chemical raw materials. The oil storage tank body of a fuel truck is usually made of steel, which has good sealing performance and corrosion resistance. The tank can usually be divided into multiple tank chambers to transport different liquid products at the same time. Each tank chamber has independent inlet and outlet and valve control. Its safe use and fire and explosion prevention are crucial. Below, I will give a detailed introduction to the safe use of tank trucks and fire prevention tips.

First of all, when using Isuzu fuel trucks safely, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. Regular inspection and maintenance: Tank trucks should undergo comprehensive inspection and maintenance before each use. Including checking whether the mechanical parts of the vehicle are normal, whether the tires are worn, whether the braking system is flexible, etc. Pay special attention to checking whether there is any oil leakage in the oil tank.
2. Pay attention to loading and unloading operations: When loading and unloading oil products, be sure to comply with relevant operating procedures and use professional tools and equipment. Make sure that operators are familiar with the operating procedures and wear protective equipment, such as gloves, protective glasses, etc. Avoid overloading to avoid exceeding the tank's capacity or causing oil leakage.

3. Obey traffic rules: During driving, drivers must abide by traffic rules to ensure safe driving. Pay attention to the distance between vehicles, avoid emergency braking, and prevent oil from sloshing and leaking.
4. Pay attention to driving operations: Drivers should stabilize the speed when driving a tank truck and avoid excessive sharp turns or sudden acceleration. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the load balance of the tanker truck to avoid causing the oil to slosh.
5. Fire extinguishers and emergency equipment: Isuzu fuel trucks should be equipped with emergency equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and medical first aid kits. Drivers should conduct regular inspections of these equipment to ensure they are in good condition and effective.

At the same time, in order to better prevent fire and explosion accidents, we need to understand the following fire prevention tips:
1. Prevent static electricity sparks: Oil tankers are prone to static electricity during the process of loading and unloading oil products. Once the static electricity sparks are triggered, it can cause a fire. Therefore, when loading and unloading oil products, ensure good grounding and anti-static measures, and use special conductive hoses for operation.
2. Prevent heat sources from causing fires: Do not use open flames or smoke around tank trucks. Avoid getting close to heat sources or high-temperature objects to prevent the heat source from causing the oil to evaporate or burn.

3. Prevent friction between objects: The oil on the tank truck is flammable and explosive, so avoid contact with sharp objects and friction sparks. At the same time, the tank truck must also ensure that the body and the road surface are well maintained while driving to avoid collisions or friction sparks that may cause fires.
4. Prevent oil leakage: Oil leakage from tank trucks can easily cause fires. Therefore, during daily use, the sealing conditions of oil tanks and pipelines should be frequently checked to ensure that there is no oil leakage. When an oil leak is discovered, measures must be taken immediately to plug the leak and remove the leaked oil.
5. Handle accidents in a timely manner: Once an accident occurs, the driver must quickly take emergency measures, such as finding a refuge location and turning on emergency flashers. At the same time, people around are required to evacuate the danger area quickly and contact relevant rescue agencies.
