GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Definition: Road Tanker: The Road tanker mentioned herein is a Truck (either single or with trailer) which is a motor vehicle designed to carry Petroleum Product loads contained in a Steel Tank mounted on the Truck / Trailer Chassis. 5.1 The fuel Road tanker, trailer or semi-trailer (referred to as tanker for brevity hence forth) is intended for transportation of fuel from Sabhan and or Ahmadi depot other KNPC facilities to various filling stations and other destinations located across Kuwait. 5.2 Both Sabhan and Ahmadi Depots are equipped with the state-of-art Terminal Automation and Vapor Recovery Systems. It is therefore, required that the Road tankers be designed with all the required instrumentation and automation system to be compatible for safe loading operation with vapor recovery. 5.3 All the Filling Stations have already been equipped with Vapor Recovery System at the underground tanks. It is, therefore, essential to equip Road tankers with all the features to facilitate these tankers to Vapor Recovery mode of operation. 5.4 The Vapor Recovery System for each Tanker / Semi-trailer shall be designed in accordance with API-RP 1004 to prevent build-up of high pressure or vacuum during the process of loading /unloading in either vapor recovery or non-vapor mode of operation as required. Required equipment, instrumentation, automation for operations must be provided with the Road tanker. Necessary hoses with couplings & -- 3 of 31 -- KNPC Road Tanker Specification Tanker Specification page 4 of 31 connection adapters and couplings shall be supplied with each tanker for unloading products at Stations and Customer locations with Vapor Recovery System. 5.5 The tanker chass…
