RE: Why are tankers that haul liquid cylindrical? Can't it be, say, rectangular?

in #stemng7 years ago

lolz @greenrun cos no one would ever imagine how it would look like seeing manufacturers produce a rectangular tanker? however its an idea what considering. however you should consider the roads this rectangular tankers would use, for if they are rectangular in shape, it would be needing a different road construction to fit its new shape as well.

for me i believe to much is at stake for a rectangular tanker

Sort:  

We already have a rectangular box truck, so a rectangular truck tanker won't look so much out of place :)
