Abstract (en)

A road tank (1) comprises a tank (5) divided into two internal compartments (11) and (12) by a flexible skin (9). A mounting member (14) welded to the tank (5) and clamping bars (17) and (18) secure the periphery of the skin (9) to the tank (5). Inlets (28) and (29) and outlets (30) and (31) are provided to the tank (5). The skin (9) is movable from the side (23) to the side (24) of the tank so the volume of the compartments (11) and (12) may be varied from being similar to the total volume of the tank (5) to zero volume. Accordingly, the tank (5) may be used for the transportation of one material in the compartment (11) on one leg of a journey and a different material in the compartment (12) on the return leg without the need for washing the tank.
