    here most of tank trailers are 10.5m long that is considered as best ratio of stability and dead weight

    that is my favorite tank truck from my country

    40-45' in length. And that big Western Star does look weird with a single drive.

    The two I posted a single chamber non- baffled tanks. They will jerk you around if your gentle with them.

    Q

    I've got front airbags on mine but only 2 bag rears, I went for 2 airbag rears cos it feels more stable on a 4*2, I haven't driven scanias 4 Bag rears yet, Mine feels like a coach to drive, no vibration, bumps or anything , even those little nasty rubber speed bumps can't be felt in the cab, 4 bag rears must be unbelievable !
