truck body with special belts. The truck body should be furnished for this purpose

with special eyes to secure the belts. Never throw the reservoirs filled with fuel

down the ground from the truck body.

3. Steel barrels filled with fuel are loaded in the truck in one story, whereas empty

barrels are loaded in two stories and they should be rigged with special belts.

Empty cans and cans filled with fuel are loaded in truck in rows in several stories

in frameworks and without them. In latter case wooden linings are placed between

them.

4. Pipeline is a modern type of fuel transportation mean. Fuel delivery along

pipelines is cheaper than transportation by railway or motor transport. With the

help of a pipeline it is possible to deliver fuel across rivers, lakes and seas. Fuel

delivery by pipeline does not depend on weather, time and season. Besides a

pipeline provides full secrecy of delivery. Though pipeline transportation has many

advantages it has the following drawbacks: 1) large quantity of fuel remains in the

pipeline, 2) it is difficult to pump fuel along a pipeline without any leakage, 3) it is

difficult to pump viscous products - oil, mazut, etc.

5. Pipelines may be stationary or mobile. Stationary pipelines may be of a long-

distance type or trunk lines along which oil products are pumped at long distances

and of local types (depots, plants, etc). In the Armed Forces stationary pipelines
are used only at large stationary depots. Mobile pipelines are mainly used in army.

Pipelines are the best transportation mean for oil and oil products.
