The only problem I see with your fuel truck is what holds the tank to the truck bed. I don't see any straps keeping it from rolling around. My first summer job with my father's const. company was to run the fuel truck. It was a Mack B61 held about 4000 gallons. This wouldn't last long when you were running 10 Euclid TS-24's and a few Cat D9"s,when the truck would run out I have to make an 70 mile round trip to the fuel depot for another load, then hurry back and finish fueling. Thinking back that was a great summer job.
The tank is bolted in 4 places with 3/8-16 bolts to the cross members of the bed, through the floor...
My lot is totally flat, and I don't plan to be taking hard turns with a full load of fuel, lol...
The only problem I think I will have will be the sloshing back and forth of a 1/2 full tank. That could throw the truck around a bit, but it should work OK for what I need it for...
