1-6. EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES.
a. The M1062 7500 Gallon Fuel Tank Semitrailer is a military adapted commercial semitrailer
designed to provide bulk petroleum line haul support over primary and secondary roads.
b. The semitrailer is designed to be towed by the M915/915A1/A2 tractor equipped with a fifth
wheel. Maximum allowable speed is 55 mi/h (88 km/h) on primary roads and 35 mi/h (56 km/h) on secondary
roads.
c. The semitrailer is capable of occasional hard bottom, salt- or freshwater fording to a depth of 20
in. (50.8 cm) without any special servicing or protection before or after fording.
d. All semitrailers are equipped with:
(1) A single compartment aluminum tank with acapacityof 7500 gallons plus 3% for expansion.
The tank is equipped with seven baffles, having offset manways, to minimize fuel surge
when in transit or when bottom loading.
(2)
A piping assembly containing a roadside front port and a rear inlet. Fuel may be bottom
loaded at either opening and unloaded at front port ONLY.
(3)
One manhole assembly with one 10 in. (25.4 cm) fill cover used during top loading. One
automatic vacuum vent and one automatic pressure/vacuum vent are installed into fill
cover. Manhole allows access to tank for inspection and repair.
(4) An automatic shut-off device (jet level sensor) mounted just inside the tank at the manhole
opening. When bottom loading, fuel flow will shut off when tank capacity is reached.
(5)
A strainer assembly, located in jet level sensor circuit, which filters all fuel being bottom
loaded.
(6) A precheck system which operates from cabinet and functions to predict jet level sensor
failure.
(7)
A vapor collection system allows for venting of vapors created during bottom loading and
unloading.
(8)
An electrical system which operates under standard or blackout modes and includes:
(a)
12-volt electrical connector. Supplies 12 volts directly to the semitrailer's lights.
(b) 24-volt electrical connector. Supplies 24 volts directly to the blackout lights. With
voltage reduction provided by the voltage control unit, supplies 12 volts to the
semitrailer lights.
(c)
ON/OFF toggle switch for optional convoy warning light (see Appendix D).
(d)
Mounting bracket for convoy warning light at rear of roadside overturn rail.
(9) Tandem axles with dual-mounted wheels.
