If you are not the owner of the transported fuel, then even with a small amount of fuel transported, you must have transport documents for the fuel. If more than 60 liters of fuel are transported, each container must be labeled, in the case of diesel fuel it is UN N2 OOH and hazard label number 3. What do you need to remember? Both petroleum products and diesel fuel expand when heated, so when filling containers, you need to leave a little space just in case of expansion. portable containers).
Rules for the transportation of fuels and lubricants (dangerous goods) by road
During the transportation of fuels and lubricants, a change in their chemical and physical properties may occur, which will lead to a deterioration in the quality of the transported products. With the access of oxygen, the performance properties of fuels and lubricants deteriorate, therefore they are transported in containers protected from air.
Features of transportation of fuels and lubricants by road are regulated by the Rules for the carriage of goods by road, the Rules for road transportation dangerous goods and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (in the case of international transport). The carrier must conclude an agreement with the customer for the transportation of fuel and lubricants.
The cargo owner must correctly fill out the bill of lading and provide a complete list of required documents. Transported fuels and lubricants must have certificates and other quality certificates.
Vehicles carrying fuel and lubricants must meet all requirements.
Transportation of fuels and lubricants by road
The following types of oil products can be transported in these tanks:
- Bitumen.
- Natural gas.
- Aviation fuel.
- Petrol.
- Heating oil.
- Diesel fuel.
- Petroleum gas (liquefied).
- Brake and coolants.
- Lubricants (greases and oils).
Combustible materials may only be transported in containers protected from oxygen, for the reason that the access of oxygen may change the physical and chemical properties of substances. Rules for the transportation of fuels and lubricants Rules for the transportation of fuels and lubricants in Russia are prescribed in the "Charter of Road Transport".
International transportation is carried out with the relevant European agreement. The main document for the transportation of fuel and lubricants is an agreement with the carrier.
Rules for the transportation of diesel fuel and petroleum products
Requirements for rolling stock and transportation conditions Cars, as well as trailers and semi-trailers, but which transport most types of petroleum products, must comply with certain requirements regulated by the "Rules for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods ...". The general requirements are:
- ensuring maximum fire safety measures (front location exhaust pipe a silencer with an installed flame arrester, the presence of a backup power switch (“ground switch”) and its remote drive, a grounding circuit and a pin, mechanical protection of tanks and pipelines in case of impact or rollover, rear underrun bumper, nek.

Rules for the transportation of petroleum products
Transportation of fuels and lubricants is characterized by an increased complexity of organization and implementation, since flammable goods create an increased risk of accidents, and also threaten the environment. To improve safety, it is necessary to choose the right vehicles, containers.
It is mandatory to issue permits. A range of services for the preparation and implementation of the delivery of dangerous goods is provided by the Everest Group of Companies.
Important
Specially equipped tanks for the transport of dangerous goods are one of the most suitable vehicles. Especially if it is necessary to transport fuel and lubricants over a relatively short distance.
In this case, the choice of another transport is not beneficial to the customer. For some groups of petroleum products, the conditions of transportation and storage differ significantly.
Transportation of fuels and lubricants in a personal car.
Info
The determination of the maximum quantities does not take into account dangerous goods exempted by other exemptions, such as gasoline and diesel fuel in portable containers not exceeding 60 liters. Taking into account the above, when transporting motor gasoline (in quantities not exceeding 333 l) and diesel fuel (in quantities not exceeding 1000 l), it is not required: the presence on the transport unit of the coordination of the route for the road transport of dangerous goods, ADR-certificate of the training of drivers of vehicles, transporting dangerous goods, and certificates of approval of vehicles for the transport of certain dangerous goods; designate the vehicle with information tables of dangerous goods and hazard signs; complete the vehicle additional equipment and fire extinguishing means, except for one fire extinguisher, with a capacity of at least 2 kg of dry powder.

UN preceded by the letters "UN" or "UN" and danger label No. 3; 35621.jpg packages must be secured in the vehicle in such a way that any significant movement during transport is excluded; it is not allowed to transport in a vehicle loaded with gasoline or diesel fuel packages of dangerous goods marked with orange danger signs (on which the letter “S” is indicated »); in transit (unless the cargo is the personal property of the owner vehicle) there must be a transport document in which, among other mandatory information, for gasoline and diesel fuel, the corresponding entry must be indicated: UN 1203, Motor gasoline, II, 3UN 1202, Diesel fuel, III, 3. to the Rules: for motor gasoline - 333 l (nominal vessel capacity in liters); for diesel fuel - 1000 l (nominal vessel capacity in liters).
It may seem that there is nothing complicated in transporting fuel. He poured it into a large barrel, which is called a fuel truck, and carried it to customers in the same way that they carry water or milk. And the fuel truck itself is not much different from the milk truck. Yes, almost nothing! From the point of view of an amateur, this is true, but in reality, everything is much more complicated.
Let's start with the fact that any liquid fuel is dangerous goods, of which there are many. Their transportation is regulated by many laws, and therefore, the organization of such transportation has been and remains an important and crucial moment.
Document classifying dangerous goods - GOST R 52734-2007. All of them fall into the following categories:
- Explosives which, under certain conditions, may cause an explosion,
- Gas and its varieties (compressed, liquefied, dissolved, etc.),
- Flammable liquids, including explosive ones,
- Solid flammable substances, or having the properties of spontaneous combustion by themselves or in contact with water,
- Various oxidizing agents and peroxides,
- Substances of an infectious and toxic nature,
- radioactive material,
- Acids, alkalis, etc.,
- Other substances that are also considered dangerous, but do not fit into one of the above groups.
Group 3 is just diesel fuel, gasoline and other liquid petroleum products. Of course, it is not the most dangerous, but it requires quite certain security measures during transportation. Moreover, the law does not limit the methods of transportation. For example, diesel fuel can be delivered by any type of transport: rail, road, etc. In this case, any vehicle must be specially equipped and the personnel must have a special permit. The fuel truck must have UN N2 OOH sign and danger sign number 3 on the back and front:
In addition, if more than 1000 liters of fuel are transported, the following conditions must be met:
- Availability of a document with the specified route of transportation.
- Availability of ADR (European Agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods), that is, evidence of the driver's preparation for the transport of hazardous substances.
- The presence of a document stating that the vehicle is approved for the transport of dangerous goods.
- Designation of the vehicle with dangerous goods plates.
- Availability of fire extinguishers.
The tanker for transportation is prepared in a certain way. If other fuel was transported in it before filling, the tank must be thoroughly washed and dried. No mixing of combustible substances is allowed. The tank must be grounded, which will reduce the likelihood of spontaneous ignition of the transported fuel. The tank must be marked with a sign indicating the type of dangerous goods. In the case of transportation in road tankers, these same tanks must be painted in a bright orange or red color with the inscription "Flammable".
A driver who has undergone special training and medical supervision, has at least 3 years of experience in driving such a vehicle, and is not under the influence of any drugs, may be allowed to drive a vehicle carrying dangerous goods. The driver must have a trace. documentation:
- Certificate of admission of the vehicle (issued by the traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of registration).
- Contract of carriage in accordance with applicable law.
- A document defining the route of transportation (must be certified and / or compiled by the departments and divisions of the traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, through the territory of which the route passes).
- Emergency card (to be completed by the manufacturer of the hazardous substance).
- Consignment note.
Transporting fuel around the city of Moscow is even more difficult. You need to have a special license allowing the transport of dangerous goods inside the third transport ring. Our company has such a license and delivers fuel to any point in Moscow.
"Oil-Expo" - wholesale supplies of diesel fuel and gasoline in Moscow and the region.
The Ruchi oil depot in the Krasnogvardeisky district of the city is one of the three PTK oil depots and one of the largest in St. Petersburg. It is designed for the simultaneous storage of 118 thousand liters of fuel. Built in the 30s of the last century, it has been modernized several times, technical re-equipment is still underway.
The location is dictated by technology: Brooks is a railway station, because it is along the rails in tanks that gasoline and diesel fuel come from the refinery to the city. At the same time, the tank farm can take 16 railway tanks of gasoline and the same amount of diesel fuel. And this is 1,900 tons of one-time discharge of oil products and the ability to process 128 tanks per day. Oil products are released into tank trucks automatically.
Automotive gasoline of grades AI-92, AI-95, AI-98 and diesel fuel of ecological classes "Euro-4" and "Euro-5" are stored here. Fuel from different tanks is poured into single tanks according to the octane number, even if the suppliers are different - this is the technology.
The proven fuel is poured into fuel trucks, and it is at this stage that so-called marketing additives are added to the fuel for AI-95 positions, sold as "improved". Fundamentally, they do not change the properties of the fuel. By the way, adding additives to increase the octane number is illegal, in which case gasoline or diesel will not comply with the technical regulations.
Quality control
While a new, more spacious laboratory is being built on the territory of the oil depot, the quality control of petroleum products is provided by the old, but solid Fuel Testing Laboratory, accredited by Rosstandart. Like the oil depot, it works around the clock. 18 people work here. They are connected at all stages of work with fuel: during acceptance, storage and release. Modern equipment (both foreign and domestic) of the laboratory practically duplicates what is used at existing refineries, and allows you to determine all the indicators of gasoline and diesel fuel.

A rather bulky apparatus for determining the octane number of fuel worth 14 million rubles flaunts in a separate room of the laboratory. The procedure itself is quite noisy (hence the name "tap on the octane") and lasts about 20 minutes. Therefore, specialists in the field of petrochemistry are skeptical about all kinds of express tests to determine the octane number - they know that this process is time-consuming and expensive.
The quality of fuel at the oil depot is not lower than the 4th class.
For a car, it is important that the gasoline or diesel fuel poured into it be at least 3rd class or Euro-3. The 4th and 5th classes are more related to environmental standards and do not affect engine operation, but emissions.
Andrey Mikheev, CEO of PTK
The laboratory conducts mainly internal control. But any motorist can also apply here with a request to conduct a study. Suppose a driver suspects that his car has become worse after refueling. So, a control analysis will cost 4.5 - 6.5 thousand rubles, and a complete analysis of diesel fuel - from 25 to 30 thousand rubles. True, in each case the price is individual and depends on the purpose of the study.

At the gas station
Arriving at a gas station, a fuel truck unloads its valuable cargo through creamy necks into fuel storage tanks (their volume can reach 50 cubic meters). They are located underground. By the way, there are gas stations that can hold more than 200 cubic meters, but then they are already considered mini-oil depots. Each neck of the tank is signed, so it's hard to make a mistake. The gas station operator is closely monitoring the drain. Each time a gas station employee takes a sample of fresh fuel, this is necessary in case the gas station claims the quality of the goods sold.
The term "Petroleum products" includes the widest list of materials that differ significantly in physical and chemical properties, purpose, scope, commercial qualities, which determines certain features of the methods and conditions of their transportation. The vast majority of petroleum products are classified as "dangerous goods", which makes it necessary to comply with certain rules when they are.
Types of petroleum products
Depending on the state of aggregation at natural temperature and pressure, petroleum products are divided into:
- gaseous;
- liquid;
- hard.
Only the last two types are transported by land transport.
In general, there are several groups of petroleum products that have similar characteristics:
- motor fuel (gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, aviation kerosene, etc.);
- petroleum oils (motor, transmission, industrial, insulating, transformer, hydraulic, and many other types);
- plastic and technological lubricants, conservation materials;
- solids (paraffin, cerebrin, cold bitumen);
- hot bitumen;
- special substances.
Rolling stock for the transportation of petroleum products
Most of the listed types are transported in bulk using specialized rolling stock (SPS). These include:
- fuel trucks (tank trucks designed for the transportation of motor fuel, liquid petroleum oils, solvents and other goods having similar physical properties);
- tankers (fuel trucks equipped with pumps for forced fuel loading and dosage);
- bitumen trucks (heated tank trucks for transporting hot bitumen) and asphalt distributors;
- gas carriers (special high-pressure tankers for the transportation of liquefied hydrocarbon gases (LHG), equipped with pumps for pumping them into long-term storage tanks);
- gas carriers (for transportation of household cylinders with LPG);
- some other types of SPS.
For the transportation of some other types of petroleum products, general-purpose rolling stock, retrofitted in accordance with the requirements, is suitable, and in rare cases, ordinary trucks. In this case, the placement of oil products requires a special container that meets the requirements of GOST 1510-84.
It should be borne in mind that petroleum products can be transported on conventional rolling stock if their quantity does not exceed the norms established by the Rules.
Example: for gasoline, this amount is 333 liters, for diesel fuel 1000 liters.
When transporting both types together, the allowable quantity is calculated
as the amount of gasoline multiplied by 3, plus the actual amount of diesel fuel.
The total amount must not exceed 1000.
Packaging for the transportation of petroleum products
For the transportation of liquid (fuel, solvents, special liquids) and viscous (oils, special lubricants) petroleum products, canisters and flasks with a capacity of 5 to 50 liters, metal or polymer barrels with a capacity of 48 to 250 liters are used. If the amount of the transported substance exceeds the established Rules (for gasoline and diesel fuel, for example, 60 liters), the container must be appropriately marked. The amount of substance in each barrel or canister must not exceed 95% of its geometric capacity.
Oil products of a commercial nature are transported in factory packaging, placed in standard packages (boxes, boxes) or on pallets covered with thermal film.
Some types of solid petroleum products (paraffin, cold bitumen, some others) can be transported in non-specialized containers - cardboard or paper drums, boxes, boxes, etc.
For the transportation of liquid petroleum products in large quantities on general-purpose rolling stock, flexitanks are widely used - elastic loose containers for standard containers. Their volume is from 10 to 24 thousand liters.
Requirements for rolling stock and transportation conditions
Cars, as well as trailers and semi-trailers, but which most types of petroleum products are transported, must comply with certain requirements regulated by the "Rules for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods ...".
The general requirements are:
- ensuring maximum fire safety measures (front location of the muffler exhaust pipe with an installed flame arrester, the presence of a backup power switch (“mass switch”) and its remote drive, grounding circuit and pin, mechanical protection of tanks and pipelines in case of impact or rollover, rear underrun bumper, some others)
- availability of a hazard information system (information plates of the established sample, inscriptions “Flammable”);
- availability of special coloring of tanks;
- configuration additional funds fire extinguishing (at least 2 fire extinguishers, sand, shovel, felt mat);
- complete set of personal protective equipment for the driver and accompanying persons;
- the presence of signal means (two autonomous flashing orange lights).
To a vehicle that responds necessary conditions, in accordance with the established procedure, an ADR certificate is issued on its admission to the transportation of a specific type (types) of petroleum products.
Transportation of petroleum products must be carried out with strict observance of traffic rules, along routes agreed in advance with the consignor and the traffic police, during daylight hours.
Requirements for drivers
Drivers transporting petroleum products must undergo special training in the prescribed manner and have an appropriate certificate of admission to the transport of dangerous goods. In addition, in addition to general briefings, they are required to undergo additional briefings relating to specific modes of transport.
Drivers must thoroughly know the rules for the transportation of petroleum products and strictly comply with them, know the procedure for their actions in the event of an emergency situation, and have all the documents necessary for the transportation of petroleum products on hand.
Documents required for the transportation of petroleum products
In addition to the general ones, the driver must carry the following:
- a copy of the contract with the shipper;
- waybill of the established sample with the appropriate marking;
- TTN for shipping;
- ADR certificate for the vehicle;
- certificate of admission to the transport of dangerous goods;
- instructions for transportation and procedure for actions in an emergency situation;
- route coordination;
- information sheet (list of telephone numbers of responsible persons, and those who are notified of the occurrence of an emergency.
Should be remembered that the transportation of petroleum products is a complex and responsible event that requires maximum discipline from all participants and strict adherence to established rules.
