Fully loaded, the tanker will weigh significantly more. Your question does not seem to specify.
Eight feet.
That depends on the wheelbase of the power unit.
An oil tanker floats due to the principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight. The design of the tanker includes a hull that is shaped to displace a significant amount of water, creating an upward buoyant force that counteracts its weight. Additionally, the tanker is built with a lightweight structure and is often partially filled with air, which helps keep it above water. As long as the weight of the water displaced is greater than or equal to the weight of the tanker, it will remain afloat.
The net weight of a 53-foot standard semi-trailer typically ranges between 15,000 to 20,000 pounds (approximately 6,800 to 9,100 kilograms) when empty, depending on the trailer's construction and materials. The specific weight can vary based on the type of trailer (e.g., dry van, refrigerated) and additional features. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for accurate weight details.
The tankers that are pulled by semi tractors hold 5000 gallons.
A Oil Tanker can carry up to 550,000 DWT '' Dead Weight Tons'' DelSol_Racer.
Semi trailers hold 5000 gallons. One that held 6000 gallons would be too heavy to drive on the highway.

The maximum net cargo weight for a single axle semi-trailer is typically limited to 20,000 pounds (approximately 9,072 kilograms) in the United States. However, this limit can vary based on specific state regulations and the overall weight distribution of the vehicle. It's important to check local laws and regulations, as they can impose additional restrictions. Additionally, federal bridge laws may affect weight limits based on the number of axles and the configuration of the vehicle.
For a standard, unbaffled, non-compartmentalised two axle liquid tanker trailer, between 6,000 - 7,000 gallons, typically. How much they can actually carry legally will depend on the weight of the commodity being transported.
To calculate the gross weight from the net weight, you need to add the tare weight to the net weight. The tare weight is the weight of the packaging or container that holds the product. Adding the tare weight to the net weight gives you the total or gross weight of the product including the packaging.
