Tanker population data was collected along with data resulting from accidents involving over-the-road tank carriers of flammable liquids. This data was evaluated and analyzed with respect to the incidence of lateral piercing or intrusion. Significant results include the total number of tank trucks in the country including combinations, the number of tank combinations meeting flammable liquid specifications and the percent of these reporting to D.O.T., the finding that lateral intrusion is not a significant problem, but that fire on tankers is a significant problem, and the finding that onboard fire supressing systems are feasible and desirable.
