Nope. He's the chief designer for the Anonymous Tanker Company.

Their motto: "Ignorance is Bliss".

Too bad he doesn't have a search engine.

This sure makes me nervous. At least this AP recognizes that some standard should apply.

If this is a "nitric acid tanker", one that travels over the roads there is no design opportunity. DOT requires a DOT412, Corrosive Liquid Tanker, here in the USA. There is no other alternative. Check the spec for DOT412 tankers at: :

Good Luck, Old Salt
