On a used tank trailer, confirm what it last held — a tank rated for water is not rated for fuel or chemicals. Inspect the tank for dents, corrosion, and prior repairs, check the baffles (slosh tells you they're intact), and pressure-test valves, fittings, and the pump if equipped. Verify the frame, axles, brakes, and tire ratings for the loaded weight. For any fuel/chemical use, get the DOT spec and certification history.
