This Western Star 47X is a fuel tanker truck — sometimes referred to as a fuel hauler or petroleum tanker — purpose-built for the bulk transport and delivery of liquid fuels. Fuel tanker trucks of this type are essential in agricultural, construction, mining, and commercial fuelling operations, moving large volumes of product from terminals and bulk storage to end users in the field or at fixed facilities. Western Star is a well-established North American heavy-duty truck manufacturer with a long history of building rugged, vocationally specified trucks for demanding industries including oilfield, construction, logging, and bulk transport.
This unit (Unit 203018) is a 2026 model year chassis paired with a 2025 Seneca tank, making it essentially new equipment being offered in used condition from Iowa, USA. The chassis is powered by a Cummins X12 engine rated at 455 horsepower, mated to an Allison 4500RDS automatic transmission — a heavy-duty, electronically controlled unit widely regarded in the vocational trucking industry for its reliability and smooth power delivery under load. The Allison 4500RDS is a popular choice in tanker and bulk-haul applications where consistent, fatigue-reducing drivability is a priority.
The Seneca tank has a total capacity of 5,000 US gallons, divided into five compartments of 1,000 gallons each. This five-compartment configuration allows operators to carry multiple fuel grades simultaneously or to segregate product loads for multi-stop deliveries without cross-contamination. Tank plumbing is set up with dry break couplings and whip hose connections, a professional-grade system that minimises spillage during loading and offloading. The tank also has provisions in place for bottom loading, meaning the infrastructure to add a full bottom-load system is already installed on the unit — the components themselves can be added without requiring structural modifications.
All controls are air-operated, consistent with a well-specified vocational tanker intended for high-cycle daily use. Lighting throughout is fully LED. The truck is described as built on the ground and available, indicating it is a completed, ready-to-work unit rather than a build-to-order or in-process configuration. It is listed as the Advantage model variant.
