Containers - Part II

[NW Mailing List]

If you are referring to the 20ft international tanks where the tank is 
almost the width of the car, then they are liquids.  Gases are carried 
in much smaller diameter tanks.  One commodity that is carried is bulk 
wine from overseas. These tanks are much more common in Europe than the US.
