Marcos Antonio da Silva, Ruan Pablo Felix da Silva, Hudson Sérgio de Souza

Abstract: 

Liquid fuels like ethanol, diesel oil, and vegetable oil, are getting around more and more in tank trucks, leading the increment of fleets of trucks and their possible involvements in fuel spill accidents, whose require promptly actions in order to avoid leaks to minimize Ambiental damage to animals and human beings. The fire department, besides having legal competence it’s also the first and usually the only organ standing against this type of occurrence, with the objective of utilizing containment physical fuel resources that are efficient. Combining The existing demand with empirical knowledge, tests were made in order to analyze the efficiency of four different types of containers, taking into consideration weight, volume, and acquisition value for the containers: fine-washed sand, quicklime, and cement. Concluding that cement containers and quicklime are the most efficient for the main goal.
