English term or phrase: acoplado de camion

For example, when liquid is transferred from a confined space into a truck, an electrical charge is formed on the surface of the liquid. A charge also builds up on the outside of the truck because the truck’s tires insulate the truck from the earth.

Por ejemplo cuando un liquido se transfiere desde un acoplado de camión se forma una carga eléctrica en la superficie del disco. También se genera una carga eléctrica en la parte externa del acoplado porque sus ruedas lo aislan del suelo..

truck trailer

Explanation:
That's the term you ask for. However, the two versions you have of the text are not the same. Which ever way it has been translated, it has not been done properly.

Explanation:
En tu original no hablan de "trailer". No necesitas cambiar nada, pero si quieres hablar del estanque... estaría bien. Sólo que no estás traduciendo "al pie de la letra".

Fíjate bien, dice \"when liquid is transferred from a confined space INTO a truck\"

Entonces, sería \"cuando se transfiere un líquido desde un espacio cerrado (esto sería un \"estanque\") a un camión...\"
