Discussion

literary (asker) Nov 19, 2013:
taka cysterna jest wręcz zapisana różnymi numerami
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Nov 19, 2013:
Każdy wagon ma numer rejestracyjny właściciela wagonu.
literary (asker) Nov 19, 2013:
gugluje "numer rejestracyjny cysterny", ale raczej, gdy jest to ciągnik+podwozie+cysterna = pojazd typu ciężarówka
literary (asker) Nov 18, 2013:
wagon wygląda podobnie:

literary (asker) Nov 18, 2013:
po wpisaniu "railway tanker" w Google Images widać, o co chodzi
ale czy takie cysterny mają "numer rejestracyjny"?
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Nov 17, 2013:
In the railroad context, we have a TANK CAR.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_car
A tank car (International Union of Railways (UIC): tank wagon) is a type of railroad car (UIC: railway car) or rolling stock designed to transport liquid and gaseous commodities.
roster Nov 17, 2013:
to i tak jest tanker (truck/railway)
literary (asker) Nov 17, 2013:
dalej nagle mowa o "cysternie kolejowej", która jest rozładowywana; mowa też o wagonach (jako alternatywie dla cystern)
roster Nov 17, 2013:
nie mam pojęcia może się i da, ale chodzi o to, że jest opróżniana (podpina się przewody, cysterny zdejmować nie trzeba), a jej zawartość jest umieszczana w jakimś zbiorniku i jest to odnotowywane w systemie rozliczeniowym/surowców/itp.
literary (asker) Nov 17, 2013:
czy w ogóle można taką cysternę odczepić od podwozia?
literary (asker) Nov 17, 2013:
PWN Oxford: wagon cysterna = tank car
literary (asker) Nov 17, 2013:
dalej jest mowa o "numerze rejestracyjnym cysterny" - chyba chodzi o cały pojazd, a nie tylko zbiornik
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Nov 16, 2013:
We have an interesting question here. Roster is correct that the truck is a TANKER. However, the AMOUNT of oil in a tanker (used in the calculation above) can be a TANK of oil, since you do not multiply a tanker but a tank.
literary (asker) Nov 16, 2013:
Czy chodzi o całe ciężarówki z cysternami, czy tylko o zbiorniki?

tanker

Note from asker:
tak, polska "cysterna" odpowiada zdjęciom z angielskiej Wikipedii, jednak u mnie to właściwie zapewne "cysterna kolejowa"

cistern/tank/vat

cistern would be a safe choice, given the similarity to cysterna

I think tank truck, tanker truck, or petrol tanker are the right answers.

short is tanker, per roster's answer

However, as a MEASURE, one TANK is right - the amount that the container can hold:, e.g., buy a tank of gas.

Thank you, Lilain. You can always be counted on to provide a ready advice.
agree mike23 : I would go for 'tank' too as we don't know whether it's static or towable storage equipment.

I thank you, accept your kind advice, and also vote for "tank." There is something about collective wisdom.
agree petkovw : tank

Thanks, petkovw, for confirming this choice. We should raise tankards to this.
