Heres an interesting close up of the nearside view of a Scammell Highwayman Mk2 with the front of the barrel of the tank , its a bitumen tank as the discharge pipes have the large coupling that is bolted to the inlet of the receving tank. note the fire guard at the bottom of cab , and if you look closely you can see the compressor to pressureize the tank under the bottom of door and the outlet connection protruding at back of cab.

They look like Saro trailers, I remember most of the texaco saro trailers had Dunlop air-ride systems, a good suspensions system that usually lasted the life of the tank

I’d hazard a guess there is either something missing from the link [even something as simple as a missing letter or hyphen] or that the wrong link from somewhere like Photobucket was used.

No Paul,but thanks for the photo.We had one Buffalo at Sheffield just before I left Evans,WML 87T with the L12. Fleet 257 is a Barking based motor,pity about the state of the tankside where those bloody labels had been.
I think that photo was taken at LCOW Canvey Island.
