Which intermodal tank has a capacity of 4500-5000 gallons?

• A. IM-101
• B. IM-102
• C. Type 7 (cryogenic) intermodal tank
• D. Type 5 pressure intermodal tank

Answer: (C)

Intermodal tank types vary by the service conditions they’re built for, and capacity ranges reflect those designs. The 4,500–5,000 gallon range is characteristic of Type 7 intermodal tanks, which are cryogenic and built to store very cold liquids like liquefied gases. Their vacuum-insulated, double-walled construction prioritizes maintaining low temperatures, and that insulation setup leads to a typical capacity in this range.

Other options aren’t cryogenic tanks, so their typical use and design differ. IM-101 and IM-102 are non-cryogenic chemical tanks used for various liquids, with capacities that don’t specifically target the cryogenic range. Type 5 pressure tanks are designed for high-pressure gases and have different structural requirements and capacity ranges, not tuned to cryogenic storage.
