Octagonal tank section helps to create a low center of gravity, which is a critical safety factor on a high capacity tanker like this.

The mid mount pump also helps with traction and roadholding, by pushing the weight of the tank's contents back onto the tandem drive axles.

In short, this is a design which deserves to be taken as an excellent example of how it should be done!
