Diesel in storage truck temperature
Diesel in storage truck temperature
(OP)
I am trying to calculate the temperature change with time for diesel left in a storage tank overnight in cold weather.
What do I need to know? and is there a standard formula or program?
The tank is made of Alminum, volume stored is about 6000 liters, tank dimensions are 6.75 m long, 2.3 m wide and 1.92 m high.

However, I might be able to assist you in this easy fact, Aluminum being one of the better heat transfer materials, and where I live (above the 49th parallel) and the temp. (MINUS -40) 6 months of the year, water in the same container, would freeze in 2 hours.
