This is a Type-4 CNG Carbon Fiber Composite Virtual Pipeline tube trailer.
a/k/a, #BombTrucks
A fully loaded Quantum VP-Lite carries about 24,000 lbs of methane at 3,600 psi. This results in a Gross Vehicular Weight at the max allowed without a DOT Special Permit: 80,000 lbs.
This is the loaded, or "high pressure" configuration.
There is also a 200 psi "low pressure" configuration, but it's not correct to call this "empty".
This trailer can never be emptied without damaging it.
At between $500,000 to $700,000 each, they want to avoid this at all costs.
I estimate at 200 psi (assuming a linear function), that an "empty" or low-pressure configuation, the trailer still holds neary a ton of methane, over 1,300 lbs.
