B.Movement of liquid in a partially filled tank
C.A tire-pressure rule
D.A valve inspection sticker
Explanation: Virginia CDL Section 8-1 describes liquid surge as movement of liquid in partially filled tanks, which affects handling.
6When is liquid surge usually strongest?
A.When the tank is partially filled
B.When the tank is completely empty
C.When the cargo is dry freight
D.Only when parked
Explanation: A partial tank gives liquid room to move. Empty tanks have no liquid surge, and full tanks leave less room for liquid movement.
7What can forward surge do when stopping?
A.Push the truck forward
B.Lower the tank permanently
C.Make brakes unnecessary
D.Remove the need for outage
Explanation: When the liquid wave moves forward during braking, it can push against the front of the tank and affect stopping control.
8Which driving style helps control surge?
A.Smooth starts, stops, and steering
B.Hard starts and hard stops
C.Sharp swerves
D.Braking only in curves
Explanation: Smooth control inputs reduce sudden liquid movement and help keep the tanker stable.
9Why should a tanker driver begin slowing early?
A.To manage surge and allow longer stopping distance

D.To make the tank heavier
Explanation: Early gradual braking gives liquid movement time to settle and leaves space if surge pushes the vehicle.

B.A solid wall inside a tank
C.A tire tread depth
D.A CDL retest fee
Explanation: Outage or ullage is the empty space left because liquids expand as they warm.
