RE: Why are tankers that haul liquid cylindrical? Can't it be, say, rectangular?

This is good.

It had never really come to mind despite the fact that I pass tankers daily on the road but once I saw this I knew I had to read up.

I agree on the pressure generated weak spots. In a general sense, the cylinder provides a more sturdy figure than most shapes

    I agree with you. It is the best shape to use.
