Abstract
When a transport tank for transporting liquids is to be transported with only a partial load, the slosh forces occurring in this case may be reduced by means of slosh guard elements adapted to be built into the already existing tank. The slosh guard elements comprise strips of material bent generally to .OMEGA.-shape, which are fixed in the region of the opening of the .OMEGA.-shape to rails having cross profile. The rails and the slosh guard elements are dimensioned such that they can be introduced through the manhole provided in the tank outer wall.
