Technician A is correct because in certain tanker trailer designs, the tank itself serves as the primary structural component, with additional sub-frames attached for mounting other components. Technician B is also correct because when a tank is mounted on a straight truck with a ladder frame, it must be installed in a manner that allows the frame to move independently from the tank to accommodate chassis flex and prevent stress on the tank.
