BZ-42 is a Soviet mobile tanker during the Second World War. The drive was mainly provided by one GAZ-M 50 hp engine. The capacity of the fuel tank was 1500 liters. The car was 5.34 meters long and 2.04 meters wide. The BZ-42 was developed as the main tanker for use mainly in the aviation regiments of the Soviet armed forces. Its main task was to significantly speed up the process of refueling aircraft at field airfields - whether from a tank-refueling tank or barrels located at the airfield. The tanker was equipped with a SKB pump connected to a gearbox. The pump could be controlled by the driver from inside the car. BZ-42s were widely used during the Soviet-German war of 1941-1945, especially in its final period.
