Anyone know why feul trucks are not rectagular shaped instead of looking like a cylinder?

Unlike a rectangular shape whose corners and flat sides create weak points of pressure, a cylindrical container does not have weak spots that need reinforcing. (Same reason why airplane windows are always rounded and not square in shape.)
