Vehicle routing

Description
A transporter has to deliver heating oil from a refinery to a certain number of clients. The distances between the clients and the refinery and the demands in liters for the different sites are given. The transport company uses tankers with a capacity of 39000 liters for the deliveries. Determine the tours for delivering to all clients that minimize the total number of kilometers driven.
